bas ik nigāh-e-karam hai kaafī agar unheñ pesh-o-pas nahīñ hai
zahe tamannā ki merī fitrat asīr-e-hirs-o-havas nahīñ hai
nazar se sayyād duur ho jā yahāñ tirā mujh pe bas nahīñ hai
chaman ko barbād karne vaale ye āshiyāñ hai qafas nahīñ hai
kisī ke jalve taḌap rahe haiñ hudūd-e-hosh-o-ḳhirad se aage
hudūd-e-hosh-o-ḳhirad se aage nigāh kī dastaras nahīñ hai
jahāñ kī nairañgiyoñ se yaksar badal ga.ī āshiyāñ kī sūrat
qafas samajhtī haiñ jin ko nazreñ vo dar-haqīqat qafas nahīñ hai
kahāñ ke naale kahāñ kī aaheñ jamī haiñ un kī taraf nigāheñ
kuchh is qadar mahv-e-yād huuñ maiñ ki fursat-e-yak-nafas nahīñ hai
qusūr hai ishrat-e-guzishta kā husn-e-tāsīr allāh allāh
vahī fazā.eñ vahī havā.eñ chaman se kuchh kam qafas nahīñ hai
kisī kī be-e'tinā.iyoñ ne badal hī Daalā nizām-e-gulshan
jo baat pahle bahār meñ thī vo baat ab ke baras nahīñ hai
ye bū-e-sumbul ye ḳhanda-e-gul aur aah ye dukh bharī sadā.eñ
qafas ke andar chaman hai shāyad chaman ke andar qafas nahīñ hai
na hosh-e-ḳhalvat na fikr-e-mahfil ayaañ ho ab kis pe hālat-e-dil
maiñ aap hī apnā ham-nafas huuñ mirā koī ham-nafas nahīñ hai
kareñ bhī kyā shikva-e-zamāna kaheñ bhī kyā dard kā fasāna
jahāñ meñ haiñ laakh dushman-e-jāñ koī masīhā-nafas nahīñ hai
sunī haiñ ahl-e-junūñ ne aksar ḳhamoshi-e-marg kī sadā.eñ
sunā ye thā kārvān-e-hastī rahīn-e-bāñg-e-jaras nahīñ hai
chaman kī āzādiyāñ mo.aḳhḳhar tasavvur-e-āshiyāñ muqaddam
ġham-e-asīrī hai nā-mukammal agar ġham-e-ḳhār-o-ḳhas nahīñ hai
na kar mujhe sharmsār nāseh maiñ dil se majbūr huuñ ki jis kā
hai yuuñ to kaun-o-makāñ pe qaabū magar mohabbat pe bas nahīñ hai
kahāñ vo ummīd-e-āmad-āmad kahāñ ye īfā-e-ahd-e-fardā
jab e'tibār-e-nazar na thā kuchh ab e'tibār-e-nafas nahīñ hai
vahī haiñ naġhme vahī haiñ naale sun ai mujhe bhuul jaane vaale
tirī samā.at se duur haiñ ye jabhī to nāloñ meñ ras nahīñ hai
'shakīl' duniyā meñ jis ko dekhā kuchh us kī duniyā hī aur dekhī
hazār naqqād-e-zindagī haiñ magar koī nukta-ras nahīñ hai
bas ek nigah-e-karam hai kafi agar unhen pesh-o-pas nahin hai
zahe tamanna ki meri fitrat asir-e-hirs-o-hawas nahin hai
nazar se sayyaad dur ho ja yahan tera mujh pe bas nahin hai
chaman ko barbaad karne wale ye aashiyan hai qafas nahin hai
kisi ke jalwe taDap rahe hain hudud-e-hosh-o-KHirad se aage
hudud-e-hosh-o-KHirad se aage nigah ki dastaras nahin hai
jahan ki nairangiyon se yaksar badal gai aashiyan ki surat
qafas samajhti hain jin ko nazren wo dar-haqiqat qafas nahin hai
kahan ke nale kahan ki aahen jami hain un ki taraf nigahen
kuchh is qadar mahw-e-yaad hun main ki fursat-e-yak-nafas nahin hai
qusur hai ishrat-e-guzishta ka husn-e-tasir allah allah
wahi fazaen wahi hawaen chaman se kuchh kam qafas nahin hai
kisi ki be-e'tinaiyon ne badal hi Dala nizam-e-gulshan
jo baat pahle bahaar mein thi wo baat ab ke baras nahin hai
ye bu-e-sumbul ye KHanda-e-gul aur aah ye dukh bhari sadaen
qafas ke andar chaman hai shayad chaman ke andar qafas nahin hai
na hosh-e-KHalwat na fikr-e-mahfil ayan ho ab kis pe haalat-e-dil
main aap hi apna ham-nafas hun mera koi ham-nafas nahin hai
karen bhi kya shikwa-e-zamana kahen bhi kya dard ka fasana
jahan mein hain lakh dushman-e-jaan koi masiha-nafas nahin hai
suni hain ahl-e-junun ne aksar KHamoshi-e-marg ki sadaen
suna ye tha karwan-e-hasti rahin-e-bang-e-jaras nahin hai
chaman ki aazadiyan moaKHKHar tasawwur-e-ashiyan muqaddam
gham-e-asiri hai na-mukammal agar gham-e-KHar-o-KHas nahin hai
na kar mujhe sharmsar naseh main dil se majbur hun ki jis ka
hai yun to kaun-o-makan pe qabu magar mohabbat pe bas nahin hai
kahan wo ummid-e-amad-amad kahan ye ifa-e-ahd-e-farda
jab e'tibar-e-nazar na tha kuchh ab e'tibar-e-nafas nahin hai
wahi hain naghme wahi hain nale sun ai mujhe bhul jaane wale
teri samaat se dur hain ye jabhi to nalon mein ras nahin hai
'shakil' duniya mein jis ko dekha kuchh us ki duniya hi aur dekhi
hazar naqqad-e-zindagi hain magar koi nukta-ras nahin hai
