in dinon bhi jabki wo taswir ke paikar mein tha
in dinoñ bhī jabki vo tasvīr ke paikar meñ thā
maiñ ka.ī shakloñ meñ har manzar ke pas-manzar meñ thā
thā ġhubār-ālūd vo tab bhī na pahchānā use
ab ke jab dekhā to vo malbūs sīm-o-zar meñ thā
ye khañDar jo dekhte ho thā kabhī ik āsmāñ
itnā ūñchā thā ki saaya bhī na bām-o-dar meñ thā
qatl kā ilzām us ne kah ke ye rad kar diyā
vaqt vo daftar kā thā maiñ us ghaḌī daftar meñ thā
thī vo shohrat kī havas yā ishtihāroñ kā fareb
lāpata chhaptā thā jab aḳhbār meñ vo ghar meñ thā
kyā batā.ūñ dosto ik hashr-sāmāñ kā thā saath
der itnī yuuñ huī maiñ 'arsa-e-mahshar meñ thā
ik darāmā.ī asar laatā thā vo stage par
go shumār us shā.ir-e-pur-fan kā bāzīgar meñ thā
in dinon bhi jabki wo taswir ke paikar mein tha
main kai shaklon mein har manzar ke pas-manzar mein tha
tha ghubar-alud wo tab bhi na pahchana use
ab ke jab dekha to wo malbus sim-o-zar mein tha
ye khanDar jo dekhte ho tha kabhi ek aasman
itna uncha tha ki saya bhi na baam-o-dar mein tha
qatl ka ilzam us ne kah ke ye rad kar diya
waqt wo daftar ka tha main us ghaDi daftar mein tha
thi wo shohrat ki hawas ya ishtihaaron ka fareb
lapata chhapta tha jab aKHbar mein wo ghar mein tha
kya bataun dosto ek hashr-saman ka tha sath
der itni yun hui main 'arsa-e-mahshar mein tha
ek daramai asar lata tha wo stage par
go shumar us shair-e-pur-fan ka bazigar mein tha
