aankhon mein kahin uske bhi tufan to nahin tha
āñkhoñ meñ kahīñ us ke bhī tūfāñ to nahīñ thā
vo mujh se judā ho ke pashemāñ to nahīñ thā
kyuuñ mujh se na kī us ne sar-e-bazm koī baat
maiñ sañg-e-malāmat se gurezāñ to nahīñ thā
haañ harf-e-tasallī ke liye thā maiñ pareshāñ
pahlū meñ mire dil thā kuhistāñ to nahīñ thā
kyuuñ rāsta dekhā kiyā us kā maiñ sar-e-shām
be-dard kā mujh se koī paimāñ to nahīñ thā
jalva thā tirā aag meñ har lahza huvaidā
varna mujhe jal marne kā armāñ to nahīñ thā
thā dil bhī kabhī shahr-e-tamannā se mumāsil
ye qarya hamesha se bayābāñ to nahīñ thā
tūfān-e-alam kyuuñ mujhe sāhil pe utārā
maiñ shor-e-talātum se hirāsāñ to nahīñ thā
rakkhā thā chhupā kar jise alfāz meñ maiñ ne
parde meñ suḳhan ke bhī vo uryāñ to nahīñ thā
kahte haiñ ki hai 'arsh' nigūñ paa.e nabī par
aisā vo koī sāhab-e-īmāñ to nahīñ thā
aankhon mein kahin us ke bhi tufan to nahin tha
wo mujh se juda ho ke pasheman to nahin tha
kyun mujh se na ki us ne sar-e-bazm koi baat
main sang-e-malamat se gurezan to nahin tha
han harf-e-tasalli ke liye tha main pareshan
pahlu mein mere dil tha kuhistan to nahin tha
kyun rasta dekha kiya us ka main sar-e-sham
be-dard ka mujh se koi paiman to nahin tha
jalwa tha tera aag mein har lahza huwaida
warna mujhe jal marne ka arman to nahin tha
tha dil bhi kabhi shahr-e-tamanna se mumasil
ye qarya hamesha se bayaban to nahin tha
tufan-e-alam kyun mujhe sahil pe utara
main shor-e-talatum se hirasan to nahin tha
rakkha tha chhupa kar jise alfaz mein main ne
parde mein suKHan ke bhi wo uryan to nahin tha
kahte hain ki hai 'arsh' nigun pae nabi par
aisa wo koi sahab-e-iman to nahin tha
