baDe hi shauq se hum sharh-e-arzu karte
baḌe hī shauq se ham sharh-e-ārzū karte
agar vo ḳhatm na mauzū-e-guftugū karte
jo mai-kashī na ba-andāza-e-subū karte
galī galī meñ tamāshā-e-ābrū karte
ye ḳhauf thā ki junūñ par na harf aa jaa.e
ḳhushī se chāk-garebāñ na ham rafū karte
hamāre ḳhuun ke asbāb sau nikal aate
bahāna koī na koī bahāna-jū karte
jo apne ḳhuun se apne diye jalā lete
vo kyā kisī ke charāġhoñ kī aarzū karte
anā pe harf na aatā to koī baat na thī
darāz muft meñ kyoñ dast-e-ārzū karte
tamām dasht ke zarroñ ke hoñT pyāse the
ham apne ḳhuun se kis kis ko surḳh-rū karte
na jaane kitnī tamannā.eñ janm le letīñ
agar vo qat.a kahīñ shāḳh-e-ārzū karte
ḳhabar jo hotī ulajhnā paḌegā ḳhāroñ se
'zuhūr' ham na tamannā-e-rang-o-bū karte
baDe hi shauq se hum sharh-e-arzu karte
agar wo KHatm na mauzu-e-guftugu karte
jo mai-kashi na ba-andaza-e-subu karte
gali gali mein tamasha-e-abru karte
ye KHauf tha ki junun par na harf aa jae
KHushi se chaak-gareban na hum rafu karte
hamare KHun ke asbab sau nikal aate
bahana koi na koi bahana-ju karte
jo apne KHun se apne diye jala lete
wo kya kisi ke charaghon ki aarzu karte
ana pe harf na aata to koi baat na thi
daraaz muft mein kyon dast-e-arzu karte
tamam dasht ke zarron ke honT pyase the
hum apne KHun se kis kis ko surKH-ru karte
na jaane kitni tamannaen janm le letin
agar wo qata kahin shaKH-e-arzu karte
KHabar jo hoti ulajhna paDega KHaron se
'zuhur' hum na tamanna-e-rang-o-bu karte
