badal ke bhes vo chehrā kahāñ kahāñ na milā
talāsh jis kī thī vo husn-e-jāvedāñ na milā
khaḌā huuñ kab se sar-e-rahguzār-e-vaqt nadīm
maiñ jis ke saath chalūñ aisā kārvāñ na milā
ḳhizāñ guzar ga.ī lekin guloñ ke rañg haiñ zard
bahār ko sila-e-ḳhūn-e-kushtagāñ na milā
kahāñ se zehn meñ chhup chhup ke vahm aate haiñ
kabhī yaqīñ ko surāġh-e-rah-e-gumāñ na milā
maiñ ahl-e-fikr kī bastī bhī rauñd aayā huuñ
kahīñ koī ġham-e-hastī kā rāzdāñ na milā
kuchal ke yaad kī lāsheñ guzar gayā ġham-e-dahr
maiñ DhūñDhtā rahā zaḳhmoñ kā bhī nishāñ na milā
utar ke dekh chukā rañg ke jazīroñ meñ
tire shabāb kā vo rañg-e-arġhavāñ na milā
badal ke bhes wo chehra kahan kahan na mila
talash jis ki thi wo husn-e-jawedan na mila
khaDa hun kab se sar-e-rahguzar-e-waqt nadim
main jis ke sath chalun aisa karwan na mila
KHizan guzar gai lekin gulon ke rang hain zard
bahaar ko sila-e-KHun-e-kushtagan na mila
kahan se zehn mein chhup chhup ke wahm aate hain
kabhi yaqin ko suragh-e-rah-e-guman na mila
main ahl-e-fikr ki basti bhi raund aaya hun
kahin koi gham-e-hasti ka raazdan na mila
kuchal ke yaad ki lashen guzar gaya gham-e-dahr
main DhunDhta raha zaKHmon ka bhi nishan na mila
utar ke dekh chuka rang ke jaziron mein
tere shabab ka wo rang-e-arghawan na mila
