andhera itna nahin hai ki kuchh dikhai na de
añdherā itnā nahīñ hai ki kuchh dikhā.ī na de
sukūt aisā nahīñ hai jo kuchh sunā.ī na de
jo sunñā chāho to bol uTTheñge añdhere bhī
na sunñā chāho to dil kī sadā sunā.ī na de
jo dekhnā ho to ā.īna-ḳhāna hai ye sukūt
ho aañkh band to ik naqsh bhī dikhā.ī na de
ye rūheñ is liye chehroñ se ḳhud ko Dhāñpe haiñ
mile zamīr to ilzām-e-bevafā.ī na de
kuchh aise log bhī tanhā hujūm meñ haiñ chhupe
ki zindagī unheñ pahchān kar duhā.ī na de
huuñ apne-āp se bhī ajnabī zamāne ke saath
ab itnī saḳht sazā dil kī āshnā.ī na de
sabhī ke zehn haiñ maqrūz kyā qadīm o jadīd
ḳhud apnā naqd-e-dil-o-jāñ kahīñ dikhā.ī na de
bahut hai fursat-e-dīvāngī kī hasrat bhī
'vahīd' vaqt gar izn-e-ġhazal-sarā.ī na de
andhera itna nahin hai ki kuchh dikhai na de
sukut aisa nahin hai jo kuchh sunai na de
jo sunna chaho to bol uTThenge andhere bhi
na sunna chaho to dil ki sada sunai na de
jo dekhna ho to aaina-KHana hai ye sukut
ho aankh band to ek naqsh bhi dikhai na de
ye ruhen is liye chehron se KHud ko Dhanpe hain
mile zamir to ilzam-e-bewafai na de
kuchh aise log bhi tanha hujum mein hain chhupe
ki zindagi unhen pahchan kar duhai na de
hun apne-ap se bhi ajnabi zamane ke sath
ab itni saKHt saza dil ki aashnai na de
sabhi ke zehn hain maqruz kya qadim o jadid
KHud apna naqd-e-dil-o-jaan kahin dikhai na de
bahut hai fursat-e-diwangi ki hasrat bhi
'wahid' waqt gar izn-e-ghazal-sarai na de
