dil ki basti pe kisi dard ka saya bhi nahin
dil kī bastī pe kisī dard kā saaya bhī nahīñ
aisā vīrānī kā mausam kabhī aayā bhī nahīñ
ham kisī aur hī aalam meñ rahā karte haiñ
ahl-e-duniyā ne jahāñ aake satāyā bhī nahīñ
ham pe is ālam-e-tāza meñ guzartī kyā hai
tum ne pūchhā bhī nahīñ ham ne batāyā bhī nahīñ
kab se huuñ ġharq kisī jhiil kī gahrā.ī meñ
rāz-e-ayyām magar aql ne paayā bhī nahīñ
be-zamīnī kā ye dukh aur zamīñ bhī apnī
bebasī aisī ki nukta ye uThāyā bhī nahīñ
be-jihat uThte hue Thokareñ khāte ye qadam
rāhbar merā mujhe raah pe laayā bhī nahīñ
us ne hamdardī ke paimāñ to bahut bāñdhe the
aa paḌī hai to mirā haath baTāyā bhī nahīñ
dil kī dīvāroñ se lipTī hai kisī shaam kī yaad
jaane vaalā to kabhī lauT ke aayā bhī nahīñ
sard-mehrī ki jigar chhalnī kiye detī hai
us ne yuuñ dekhne meñ haath chhuḌāyā bhī nahīñ
us se ummīd-e-vafā bāñdh rakhī hai 'shāhid'
jis ne ye baar mohabbat kā uThāyā bhī nahīñ
dil ki basti pe kisi dard ka saya bhi nahin
aisa virani ka mausam kabhi aaya bhi nahin
hum kisi aur hi aalam mein raha karte hain
ahl-e-duniya ne jahan aake sataya bhi nahin
hum pe is aalam-e-taza mein guzarti kya hai
tum ne puchha bhi nahin hum ne bataya bhi nahin
kab se hun gharq kisi jhil ki gahrai mein
raaz-e-ayyam magar aql ne paya bhi nahin
be-zamini ka ye dukh aur zamin bhi apni
bebasi aisi ki nukta ye uThaya bhi nahin
be-jihat uThte hue Thokaren khate ye qadam
rahbar mera mujhe rah pe laya bhi nahin
us ne hamdardi ke paiman to bahut bandhe the
aa paDi hai to mera hath baTaya bhi nahin
dil ki diwaron se lipTi hai kisi sham ki yaad
jaane wala to kabhi lauT ke aaya bhi nahin
sard-mehri ki jigar chhalni kiye deti hai
us ne yun dekhne mein hath chhuDaya bhi nahin
us se ummid-e-wafa bandh rakhi hai 'shahid'
jis ne ye bar mohabbat ka uThaya bhi nahin
