dil us se laga jis se ruTha bhi nahin jata
dil us se lagā jis se rūThā bhī nahīñ jaatā
kaam us se paḌā jis ko chhoḌā bhī nahīñ jaatā
din raat taḌaptā huuñ ab jis kī judā.ī meñ
vo sāmne aa.e to dekhā bhī nahīñ jaatā
manzil pe pahuñchne kī ummīd bañdhe kaise
paañv bhī nahīñ uThte rasta bhī nahīñ jaatā
ye kaun sī bastī hai ye kaun sā mausam hai
sochā bhī nahīñ jaatā bolā bhī nahīñ jaatā
añgāroñ kī manzil meñ zanjīr-bapā haiñ ham
Thahrā bhī nahīñ jaatā bhāgā bhī nahīñ jaatā
is martaba chhā.ī hai kuchh aisī ghaTā jis se
khulnā bhī nahīñ hotā barsā bhī nahīñ jaatā
har haal meñ itne bhī be-bas na hue the ham
daldal bhī nahīñ lekin niklā bhī nahīñ jaatā
mar jaate the ġhairoñ ke kāñTā bhī jo chubhtā thā
ḳhud qatl hue lekin royā bhī nahīñ jaatā
kāfir hoñ jo hasrat ho jiine kī magar 'shohrat'
is haal meñ yāroñ ko chhoḌā bhī nahīñ jaatā
dil us se laga jis se ruTha bhi nahin jata
kaam us se paDa jis ko chhoDa bhi nahin jata
din raat taDapta hun ab jis ki judai mein
wo samne aae to dekha bhi nahin jata
manzil pe pahunchne ki ummid bandhe kaise
panw bhi nahin uThte rasta bhi nahin jata
ye kaun si basti hai ye kaun sa mausam hai
socha bhi nahin jata bola bhi nahin jata
angaron ki manzil mein zanjir-bapa hain hum
Thahra bhi nahin jata bhaga bhi nahin jata
is martaba chhai hai kuchh aisi ghaTa jis se
khulna bhi nahin hota barsa bhi nahin jata
har haal mein itne bhi be-bas na hue the hum
daldal bhi nahin lekin nikla bhi nahin jata
mar jate the ghairon ke kanTa bhi jo chubhta tha
KHud qatl hue lekin roya bhi nahin jata
kafir hon jo hasrat ho jine ki magar 'shohrat'
is haal mein yaron ko chhoDa bhi nahin jata
