ghubar-e-ehsas-o-pesh-o-pas ki agar ye barik tah haTaen
ġhubār-e-ehsās-o-pesh-o-pas kī agar ye bārīk tah haTā.eñ
to ek pal meñ na jaane kitne zamānoñ ke aks thartharā.eñ
ḳhizāñ agar apnā ḳhuuñ na baḳhshe to fasl-e-gul kaise surḳh-rū ho
sukūt apnā jigar na chīre to kaise jhankār deñ sadā.eñ
bikhar chale haiñ bikhar chuke haiñ gul-e-ibārat ke barg-reze
kitāb-e-jāñ kī shahādatoñ kā varaq varaq le ga.iiñ havā.eñ
huā kī be-rañg taḳhtiyoñ par sadā kī tahrīr kyā ubhāreñ
sukūt ke be-nishāñ khañDar meñ charāġh-e-āvāz kyā jalā.eñ
ye shauq kī be-nasīb kaliyāñ ye dard ke be-ḳhizāñ shagūfe
tumhāre qadmoñ meñ rakh na paa.e to kis kī chaukhaT pe jā girā.eñ
havā kī talvār chal rahī ho to shāḳh-e-ummīd kyā sambhāleñ
badan kī dīvār gir rahī ho to dil kī dīvār kyā bachā.eñ
tamāshā-gāh-e-tarab-nishāñ meñ sabhī ko lāzim hai muskurānā
jo ġham-faroshī na karnā chāheñ vahī yahāñ baḳht āzmā.eñ
muhīb rātoñ meñ Dagmagāte dukhī badan ke musāfiroñ ko
akele-pan meñ Darā rahī hai samay ke jañgal kī saa.eñ saa.eñ
tamām alfāz mar chuke haiñ tamām ahbāb jā chuke haiñ
ga.ī rutoñ ke sitam kā qissa sunā.eñ kaise kise sunā.eñ
ghubar-e-ehsas-o-pesh-o-pas ki agar ye barik tah haTaen
to ek pal mein na jaane kitne zamanon ke aks thartharaen
KHizan agar apna KHun na baKHshe to fasl-e-gul kaise surKH-ru ho
sukut apna jigar na chire to kaise jhankar den sadaen
bikhar chale hain bikhar chuke hain gul-e-ibarat ke barg-reze
kitab-e-jaan ki shahadaton ka waraq waraq le gain hawaen
hua ki be-rang taKHtiyon par sada ki tahrir kya ubhaaren
sukut ke be-nishan khanDar mein charagh-e-awaz kya jalaen
ye shauq ki be-nasib kaliyan ye dard ke be-KHizan shagufe
tumhaare qadmon mein rakh na pae to kis ki chaukhaT pe ja giraen
hawa ki talwar chal rahi ho to shaKH-e-ummid kya sambhaalen
badan ki diwar gir rahi ho to dil ki diwar kya bachaen
tamasha-gah-e-tarab-nishan mein sabhi ko lazim hai muskurana
jo gham-faroshi na karna chahen wahi yahan baKHt aazmaen
muhib raaton mein Dagmagate dukhi badan ke musafiron ko
akele-pan mein Dara rahi hai samay ke jangal ki saen saen
tamam alfaz mar chuke hain tamam ahbab ja chuke hain
gai ruton ke sitam ka qissa sunaen kaise kise sunaen
