Interesting Fact
(Funun, January-February 1968)
āñkhoñ meñ kahīñ us kī bhī tūfāñ to nahīñ thā
vo mujh se judā ho ke pashemāñ to nahīñ thā
kyuuñ us ne na kī mujh se sar-e-bazm koī baat
maiñ sañg-e-malāmat se gurezāñ to nahīñ thā
kyuuñ rāsta dekhā kiyā us kā maiñ sar-e-shām
be-dard kā mujh se koī paimāñ to nahīñ thā
thī aag bhī terī hī tarah hosh kī dushman
varna mujhe jal marne kā armāñ to nahīñ thā
thā dil bhī kabhī shahr-e-tamannā meñ mumāsil
ye qarya hamesha se bayābāñ to nahīñ thā
kyuuñ us ne mujhe azmat-e-qur.āñ kī qasam dī
vo rahzan-e-īmān musalmāñ to nahīñ thā
kyuuñ mujh se tavaqqo.a thī use jāh-o-hasham kī
maiñ banda-e-nādār sulaimāñ to nahīñ thā
tūfān-e-alam kyuuñ mujhe sāhil pe utārā
maiñ shor-e-talātum se hirāsāñ to nahīñ thā
shab-bhar mirī palkoñ meñ damakte rahe taare
kal raat yahāñ jashn-e-charāġhāñ to nahīñ thā
kahte haiñ ki hai 'arsh' nigūñ pā-e-nabī par
aisā vo koī sāhab-e-īmāñ to nahīñ thā
aankhon mein kahin us ki bhi tufan to nahin tha
wo mujh se juda ho ke pasheman to nahin tha
kyun us ne na ki mujh se sar-e-bazm koi baat
main sang-e-malamat se gurezan to nahin tha
kyun rasta dekha kiya us ka main sar-e-sham
be-dard ka mujh se koi paiman to nahin tha
thi aag bhi teri hi tarah hosh ki dushman
warna mujhe jal marne ka arman to nahin tha
tha dil bhi kabhi shahr-e-tamanna mein mumasil
ye qarya hamesha se bayaban to nahin tha
kyun us ne mujhe azmat-e-quran ki qasam di
wo rahzan-e-iman musalman to nahin tha
kyun mujh se tawaqqoa thi use jah-o-hasham ki
main banda-e-nadar sulaiman to nahin tha
tufan-e-alam kyun mujhe sahil pe utara
main shor-e-talatum se hirasan to nahin tha
shab-bhar meri palkon mein damakte rahe tare
kal raat yahan jashn-e-charaghan to nahin tha
kahte hain ki hai 'arsh' nigun pa-e-nabi par
aisa wo koi sahab-e-iman to nahin tha
