humne dil uske tain nazr guzara apna
ham ne dil us ke ta.iiñ nazr guzārā apnā
us ne samjhā na sar-e-bazm ishārā apnā
kyā pukārūñ ki sadā bhī na vahāñ jā.egī
jaane kis des gayā yaar vo pyārā apnā
le gayā duur use ḳhvāb-e-adam kā afsūñ
niiñd se phir na uThā anjuman-ārā apnā
umr ke saath judā hote chale jā.eñge yaar
kam nahīñ hogā kisī taur ḳhasārā apnā
lauT kar aa.e to bastī hai na tālāb na baaġh
ham yahīñ chhoḌ ga.e the vo nazārā apnā
shaam hote hī bhaTakte the use dekhne ko
usī tārīk galī meñ thā sitārā apnā
ġham hue aise ki aatā hī nahīñ koī javāb
naam le le ke bahut ham ne pukārā apnā
ye jo galiyāñ haiñ mire shahr kī haiñ merī rafīq
unhī galiyoñ meñ bahut vaqt guzārā apnā
ham vo bīmār-e-anā haiñ ki hue jis se ḳhafā
us ko chehra bhī dikhāyā na dobārā apnā
bārhā pesh huā ḳhil.at-e-shāhī ham ko
ham ne malbūs-e-gadā.ī na utārā apnā
kyā ḳhabar ban ga.ī kis tarah ġhazal kī sūrat
ham ne to dard hī kāġhaz pe utārā apnā
yā-alī kahne se haT jaate haiñ raste se pahāḌ
ik yahī naam hai mushkil meñ sahārā apnā
hum ne dil us ke tain nazr guzara apna
us ne samjha na sar-e-bazm ishaara apna
kya pukarun ki sada bhi na wahan jaegi
jaane kis des gaya yar wo pyara apna
le gaya dur use KHwab-e-adam ka afsun
nind se phir na uTha anjuman-ara apna
umr ke sath juda hote chale jaenge yar
kam nahin hoga kisi taur KHasara apna
lauT kar aae to basti hai na talab na bagh
hum yahin chhoD gae the wo nazara apna
sham hote hi bhaTakte the use dekhne ko
usi tarik gali mein tha sitara apna
gham hue aise ki aata hi nahin koi jawab
nam le le ke bahut hum ne pukara apna
ye jo galiyan hain mere shahr ki hain meri rafiq
unhi galiyon mein bahut waqt guzara apna
hum wo bimar-e-ana hain ki hue jis se KHafa
us ko chehra bhi dikhaya na dobara apna
barha pesh hua KHilat-e-shahi hum ko
hum ne malbus-e-gadai na utara apna
kya KHabar ban gai kis tarah ghazal ki surat
hum ne to dard hi kaghaz pe utara apna
ya-ali kahne se haT jate hain raste se pahaD
ek yahi nam hai mushkil mein sahaara apna
