aae kya tera tasawwur dhyan mein
aa.e kyā terā tasavvur dhyān meñ
kuchh se kuchh hai aan hī kī aan meñ
yaañ ishārāt-e-ġhalat par zindagī
vaañ adā hai aur hī sāmān meñ
teġh-e-qātil hai rag-e-gardan mirī
āb-e-paikāñ dam tan-e-be-jān meñ
yā to qātil ho gayā rahm-āshnā
yā paḌe hoñge kahīñ maidān meñ
ashk apne phir phirā kar har taraf
aa.e āḳhir tere hī dāmān meñ
haa.e kaise kaise vārasta-mizāj
sar-nigūñ dam band haiñ zindān meñ
ka.aba āñkhoñ meñ samātā hī nahīñ
kyā butoñ ne kah diyā kuchh kaan meñ
aañkh ke uThte hī uThte kuchh na thā
ham chale armān hī armān meñ
dair-o-ka.aba par nahīñ mauqūf kuchh
aur hī kuchh shaan hai har shaan meñ
girya-e-sad-sirrī aur ham kam-hausla
kashtī apnī aa ga.ī tūfān meñ
jannat o dozaḳh se kyā ummīd-o-bīm
hasrateñ sī hasrateñ haiñ jaan meñ
ḳhud-parastī aur islām-āfrīñ
ka.aba-e-āshiq hai kufristān meñ
ai 'qalaq' kal tak gadā-e-dair the
aaj da.ave ho ga.e īmān meñ
aae kya tera tasawwur dhyan mein
kuchh se kuchh hai aan hi ki aan mein
yan ishaaraat-e-ghalat par zindagi
wan ada hai aur hi saman mein
tegh-e-qatil hai rag-e-gardan meri
aab-e-paikan dam tan-e-be-jaan mein
ya to qatil ho gaya rahm-ashna
ya paDe honge kahin maidan mein
ashk apne phir phira kar har taraf
aae aaKHir tere hi daman mein
hae kaise kaise warasta-mizaj
sar-nigun dam band hain zindan mein
kaba aankhon mein samata hi nahin
kya buton ne kah diya kuchh kan mein
aankh ke uThte hi uThte kuchh na tha
hum chale arman hi arman mein
dair-o-kaba par nahin mauquf kuchh
aur hi kuchh shan hai har shan mein
girya-e-sad-sirri aur hum kam-hausla
kashti apni aa gai tufan mein
jannat o dozaKH se kya ummid-o-bim
hasraten si hasraten hain jaan mein
KHud-parasti aur islam-afrin
kaba-e-ashiq hai kufristan mein
ai 'qalaq' kal tak gada-e-dair the
aaj dawe ho gae iman mein
