ek-adh harif-e-gham-e-duniya bhi nahin tha
ek-ādh harīf-e-ġham-e-duniyā bhī nahīñ thā
arbāb-e-vafā meñ koī itnā bhī nahīñ thā
lab jalte haiñ mai-ḳhvāroñ ke siine nahīñ jalte
is darja ḳhunuk sho.ala-e-mīnā bhī nahīñ thā
ik us kā taġhāful hai vo yaad aa hī gayā hai
ik vāda-e-fardā hai vo bhūlā bhī nahīñ thā
kah sakte to ahvāl-e-jahāñ tum se hī kahte
tum se to kisī baat kā pardā bhī nahīñ thā
ab husn pe ḳhud us kā tasavvur bhī girāñ hai
pahle to girāñ ḳhvāb-e-zuleḳhā bhī nahīñ thā
pahle mirī vahshat ke ye andāz bhī kam the
pahle mujhe andāza-e-sahrā bhī nahīñ thā
ab ye hai ki thamtā huā dariyā hai tirī yaad
be-faiz ye dariyā kabhī aisā bhī nahīñ thā
achchhā to muravvat hī tirā bosa-e-lab hai
achchhā ye koī dil kā taqāzā bhī nahīñ thā
majnūñ ke sivā kis se uThī minnat-e-dīdār
āḳhir ruḳh-e-lailā thā tamāshā bhī nahīñ thā
ek-adh harif-e-gham-e-duniya bhi nahin tha
arbab-e-wafa mein koi itna bhi nahin tha
lab jalte hain mai-KHwaron ke sine nahin jalte
is darja KHunuk shoala-e-mina bhi nahin tha
ek us ka taghaful hai wo yaad aa hi gaya hai
ek wada-e-farda hai wo bhula bhi nahin tha
kah sakte to ahwal-e-jahan tum se hi kahte
tum se to kisi baat ka parda bhi nahin tha
ab husn pe KHud us ka tasawwur bhi giran hai
pahle to giran KHwab-e-zuleKHa bhi nahin tha
pahle meri wahshat ke ye andaz bhi kam the
pahle mujhe andaza-e-sahra bhi nahin tha
ab ye hai ki thamta hua dariya hai teri yaad
be-faiz ye dariya kabhi aisa bhi nahin tha
achchha to murawwat hi tera bosa-e-lab hai
achchha ye koi dil ka taqaza bhi nahin tha
majnun ke siwa kis se uThi minnat-e-didar
aaKHir ruKH-e-laila tha tamasha bhi nahin tha
