aankhon ki dahliz pe aa kar baiTh gai

āñkhoñ kī dahlīz pe aa kar baiTh ga.ī

terī sūrat ḳhvāb sajā kar baiTh ga.ī

kal terī tasvīr mukammal kī maiñ ne

fauran us par titlī aa kar baiTh ga.ī

tānā-bānā bunte bunte ham udhḌe

hasrat phir thak kar ġhash khā kar baiTh ga.ī

khoj rahā hai aaj bhī vo gūlar kā phuul

duniyā to afvāh uḌā kar baiTh ga.ī

rone kī tarkīb hamāre aa.ī kaam

ġham kī miTTī paanī pā kar baiTh ga.ī

vo bhī laḌte laḌte jag se haar gayā

chāhat bhī ghar-bār luTā kar baiTh ga.ī

būḌhī maañ kā shāyad lauT aayā bachpan

guḌiyoñ kā ambār lagā kar baiTh ga.ī

ab ke charāġhoñ ne chauñkāyā duniyā ko

āñdhī āḳhir meñ jhunjhlā kar baiTh ga.ī

ek se baḌh kar ek the daavñ sharāfat ke

jiit magar ham se katrā kar baiTh ga.ī

tere shahr se ho kar aa.ī tez havā

phir dil kī buniyād hilā kar baiTh ga.ī

aankhon ki dahliz pe aa kar baiTh gai

teri surat KHwab saja kar baiTh gai

kal teri taswir mukammal ki main ne

fauran us par titli aa kar baiTh gai

tana-bana bunte bunte hum udhDe

hasrat phir thak kar ghash kha kar baiTh gai

khoj raha hai aaj bhi wo gular ka phul

duniya to afwah uDa kar baiTh gai

rone ki tarkib hamare aai kaam

gham ki miTTi pani pa kar baiTh gai

wo bhi laDte laDte jag se haar gaya

chahat bhi ghar-bar luTa kar baiTh gai

buDhi man ka shayad lauT aaya bachpan

guDiyon ka ambar laga kar baiTh gai

ab ke charaghon ne chaunkaya duniya ko

aandhi aaKHir mein jhunjhla kar baiTh gai

ek se baDh kar ek the dawn sharafat ke

jit magar hum se katra kar baiTh gai

tere shahr se ho kar aai tez hawa

phir dil ki buniyaad hila kar baiTh gai
