zaKHm kab ka tha dard uTha hai ab
zaḳhm kab kā thā dard uThā hai ab
us ke jaane kā dukh huā hai ab
merī āñkhoñ meñ ḳhvāb haiñ jis ke
us kī āñkhoñ meñ rat-jagā hai ab
sunte aate haiñ qāfila dil kā
rahguzar meñ kahīñ rukā hai ab
vo jo patthar kā thā musāfir vo
shahr-e-afsūñ se aa gayā hai ab
jo mirī ḳhvāhishoñ kī manzil thī
us ke aane kā rāsta hai ab
jis ko DhūñDā thā maiñ ne har jānib
mere dil meñ kahīñ chhupā hai ab
kitne ḳhvāboñ meñ rañg us ke haiñ
kitnī āñkhoñ se dekhtā hai ab
kitne mausam haiñ sirf us ke liye
kitne chehroñ pe vo sajā hai ab
kitnī bātoñ meñ us kī bāteñ haiñ
kitne lahjoñ meñ boltā hai ab
jo tire shahr le ke aatā thā
ruḳh vo dariyā badal rahā hai ab
aao dastak hī de ke dekheñ to
vahī darvāza phir khulā hai ab
is havāle se zindagī merī
ghane jañgal kā silsila hai ab
ek dīvāna apnī vahshat meñ
baat kahne kī kah gayā hai ab
zaKHm kab ka tha dard uTha hai ab
us ke jaane ka dukh hua hai ab
meri aankhon mein KHwab hain jis ke
us ki aankhon mein rat-jaga hai ab
sunte aate hain qafila dil ka
rahguzar mein kahin ruka hai ab
wo jo patthar ka tha musafir wo
shahr-e-afsun se aa gaya hai ab
jo meri KHwahishon ki manzil thi
us ke aane ka rasta hai ab
jis ko DhunDa tha main ne har jaanib
mere dil mein kahin chhupa hai ab
kitne KHwabon mein rang us ke hain
kitni aankhon se dekhta hai ab
kitne mausam hain sirf us ke liye
kitne chehron pe wo saja hai ab
kitni baaton mein us ki baaten hain
kitne lahjon mein bolta hai ab
jo tere shahr le ke aata tha
ruKH wo dariya badal raha hai ab
aao dastak hi de ke dekhen to
wahi darwaza phir khula hai ab
is hawale se zindagi meri
ghane jangal ka silsila hai ab
ek diwana apni wahshat mein
baat kahne ki kah gaya hai ab
