ab tak lahu ka zaiqa KHanjar pe naqsh hai
ab tak lahū kā zā.iqa ḳhanjar pe naqsh hai
ye kis kā naam dast-e-sitam-gar pe naqsh hai
bārish bhī āftāb kā dāman na dho sakī
kuchh gard ab bhī dhuup ke shahpar pe naqsh hai
terā hī aks raat ke ā.īne meñ asiir
terā hī ḳhvāb niiñd ke bistar pe naqsh hai
jis ko tire laboñ kā tasavvur na dho sake
vo talḳhī-e-hayāt bhī sāġhar pe naqsh hai
āñgan se dastakoñ kī sadā lauT aa.egī
vīrāniyoñ kā naam har ik ghar pe naqsh hai
paanī kī ye lakīr nahīñ hai jo miT sake
shīshe kī dāstān to patthar pe naqsh hai
jakḌā huā hai pichhle janam ke hisār meñ
maazī kā sāneha dil-e-'aḳhtar' pe naqsh hai
ab tak lahu ka zaiqa KHanjar pe naqsh hai
ye kis ka nam dast-e-sitam-gar pe naqsh hai
barish bhi aaftab ka daman na dho saki
kuchh gard ab bhi dhup ke shahpar pe naqsh hai
tera hi aks raat ke aaine mein asir
tera hi KHwab nind ke bistar pe naqsh hai
jis ko tere labon ka tasawwur na dho sake
wo talKHi-e-hayat bhi saghar pe naqsh hai
aangan se dastakon ki sada lauT aaegi
viraniyon ka nam har ek ghar pe naqsh hai
pani ki ye lakir nahin hai jo miT sake
shishe ki dastan to patthar pe naqsh hai
jakDa hua hai pichhle janam ke hisar mein
mazi ka saneha dil-e-'aKHtar' pe naqsh hai
