haqiqaton ko fasana nahin banati main
haqīqatoñ ko fasāna nahīñ banātī maiñ
tumhāre ḳhvāb se ḳhud ko nahīñ jagātī maiñ
vo fāḳhta kī alāmat agar samajh jaatā
to us ke sāmne talvār kyuuñ uThātī maiñ
janāb vāqa.ī maiñ ne kahīñ nahīñ jaanā
vagarna aap kī gaaḌī meñ baiTh jaatī maiñ
phir ek-dam mire pairoñ meñ gir ga.e kuchh log
qarīb thā ki koī faisla sunātī maiñ
ḳhudā kā shukr ki vo rāste se lauT gayā
agar vo aatā to us ko kahāñ biThātī maiñ
kisī ḳhayāl meñ hāthoñ se chhūT jaate haiñ
ye jān-būjh ke bartan nahīñ girātī maiñ
vo dil ho yā mirī guḌiyā kī maut ho jo ho
hamesha sog meñ chūlhā nahīñ jalātī maiñ
maiñ māntī huuñ mirā faisla ġhalat niklā
tumhīñ batāo ki pahle kise bachātī maiñ
mirā badan kisī titlī se kam nahīñ 'zahrā'
to mar na jaatī agar tere haath aatī maiñ
haqiqaton ko fasana nahin banati main
tumhaare KHwab se KHud ko nahin jagati main
wo faKHta ki alamat agar samajh jata
to us ke samne talwar kyun uThati main
janab waqai main ne kahin nahin jaana
wagarna aap ki gaDi mein baiTh jati main
phir ek-dam mere pairon mein gir gae kuchh log
qarib tha ki koi faisla sunati main
KHuda ka shukr ki wo raste se lauT gaya
agar wo aata to us ko kahan biThati main
kisi KHayal mein hathon se chhuT jate hain
ye jaan-bujh ke bartan nahin giraati main
wo dil ho ya meri guDiya ki maut ho jo ho
hamesha sog mein chulha nahin jalati main
main manti hun mera faisla ghalat nikla
tumhin batao ki pahle kise bachati main
mera badan kisi titli se kam nahin 'zahra'
to mar na jati agar tere hath aati main
