bimar hain to ab dam-e-isa kahan se aae
bīmār haiñ to ab dam-e-īsā kahāñ se aa.e
is dil meñ dard-e-shauq-o-tamannā kahāñ se aa.e
bekār sharh-e-lafz-o-ma.ānī se fā.eda
jab tū nahīñ to shahr meñ tujh sā kahāñ se aa.e
har chashm sañg-e-kizb-o-adāvat se surḳh hai
ab aadmī ko zindagī karnā kahāñ se aa.e
vahshat havas kī chaaT ga.ī ḳhāk-e-jism ko
be-dar gharoñ meñ shakl kā saaya kahāñ se aa.e
jaḌ se ukhaḌ ga.e to badaltī rutoñ se kyā
be-āb ā.inoñ meñ sarāpā kahāñ se aa.e
sāyoñ pe e'timād se uktā gayā hai jī
tūfāñ meñ zindagī kā bharosa kahāñ se aa.e
ġham ke thapeḌe le ga.e nāgan se lambe baal
rātoñ meñ jañgaloñ kā vo saaya kahāñ se aa.e
'nāhīd' faishanoñ ne chhupā.e haiñ aib bhī
chashme na hoñ to aañkh kā parda kahāñ se aa.e
bimar hain to ab dam-e-isa kahan se aae
is dil mein dard-e-shauq-o-tamanna kahan se aae
bekar sharh-e-lafz-o-maani se faeda
jab tu nahin to shahr mein tujh sa kahan se aae
har chashm sang-e-kizb-o-adawat se surKH hai
ab aadmi ko zindagi karna kahan se aae
wahshat hawas ki chaT gai KHak-e-jism ko
be-dar gharon mein shakl ka saya kahan se aae
jaD se ukhaD gae to badalti ruton se kya
be-ab aainon mein sarapa kahan se aae
sayon pe e'timad se ukta gaya hai ji
tufan mein zindagi ka bharosa kahan se aae
gham ke thapeDe le gae nagan se lambe baal
raaton mein jangalon ka wo saya kahan se aae
'nahid' faishanon ne chhupae hain aib bhi
chashme na hon to aankh ka parda kahan se aae
