bahar hisar-e-gham se faqat dekhne mein tha
bāhar hisār-e-ġham se faqat dekhne meñ thā
uljhā huā to vo bhī kisī mas.ale meñ thā
yuuñ bhī ġhalat umiid kā ilzām aa gayā
hālāñki har savāl mirā zābte meñ thā
duniyā kī fikr tujh ko mujhe thā tirā ḳhayāl
bas itnā farq tere mire sochne meñ thā
har shaḳhs apne-āp ko samjhe hue thā miir
taqlīd-e-kār koī kahāñ qāfile meñ thā
patthar vahīñ se aate the mujh ko navāzne
shīshe kā ik makāñ jo mire rāste meñ thā
'sultān' hukmarāñ thā vo har lamha zehn par
mashġhūl raat din maiñ jise bhūlne meñ thā
bahar hisar-e-gham se faqat dekhne mein tha
uljha hua to wo bhi kisi masale mein tha
yun bhi ghalat umid ka ilzam aa gaya
haalanki har sawal mera zabte mein tha
duniya ki fikr tujh ko mujhe tha tera KHayal
bas itna farq tere mere sochne mein tha
har shaKHs apne-ap ko samjhe hue tha mir
taqlid-e-kar koi kahan qafile mein tha
patthar wahin se aate the mujh ko nawazne
shishe ka ek makan jo mere raste mein tha
'sultan' hukmaran tha wo har lamha zehn par
mashghul raat din main jise bhulne mein tha
