bujh gae shoale dhuan aankhon ko pani de gaya
bujh ga.e sho.ale dhuāñ āñkhoñ ko paanī de gayā
ye achānak moḌ dariyā ko ravānī de gayā
ab to us kī dhuup meñ jaltā hai merā tan-badan
kyā huā vo mehr jo sub.heñ suhānī de gayā
jī meñ zinda ho ga.iiñ kyā ḳhvāhisheñ bisrī huī
phir koī yūsuf zuleḳhā ko javānī de gayā
phir huā ehsās yuuñ mujh ko ki maiñ ik naqsh huuñ
kaun tasvīroñ ko hukm-e-be-zabānī de gayā
peḌ nañge ho ga.e rastoñ pe patte haiñ abhī
haañ magar tūfān kuchh yādeñ nishānī de gayā
maiñ subuk-sar thā havāoñ kī tarah par ab nahīñ
yak-ba-yak ruknā tabī.at ko girānī de gayā
boltā chehra jhukī āñkheñ chhupā mat haath se
terā chup rahnā mujhe kyā kyā ma.ānī de gayā
jaise mere pair mauj-e-vāpsīñ par jam ga.e
har nayā lamha koī sūrat purānī de gayā
ai lab-e-goyā na chhin jaa.e kahīñ ye zā.iqa
chāTiye vo zaḳhm jo sho.ala-bayānī de gayā
maiñ ne 'shāhid' aa.ine meñ apnī sūrat dekh lī
ye zarā sā vāqi.a puurī kahānī de gayā
bujh gae shoale dhuan aankhon ko pani de gaya
ye achanak moD dariya ko rawani de gaya
ab to us ki dhup mein jalta hai mera tan-badan
kya hua wo mehr jo subhen suhani de gaya
ji mein zinda ho gain kya KHwahishen bisri hui
phir koi yusuf zuleKHa ko jawani de gaya
phir hua ehsas yun mujh ko ki main ek naqsh hun
kaun taswiron ko hukm-e-be-zabani de gaya
peD nange ho gae raston pe patte hain abhi
han magar tufan kuchh yaaden nishani de gaya
main subuk-sar tha hawaon ki tarah par ab nahin
yak-ba-yak rukna tabiat ko girani de gaya
bolta chehra jhuki aankhen chhupa mat hath se
tera chup rahna mujhe kya kya maani de gaya
jaise mere pair mauj-e-wapsin par jam gae
har naya lamha koi surat purani de gaya
ai lab-e-goya na chhin jae kahin ye zaiqa
chaTiye wo zaKHm jo shoala-bayani de gaya
main ne 'shahid' aaine mein apni surat dekh li
ye zara sa waqia puri kahani de gaya
