bas ek jahan-e-tahayyur se aane wala hai
bas ik jahān-e-tahayyur se aane vaalā hai
vo ajnabī mujhe apnā banāne vaalā hai
gulāb sañg kī sūrat dikhāne vaalā hai
kahāñ kahāñ vo mujhe āzmāne vaalā hai
koī to dekhne vaalā hai merī āñkhoñ se
koī to hai jo tamāsha dikhāne vaalā hai
ye chāñd aur sitāre to ik bahāna haiñ
kuchh aur hai jo yahāñ jagmagāne vaalā hai
har ek jism yahāñ ruuh kī alāmat hai
ye regzār bhī naġhma sunāne vaalā hai
bas ik savāl kī taḳhlīq hai bashar jaise
kahāñ se aayā hai kis or jaane vaalā hai
use ḳhabar hai kahāñ raushnī kā māḳhaz hai
vo tīrgī meñ diloñ ko jalāne vaalā hai
amiir us kī amānat uThā nahīñ saktā
faqīr asal meñ us kā ḳhazāne vaalā hai
vo ek pyaas kā lamha jo mere andar hai
kabhī kabhī to samundar luTāne vaalā hai
vo ḳhāksār ko detā hai phuul hisse meñ
vo sang-zār meñ dariyā bahāne vaalā hai
bahut aziiz hai zer-o-zabar kā khel use
bujhā bujhā ke tamannā jagāne vaalā hai
vo ek gauhar-e-yaktā hai mere sāgar meñ
vo ek ashk ki āñkhoñ meñ aane vaalā hai
samar ko bāñdh ke rakhtā hai vo daraḳhtoñ par
jo pak gayā use nīche girāne vaalā hai
vo apne aap hī ghar lauT aa.egā 'ahmad'
kisī ko kaun hamesha bulāne vaalā hai
bas ek jahan-e-tahayyur se aane wala hai
wo ajnabi mujhe apna banane wala hai
gulab sang ki surat dikhane wala hai
kahan kahan wo mujhe aazmane wala hai
koi to dekhne wala hai meri aankhon se
koi to hai jo tamasha dikhane wala hai
ye chand aur sitare to ek bahana hain
kuchh aur hai jo yahan jagmagane wala hai
har ek jism yahan ruh ki alamat hai
ye regzar bhi naghma sunane wala hai
bas ek sawal ki taKHliq hai bashar jaise
kahan se aaya hai kis or jaane wala hai
use KHabar hai kahan raushni ka maKHaz hai
wo tirgi mein dilon ko jalane wala hai
amir us ki amanat uTha nahin sakta
faqir asal mein us ka KHazane wala hai
wo ek pyas ka lamha jo mere andar hai
kabhi kabhi to samundar luTane wala hai
wo KHaksar ko deta hai phul hisse mein
wo sang-zar mein dariya bahane wala hai
bahut aziz hai zer-o-zabar ka khel use
bujha bujha ke tamanna jagane wala hai
wo ek gauhar-e-yakta hai mere sagar mein
wo ek ashk ki aankhon mein aane wala hai
samar ko bandh ke rakhta hai wo daraKHton par
jo pak gaya use niche girane wala hai
wo apne aap hi ghar lauT aaega 'ahmad'
kisi ko kaun hamesha bulane wala hai
