har naqsh-e-nawa lauT ke jaane ke liye tha
har naqsh-e-navā lauT ke jaane ke liye thā
jo bhuul chukā huuñ vo bhulāne ke liye thā
kuchh bhed zamāne ke bhī mujh par na khule the
kuchh maiñ bhī riyā-kār zamāne ke liye thā
kuchh maiñ ne bhī be-vaj.h hañsī us kī uḌaa.ī
kuchh vo bhī mirī jaan jalāne ke liye thā
kuchh log jazīroñ pe khaḌe the so khaḌe haiñ
sailāb safīnoñ ko bahāne ke liye thā
pyāsā jo na hotā to samundar se na miltā
dariyā jo mirī pyaas bujhāne ke liye thā
girnī hī thī ik roz ye dīvār badan kī
ye raah kā patthar bhī haTāne ke liye thā
sab merī udāsī meñ tujhe DhūñD rahe the
hañsnā bhī mirā tujh ko chhupāne ke liye thā
ik lahr ki bas ḳhaak uḌāne pe ba-zid thī
ik rañg ki palkoñ meñ sajāne ke liye thā
ik lamha-e-ḳhālī kī sadā sab ne sunī thī
ik shor ḳhamoshī ko baḌhāne ke liye thā
ḳhīra haiñ nigāheñ to na kuchh dekh sakeñgī
manzar jo yahāñ thā nazar aane ke liye thā
āp-apnī jasārat se tah-e-āb huā hai
vo Dūbne vaale ko bachāne ke liye thā
har naqsh-e-nawa lauT ke jaane ke liye tha
jo bhul chuka hun wo bhulane ke liye tha
kuchh bhed zamane ke bhi mujh par na khule the
kuchh main bhi riya-kar zamane ke liye tha
kuchh main ne bhi be-wajh hansi us ki uDai
kuchh wo bhi meri jaan jalane ke liye tha
kuchh log jaziron pe khaDe the so khaDe hain
sailab safinon ko bahane ke liye tha
pyasa jo na hota to samundar se na milta
dariya jo meri pyas bujhane ke liye tha
girni hi thi ek roz ye diwar badan ki
ye rah ka patthar bhi haTane ke liye tha
sab meri udasi mein tujhe DhunD rahe the
hansna bhi mera tujh ko chhupane ke liye tha
ek lahr ki bas KHak uDane pe ba-zid thi
ek rang ki palkon mein sajaane ke liye tha
ek lamha-e-KHali ki sada sab ne suni thi
ek shor KHamoshi ko baDhane ke liye tha
KHira hain nigahen to na kuchh dekh sakengi
manzar jo yahan tha nazar aane ke liye tha
aap-apni jasarat se tah-e-ab hua hai
wo Dubne wale ko bachane ke liye tha
