hum soch rahe the un ko abhi wo parda uTha kar aa bhi gae

ham soch rahe the un ko abhī vo parda uThā kar aa bhī ga.e

vo phuul mohabbat ke ham par az-rāh-e-karam barsā bhī ga.e

aa.e the ilāj-e-dil karne fitrat ke mutābiq kaam kiyā

kuchh aur baḌhāyā dard mirā vo aur mujhe taḌpā bhī ga.e

ummīd dilā.ī saaqī ne aa.egī ghaTā to dekheñge

qismat ne hamārā saath diyā be-mausam bādal chhā bhī ga.e

kuchh naam liye kuchh dard kahe ruḳhsat hue le kar merā sukūñ

afsāne sunā.e mujh ko na.e vo aag na.ī bhaḌkā bhī ga.e

qurbat meñ bahut se imkāñ haiñ ye baat samajh meñ aa.ī hameñ

hālāt se vo majbūr hue hālāt se dhokā khā bhī ga.e

maiñ ne to 'suhail' apne dil kī mauhūm tamannā zāhir kī

ruḳhsār pe bijlī sī chamkī is baat pe vo iThlā bhī ga.e

hum soch rahe the un ko abhi wo parda uTha kar aa bhi gae

wo phul mohabbat ke hum par az-rah-e-karam barsa bhi gae

aae the ilaj-e-dil karne fitrat ke mutabiq kaam kiya

kuchh aur baDhaya dard mera wo aur mujhe taDpa bhi gae

ummid dilai saqi ne aaegi ghaTa to dekhenge

qismat ne hamara sath diya be-mausam baadal chha bhi gae

kuchh nam liye kuchh dard kahe ruKHsat hue le kar mera sukun

afsane sunae mujh ko nae wo aag nai bhaDka bhi gae

qurbat mein bahut se imkan hain ye baat samajh mein aai hamein

haalat se wo majbur hue haalat se dhoka kha bhi gae

main ne to 'suhail' apne dil ki mauhum tamanna zahir ki

ruKHsar pe bijli si chamki is baat pe wo iThla bhi gae
