hasrat-e-ab-o-gil dobara nahin
hasrat-e-āb-o-gil dobāra nahīñ
dekh duniyā nahīñ hamesha nahīñ
sochne kā koī natīja nahīñ
saaya hai e'tibār-e-sāya nahīñ
sāda-kārī ka.ī parat ka.ī rañg
sādgī ik adā-e-sādā nahīñ
achchhe lagte haiñ achchhe log mujhe
jo samajhte haiñ un se parda nahīñ
maiñ kahīñ aur kis tarah jā.ūñ
tū kisī aur ke alāva nahīñ
tujh se bhāge sukūn se bhāge
sar-garāñ haiñ ki dil-girafta nahīñ
raat zanjīr sī qadam-ba-qadam
ek manzil hai koī jaada nahīñ
husn to ho chalā zamāna-shanās
ishq kā bhī koī bharosa nahīñ
sunte haiñ ik jazīra hai ki jahāñ
ye balā-e-havās-e-ḳhamsa nahīñ
ai sitāro kise pukārte ho
is ḳharābe meñ koī zinda nahīñ
chāñdnī kheltī hai paanī se
itnī barsāt hai ki sabza nahīñ
kaise be-dard haiñ ki joḌte haiñ
naram alfāz jin meñ rishta nahīñ
kahīñ ījād mahz be-mafhum
kahīñ mafhūm hai to lahja nahīñ
kahīñ tasvīr nāk-naqshe baġhair
kahīñ dīvār hai darīcha nahīñ
un se kāġhaz meñ jaan kaise paḌe
jin kī āñkhoñ meñ aks-e-tāza nahīñ
dushmanī hai to dushmanī hī sahī
maiñ nahīñ yā dukān-e-shīsha nahīñ
ḳhaak se kis ne uThte dekhī hai
vo qayāmat ki isti.āra nahīñ
kabhī har saañs meñ zamān-o-makāñ
kabhī barsoñ meñ ek lamha nahīñ
bekalī taar kastī jaa.e 'ḳhizāñ'
hasrat-e-āb-o-gil dobāra nahīñ
hasrat-e-ab-o-gil dobara nahin
dekh duniya nahin hamesha nahin
sochne ka koi natija nahin
saya hai e'tibar-e-saya nahin
sada-kari kai parat kai rang
sadgi ek ada-e-sada nahin
achchhe lagte hain achchhe log mujhe
jo samajhte hain un se parda nahin
main kahin aur kis tarah jaun
tu kisi aur ke alawa nahin
tujh se bhage sukun se bhage
sar-garan hain ki dil-girafta nahin
raat zanjir si qadam-ba-qadam
ek manzil hai koi jada nahin
husn to ho chala zamana-shanas
ishq ka bhi koi bharosa nahin
sunte hain ek jazira hai ki jahan
ye bala-e-hawas-e-KHamsa nahin
ai sitaro kise pukarte ho
is KHarabe mein koi zinda nahin
chandni khelti hai pani se
itni barsat hai ki sabza nahin
kaise be-dard hain ki joDte hain
naram alfaz jin mein rishta nahin
kahin ijad mahz be-mafhum
kahin mafhum hai to lahja nahin
kahin taswir nak-naqshe baghair
kahin diwar hai daricha nahin
un se kaghaz mein jaan kaise paDe
jin ki aankhon mein aks-e-taza nahin
dushmani hai to dushmani hi sahi
main nahin ya dukan-e-shisha nahin
KHak se kis ne uThte dekhi hai
wo qayamat ki istiara nahin
kabhi har sans mein zaman-o-makan
kabhi barson mein ek lamha nahin
bekali tar kasti jae 'KHizan'
hasrat-e-ab-o-gil dobara nahin
