bazm-e-tanhai mein aks-e-shoala-paikar tha koi
bazm-e-tanhā.ī meñ aks-e-sho.ala-paikar thā koī
yā hamāre sāmne yādoñ kā lashkar thā koī
qurbatoñ ke ghaaT par sūkhī nadī sābit huā
fāsloñ ke dasht meñ gahrā samundar thā koī
us kī saarī iltijā.eñ hukm Thahrā.ī ga.iiñ
jis ghaḌī dekhā gayā jaame se bāhar thā koī
devtā hai ab vahī mandir ke aasan par jamā
Thokareñ khātā huā raste kā patthar thā koī
us kī ḳhvāhish thī ki sat.h-e-āb par chal kar dikhā.e
kyā muqaddar thā ki dariyā kā muqaddar thā koī
karb apne baune-pan kā jheltā huuñ aaj tak
soch ubhrī thī bujhī mere barābar thā koī
sāmne us ke agar sūraj nahīñ thā 'ehtirām'
paanī paanī āḳhirash kyuuñ sho.ala-paikar thā koī
bazm-e-tanhai mein aks-e-shoala-paikar tha koi
ya hamare samne yaadon ka lashkar tha koi
qurbaton ke ghaT par sukhi nadi sabit hua
faslon ke dasht mein gahra samundar tha koi
us ki sari iltijaen hukm Thahrai gain
jis ghaDi dekha gaya jame se bahar tha koi
dewta hai ab wahi mandir ke aasan par jama
Thokaren khata hua raste ka patthar tha koi
us ki KHwahish thi ki sath-e-ab par chal kar dikhae
kya muqaddar tha ki dariya ka muqaddar tha koi
karb apne baune-pan ka jhelta hun aaj tak
soch ubhri thi bujhi mere barabar tha koi
samne us ke agar suraj nahin tha 'ehtiram'
pani pani aaKHirash kyun shoala-paikar tha koi
