barabar KHwab se chehron ki hijrat dekhte rahna
barābar ḳhvāb se chehroñ kī hijrat dekhte rahnā
guzar chukne pe bhī vo shām-e-rahlat dekhte rahnā
dhanak kī bārisheñ barfāb shahroñ par nahīñ hotīñ
yahāñ phūloñ kā rasta umr bhar mat dekhte rahnā
kitāboñ kī tahoñ meñ DhūñDhnā nā-dīda ashyā kā
palaT kar phir koī ḳhālī ibārat dekhte rahnā
hujūm-e-shahr ke sannāTe meñ gum-sum vo Tiila sā
usī ko aate jaate be-zarūrat dekhte rahnā
jise maiñ chhū nahīñ saktā dikhā.ī kyuuñ vo detā hai
farishtoñ jaisī bas merī ibādat dekhte rahnā
'musavvir' kuchh na kahne kā ye dukh bhī saḳht zālim hai
talab kar legī lafzoñ kī adālat dekhte rahnā
barabar KHwab se chehron ki hijrat dekhte rahna
guzar chukne pe bhi wo sham-e-rahlat dekhte rahna
dhanak ki barishen barfab shahron par nahin hotin
yahan phulon ka rasta umr bhar mat dekhte rahna
kitabon ki tahon mein DhunDhna na-dida ashya ka
palaT kar phir koi KHali ibarat dekhte rahna
hujum-e-shahr ke sannaTe mein gum-sum wo Tila sa
usi ko aate jate be-zarurat dekhte rahna
jise main chhu nahin sakta dikhai kyun wo deta hai
farishton jaisi bas meri ibaadat dekhte rahna
'musawwir' kuchh na kahne ka ye dukh bhi saKHt zalim hai
talab kar legi lafzon ki adalat dekhte rahna
