tamam shahr mein tira-shabi ka charcha tha
tamām shahr meñ tīra-shabī kā charchā thā
ye aur baat ki sūraj ufuq pe niklā thā
ajiib vaj.h-e-mulāqāt thī mirī us se
ki vo bhī merī tarah shahr meñ akelā thā
maiñ sab samajhtī rahī aur muskurātī rahī
mirā mizāj azal se payambaroñ sā thā
maiñ us ko kho ke bhī us ko pukārtī hī rahī
ki saarā rabt to āvāz ke safar kā thā
maiñ gul-parast bhī gul se nibāh kar na sakī
shu.ūr-e-zāt kā kāñTā bahut nukīlā thā
sab ehtisāb meñ gum the hujūm-e-yārāñ meñ
ḳhudā kī tarah mirā jurm-e-ishq tanhā thā
vo tere qurb kā lamha thā yā koī ilhām
ki us ke lams se dil meñ gulāb khiltā thā
mujhe bhī mere ḳhudā kulfatoñ kā ajr mile
tujhe zamīñ pe baḌe karb se utārā thā
tamam shahr mein tira-shabi ka charcha tha
ye aur baat ki suraj ufuq pe nikla tha
ajib wajh-e-mulaqat thi meri us se
ki wo bhi meri tarah shahr mein akela tha
main sab samajhti rahi aur muskuraati rahi
mera mizaj azal se payambaron sa tha
main us ko kho ke bhi us ko pukarti hi rahi
ki sara rabt to aawaz ke safar ka tha
main gul-parast bhi gul se nibah kar na saki
shuur-e-zat ka kanTa bahut nukila tha
sab ehtisab mein gum the hujum-e-yaran mein
KHuda ki tarah mera jurm-e-ishq tanha tha
wo tere qurb ka lamha tha ya koi ilham
ki us ke lams se dil mein gulab khilta tha
mujhe bhi mere KHuda kulfaton ka ajr mile
tujhe zamin pe baDe karb se utara tha
