Interesting Fact
January 1964
hayāt kī be-ruḳhī na.ī hai na apnī kam-mā.egī na.ī hai
phir aaj jazbāt-e-ġham kī maujoñ meñ kaisī ye bekalī na.ī hai
na jaane harf-e-talab hai nādim ki be-zabānī zabāñ hai apnī
dhaḌak rahā hai dil-e-tamannā ki manzil-e-āshiqī na.ī hai
vahī hai jaada vahī safar hai vahī hai manzar vahī nazar hai
magar ba-andāz-e-āshnā.ī hamārī vāraftagī na.ī hai
zavāl-e-hastī ke nauha-ḳhvāñ the koī hamārī zabāñ na samjhā
bujhe haiñ sīnoñ meñ dil sabhī ke ki apnī āshuftagī na.ī hai
jo harf dil par raqam kiye the vo le uḌeñ yaas kī havā.eñ
ab is bayābān-e-ārzū meñ hamārī bechārgī na.ī hai
na koī dard-āshnā na hamdam na koī soz-e-darūñ kā mahram
hameñ yahāñ ajnabī haiñ jaane ki saarī duniyā na.ī na.ī hai
maiñ naqd-e-jāñ tak luTā chukī thī nafas meñ sho.ale jalā chukī thī
tilism-e-ḳhvāb ab kahāñ se aayā ye manzil-e-be-ḳhudī na.ī hai
hayat ki be-ruKHi nai hai na apni kam-maegi nai hai
phir aaj jazbaat-e-gham ki maujon mein kaisi ye bekali nai hai
na jaane harf-e-talab hai nadim ki be-zabani zaban hai apni
dhaDak raha hai dil-e-tamanna ki manzil-e-ashiqi nai hai
wahi hai jada wahi safar hai wahi hai manzar wahi nazar hai
magar ba-andaz-e-ashnai hamari waraftagi nai hai
zawal-e-hasti ke nauha-KHwan the koi hamari zaban na samjha
bujhe hain sinon mein dil sabhi ke ki apni aashuftagi nai hai
jo harf dil par raqam kiye the wo le uDen yas ki hawaen
ab is bayaban-e-arzu mein hamari bechaargi nai hai
na koi dard-ashna na hamdam na koi soz-e-darun ka mahram
hamein yahan ajnabi hain jaane ki sari duniya nai nai hai
main naqd-e-jaan tak luTa chuki thi nafas mein shoale jala chuki thi
tilism-e-KHwab ab kahan se aaya ye manzil-e-be-KHudi nai hai
