bikhra ke hum ghubar sa wahm-o-KHayal par
bikhrā ke ham ġhubār sā vahm-o-ḳhayāl par
pattoñ kī tarah Dolte phirte haiñ maal par
apne hī paañv bas meñ nahīñ aur yaar log
tanqīd kar rahe haiñ sitāroñ kī chaal par
ye maal āñchaloñ kā subuksār ābshār
sad-mauj-e-rañg-o-nūr hai lamhoñ kī faal par
bahte hujūm shaam ke lamhoñ kā sail ham
raqsāñ haiñ zehan jhūmte qadmoñ ke taal par
uljhe hue haiñ bahs meñ vāraftagān-e-shām
hai guftugū adab ke urūj-o-zavāl par
tai rah-guzār-e-pā hai na mauzū'-e-guftugū
whiskey ke dhuñdlake haiñ javāb-o-savāl par
'ġhālib' kā zikr thā abhī 'shelley' par aa ga.e
pahuñche 'mallarme' se jalāl-o-jamāl par
jhoñkoñ ke saath saath koī tā.er-e-ḳhayāl
aa baiThtā hai zehn kī shādāb Daal par
gard-e-safar se pyaar hai manzil kā ġham nahīñ
yuuñ chal rahe haiñ rahguzar-e-māh-o-sāl par
chhā.e hue haiñ soch ke saa.e kahīñ kahīñ
chhiTkī huī hai chāñdnī bām-e-ḳhayāl par
har saaya apnī apnī guphā meñ luḌhak gayā
ham log ghūmte rahe sunsān maal par
bikhra ke hum ghubar sa wahm-o-KHayal par
patton ki tarah Dolte phirte hain mal par
apne hi panw bas mein nahin aur yar log
tanqid kar rahe hain sitaron ki chaal par
ye mal aanchalon ka subuksar aabshaar
sad-mauj-e-rang-o-nur hai lamhon ki fal par
bahte hujum sham ke lamhon ka sail hum
raqsan hain zehan jhumte qadmon ke tal par
uljhe hue hain bahs mein waraftagan-e-sham
hai guftugu adab ke uruj-o-zawal par
tai rah-guzar-e-pa hai na mauzu'-e-guftugu
whiskey ke dhundlake hain jawab-o-sawal par
'ghaalib' ka zikr tha abhi 'shelley' par aa gae
pahunche 'mallarme' se jalal-o-jamal par
jhonkon ke sath sath koi taer-e-KHayal
aa baiThta hai zehn ki shadab Dal par
gard-e-safar se pyar hai manzil ka gham nahin
yun chal rahe hain rahguzar-e-mah-o-sal par
chhae hue hain soch ke sae kahin kahin
chhiTki hui hai chandni baam-e-KHayal par
har saya apni apni gupha mein luDhak gaya
hum log ghumte rahe sunsan mal par
