hath mein jab tak qalam tha tajribe likhte rahe
haath meñ jab tak qalam thā tajribe likhte rahe
ham zamīñ par āsmāñ ke mashvare likhte rahe
umr kitnī kaT ga.ī hijrat meñ sochā hī nahīñ
chehre kī saarī lakīreñ aa.ine likhte rahe
mausamoñ kī dastakeñ chīḳhoñ meñ dab kar rah ga.iiñ
giit kī farmā.isheñ thiiñ marsiye likhte rahe
tum na paḌhnā vo safar-nāma jo nok-e-ḳhār par
kū-ba-kū sahrā-ba-sahrā aable likhte rahe
hādse jin par mo.arriḳh kī zabāñ khultī nahīñ
shahr kī dīvār par ham ḳhuun se likhte rahe
kār-nāma aur kyā karte ye naqqādān-e-asr
nok-e-ḳhanjar se ġhazal par hāshiye likhte rahe
kaifiyat shāḳh-e-nihāl-e-ġham kī 'ishrat' sub.h-o-shām
āte-jāte mausamoñ ke qāfile likhte rahe
hath mein jab tak qalam tha tajribe likhte rahe
hum zamin par aasman ke mashware likhte rahe
umr kitni kaT gai hijrat mein socha hi nahin
chehre ki sari lakiren aaine likhte rahe
mausamon ki dastaken chiKHon mein dab kar rah gain
git ki farmaishen thin marsiye likhte rahe
tum na paDhna wo safar-nama jo nok-e-KHar par
ku-ba-ku sahra-ba-sahra aable likhte rahe
hadse jin par moarriKH ki zaban khulti nahin
shahr ki diwar par hum KHun se likhte rahe
kar-nama aur kya karte ye naqqadan-e-asr
nok-e-KHanjar se ghazal par hashiye likhte rahe
kaifiyat shaKH-e-nihaal-e-gham ki 'ishrat' subh-o-sham
aate-jate mausamon ke qafile likhte rahe
