be-karan samjha tha KHud ko kaise na-danon mein tha
be-karāñ samjhā thā ḳhud ko kaise nā-dānoñ meñ thā
āsmāñ bikhrā to har-sū shabnamī dānoñ meñ thā
maiñ ne jis ziine pe rakkhā pā to mujh ko Das gayā
jab bhī daana maiñ ne pheñkā saañp ke ḳhānoñ meñ thā
phir koī mauj-e-balā kaise mirā sar le ga.ī
ai ḳhudā mere ḳhudā tū bhī nigahbānoñ meñ thā
ik lahū kī buuñd thī lekin ka.ī āñkhoñ meñ thī
ek harf-e-mo'tabar thā aur ka.ī ma.anoñ meñ thā
sochte haiñ kis tarah is shahr meñ jiite rahe
āstīñ meñ saañp the aur zahr paimānoñ meñ thā
jaane kaisī thī 'mujībī' aag us ke lams kī
jism kā sonā pighal kar sab mirī rānoñ meñ thā
be-karan samjha tha KHud ko kaise na-danon mein tha
aasman bikhra to har-su shabnami danon mein tha
main ne jis zine pe rakkha pa to mujh ko Das gaya
jab bhi dana main ne phenka sanp ke KHanon mein tha
phir koi mauj-e-bala kaise mera sar le gai
ai KHuda mere KHuda tu bhi nigahbanon mein tha
ek lahu ki bund thi lekin kai aankhon mein thi
ek harf-e-mo'tabar tha aur kai manon mein tha
sochte hain kis tarah is shahr mein jite rahe
aastin mein sanp the aur zahr paimanon mein tha
jaane kaisi thi 'mujibi' aag us ke lams ki
jism ka sona pighal kar sab meri ranon mein tha
