haqiqat se jo aashna ho gaya

haqīqat se jo āshnā ho gayā

quyūd-e-havas se rihā ho gayā

nuqūsh-e-amal ko miTā kar koī

amīr-e-tilism-e-duā ho gayā

vo qaid-e-tasavvur se āzād hai

latāfat kā jo aa.ina ho gayā

tahī-dāmanī se pashemāñ the ham

vo tar-dāmanī par ḳhafā ho gayā

hai chehroñ pe kyuuñ chhā.ī pazhmurdagī

shagufta diloñ ko ye kyā ho gayā

jo ḳhud ḳhāliq-e-mudda.ā thā kabhī

vahī banda-e-mudda.ā ho gayā

'vafā' mai-kade ab na jaa.e koī

vo riñd-e-azal pārsā ho gayā

haqiqat se jo aashna ho gaya

quyud-e-hawas se riha ho gaya

nuqush-e-amal ko miTa kar koi

amir-e-tilism-e-dua ho gaya

wo qaid-e-tasawwur se aazad hai

latafat ka jo aaina ho gaya

tahi-damani se pasheman the hum

wo tar-damani par KHafa ho gaya

hai chehron pe kyun chhai pazhmurdagi

shagufta dilon ko ye kya ho gaya

jo KHud KHaliq-e-muddaa tha kabhi

wahi banda-e-muddaa ho gaya

'wafa' mai-kade ab na jae koi

wo rind-e-azal parsa ho gaya
