ye dastan hai shahidon ki KHun-chakida hai
ye dāstāñ hai shahīdoñ kī ḳhūñ-chakīdā hai
qalam bhī dast-e-muarriḳh meñ sar-burīda hai
hayāt aisī zuleḳhā ki aaj kā yūsuf
gunāh-gār hai aur pairahan-darīda hai
lahū jalāo charāġhoñ meñ raushnī ke liye
hamāre daur kā sūraj to shab-gazīda hai
dabā dabā sā ye tūfāñ ghaTī ghaTī halchal
havāoñ meñ koī paiġhām nā-rasīda hai
tamām maz.har-e-fitrat tire ġhazal-ḳhvāñ haiñ
ye chāñdnī bhī tire jism kā qasīda hai
na bujh sakegī mirī pyaas āñsuoñ se 'asar'
ye abr kyuuñ mirī hālat pe āb-dīda hai
ye dastan hai shahidon ki KHun-chakida hai
qalam bhi dast-e-muarriKH mein sar-burida hai
hayat aisi zuleKHa ki aaj ka yusuf
gunah-gar hai aur pairahan-darida hai
lahu jalao charaghon mein raushni ke liye
hamare daur ka suraj to shab-gazida hai
daba daba sa ye tufan ghaTi ghaTi halchal
hawaon mein koi paigham na-rasida hai
tamam mazhar-e-fitrat tere ghazal-KHwan hain
ye chandni bhi tere jism ka qasida hai
na bujh sakegi meri pyas aansuon se 'asar'
ye abr kyun meri haalat pe aab-dida hai
