baham suluk-e-KHas ka ek silsila bhi hai
bāham sulūk-e-ḳhās kā ik silsila bhī hai
vo kaun saath saath hai lekin judā bhī hai
barg-e-ḳhizāñ kī zard sī tahrīr hai magar
dast-e-shafaq meñ phuul sunahrā khilā bhī hai
īthar kī dhund meñ haiñ ga.e mausamoñ ke naqsh
ik haath piiTh par hai diyā ik jalā bhī hai
afkār jaise shaḳhs barahna nagar ke haiñ!
alfāz ajnabī ki nayā nāravā bhī hai
paanī meñ ik charāġh kī lau nam gudāz surḳh
paanī meñ koī aks ajab zard sā bhī hai
ik nashsha! dhūp! ḳhvāb! shafaq! chāñdnī! sarāb
khiḌkī gumāñ kii! sāmne manzar nayā bhī hai
aao banā.eñ kashtiyāñ kāġhaz kī chal ke raaz
purvā chalī hai jhuum ke bādal uThā bhī hai
baham suluk-e-KHas ka ek silsila bhi hai
wo kaun sath sath hai lekin juda bhi hai
barg-e-KHizan ki zard si tahrir hai magar
dast-e-shafaq mein phul sunahra khila bhi hai
ithar ki dhund mein hain gae mausamon ke naqsh
ek hath piTh par hai diya ek jala bhi hai
afkar jaise shaKHs barahna nagar ke hain!
alfaz ajnabi ki naya narawa bhi hai
pani mein ek charagh ki lau nam gudaz surKH
pani mein koi aks ajab zard sa bhi hai
ek nashsha! dhup! KHwab! shafaq! chandni! sarab
khiDki guman ki! samne manzar naya bhi hai
aao banaen kashtiyan kaghaz ki chal ke raaz
purwa chali hai jhum ke baadal uTha bhi hai
