hangam-e-shab-o-roz mein uljha hua kyun hun
hañgām-e-shab-o-roz meñ uljhā huā kyuuñ huuñ
dariyā huuñ to phir raah meñ Thahrā huā kyuuñ huuñ
kyuuñ merī jaḌeñ jā ke zamīñ se nahīñ miltīñ
gamle kī tarah sahn meñ rakkhā huā kyuuñ huuñ
is ghar ke makīnoñ kā ravayya bhī to dekhūñ
taz.īn-e-dar-o-bām meñ khoyā huā kyuuñ huuñ
girtī nahīñ kyuuñ mujh pe kisī zaḳhm kī shabnam
maiñ qāfila-e-dard se bachhḌā huā kyuuñ huuñ
āñkhoñ pe jo utrā na huā dil pe jo tahrīr
us ḳhvāb kī ta.abīr se sahmā huā kyuuñ huuñ
din bhar ke jhameloñ se bachā laayā thā ḳhud ko
shaam aate hī 'ashfāq' maiñ TuuTā huā kyuuñ huuñ
hangam-e-shab-o-roz mein uljha hua kyun hun
dariya hun to phir rah mein Thahra hua kyun hun
kyun meri jaDen ja ke zamin se nahin miltin
gamle ki tarah sahn mein rakkha hua kyun hun
is ghar ke makinon ka rawayya bhi to dekhun
tazin-e-dar-o-baam mein khoya hua kyun hun
girti nahin kyun mujh pe kisi zaKHm ki shabnam
main qafila-e-dard se bachhDa hua kyun hun
aankhon pe jo utra na hua dil pe jo tahrir
us KHwab ki tabir se sahma hua kyun hun
din bhar ke jhamelon se bacha laya tha KHud ko
sham aate hi 'ashfaq' main TuTa hua kyun hun
