zabt ki had se guzar kar Khaar to hona hi tha
zabt kī had se guzar kar ḳhaar to honā hī thā
shiddat-e-ġham kā magar iz.hār to honā hī thā
aa.ine kab tak salāmat rahte shahr-e-sañg meñ
ek din patthar koī bedār to honā hī thā
ḳhaak meñ milnā hī thā ik din ġhurūr-e-zindagī
ret kī dīvār ko mismār to honā hī thā
kis tarah karte nazar-andāz apne aap ko
ik na ik din zindagī se pyaar to honā hī thā
koī āmāda na thā rāheñ badalne ke liye
rāsta millat kā phir dushvār to honā hī thā
jis taraf dekhā udhar apne hī the ḳhanjar-ba-kaf
phir mire īsār ko talvār to honā hī thā
ḳhvāhisheñ be-rabt thiiñ be-zauq thā dast-e-talab
aisī hājat kā sila inkār to honā hī thā
ek din kahnā hī thā ik dūsre ko alvidā.a
āḳhirash 'sālim' judā ik baar to honā hī thā
zabt ki had se guzar kar KHar to hona hi tha
shiddat-e-gham ka magar izhaar to hona hi tha
aaine kab tak salamat rahte shahr-e-sang mein
ek din patthar koi bedar to hona hi tha
KHak mein milna hi tha ek din ghurur-e-zindagi
ret ki diwar ko mismar to hona hi tha
kis tarah karte nazar-andaz apne aap ko
ek na ek din zindagi se pyar to hona hi tha
koi aamada na tha rahen badalne ke liye
rasta millat ka phir dushwar to hona hi tha
jis taraf dekha udhar apne hi the KHanjar-ba-kaf
phir mere isar ko talwar to hona hi tha
KHwahishen be-rabt thin be-zauq tha dast-e-talab
aisi hajat ka sila inkar to hona hi tha
ek din kahna hi tha ek dusre ko alwidaa
aaKHirash 'salim' juda ek bar to hona hi tha
