dhaDkanen ban ke jo sine mein raha karta tha
dhaḌkaneñ ban ke jo siine meñ rahā kartā thā
kyā ajab shaḳhs thā jo mujh meñ jiyā kartā thā
nāḳhun-e-vaqt ne har naqsh khurach Daalā hai
merā chehra mirī pahchān huā kartā thā
kaa.ī hoñToñ pe hama-vaqt jamī rahtī thī
ek dariyā mirī āñkhoñ meñ thamā kartā thā
ik talātum thā tah-e-āb sukūt-e-dariyā
dil-e-ḳhāmosh meñ ik shor rahā kartā thā
murta.ish hotā thā jab ḳhāma-e-añgusht kabhī
kyā kyā qirtās-e-ḳhalā par maiñ likhā kartā thā
zehn-o-dil is liye sargarm-e-amal rahte the
rahnumā.ī mirī har vaqt ḳhudā kartā thā
ābla-pā.iyāñ kartī thiiñ agar dil-shikanī
hausla phir rah-e-ummīd ko vā kartā thā
ho gayā nazr bil-āḳhir mirī haq-goī kī
ek sar jo kabhī shānoñ pe sajā kartā thā
kyā huā aaj ai 'sālim' vo shu.ūr-e-bāliġh
jo qalam-zad tirī tahrīr kiyā kartā thā
dhaDkanen ban ke jo sine mein raha karta tha
kya ajab shaKHs tha jo mujh mein jiya karta tha
naKHun-e-waqt ne har naqsh khurach Dala hai
mera chehra meri pahchan hua karta tha
kai honTon pe hama-waqt jami rahti thi
ek dariya meri aankhon mein thama karta tha
ek talatum tha tah-e-ab sukut-e-dariya
dil-e-KHamosh mein ek shor raha karta tha
murtaish hota tha jab KHama-e-angusht kabhi
kya kya qirtas-e-KHala par main likha karta tha
zehn-o-dil is liye sargarm-e-amal rahte the
rahnumai meri har waqt KHuda karta tha
aabla-paiyan karti thin agar dil-shikani
hausla phir rah-e-ummid ko wa karta tha
ho gaya nazr bil-aKHir meri haq-goi ki
ek sar jo kabhi shanon pe saja karta tha
kya hua aaj ai 'salim' wo shuur-e-baaligh
jo qalam-zad teri tahrir kiya karta tha
