gham ka sahra na mila dard ka dariya na mila
ġham kā sahrā na milā dard kā dariyā na milā
ham ne marnā bhī jo chāhā to vasīla na milā
muddatoñ baa'd jo ā.īne meñ jhāñkā ham ne
itne chehre the vahāñ apnā hī chehra na milā
qatl kar ke vo ġhanīmoñ ko jo vāpas aa.e
apne hī ghar meñ unheñ koī shanāsā na milā
ham bhī jā nikle the sūraj ke nagar meñ ik din
vo añdherā thā vahāñ apnā bhī saaya na milā
tishna-lab yuuñ to zamāne meñ kabhī ham na rahe
pyaas jo dil kī bujhā detā vo dariyā na milā
mil ga.e ham ko sanam-ḳhānoñ meñ kitne hī ḳhudā
DhūñDne par koī banda hī ḳhudā kā na milā
aap ke shahr meñ peḌoñ kā nahīñ koī shumār
do ghaḌī rukne ko lekin kahīñ saaya na milā
sabz pattoñ se milā ham ko bahāroñ kā surāġh
shāḳh-e-nāzuk pe magar koī shagūfa na milā
mustahaq ham tirī rahmat ke na hone paa.e
terī duniyā meñ koī 'uzr ḳhatā kā na milā
ḳhud-numā.ī ke bhī is daur meñ ham ko 'sāhir'
koī qātil na milā koī masīhā na milā
gham ka sahra na mila dard ka dariya na mila
hum ne marna bhi jo chaha to wasila na mila
muddaton ba'd jo aaine mein jhanka hum ne
itne chehre the wahan apna hi chehra na mila
qatl kar ke wo ghanimon ko jo wapas aae
apne hi ghar mein unhen koi shanasa na mila
hum bhi ja nikle the suraj ke nagar mein ek din
wo andhera tha wahan apna bhi saya na mila
tishna-lab yun to zamane mein kabhi hum na rahe
pyas jo dil ki bujha deta wo dariya na mila
mil gae hum ko sanam-KHanon mein kitne hi KHuda
DhunDne par koi banda hi KHuda ka na mila
aap ke shahr mein peDon ka nahin koi shumar
do ghaDi rukne ko lekin kahin saya na mila
sabz patton se mila hum ko bahaaron ka suragh
shaKH-e-nazuk pe magar koi shagufa na mila
mustahaq hum teri rahmat ke na hone pae
teri duniya mein koi 'uzr KHata ka na mila
KHud-numai ke bhi is daur mein hum ko 'sahir'
koi qatil na mila koi masiha na mila
