itna be-nafa nahin us se bichhaDna mera
itnā be-naf.a nahīñ us se bichhaḌnā merā
anjuman-sāz huā hai dil-e-tanhā merā
sar-nigūñ hone nahīñ detā ye ehsās mujhe
maiñ to TuuTā huuñ magar ḳhvāb na TuuTā merā
kaun haiñ vo jinheñ āfāq kī vus.at kam hai
ye samundar na ye dariyā na ye sahrā merā
ek hī lamha-e-maujūd meñ maujūd huuñ maiñ
aur ik lamhe kā honā hai na honā merā
dil meñ sau tiir tarāzū hue tab jā ke khulā
is qadar sahl na thā jaañ se guzarnā merā
kaise tarsīl-e-suḳhan kī koī sūrat nikle
ye zabāñ merī nahīñ hai na ye lahja merā
maiñ abhī sair-e-jahāñ-bīnī meñ gum huuñ 'ashfāq'
āsmāñ dekh rahā hai abhī rasta merā
itna be-nafa nahin us se bichhaDna mera
anjuman-saz hua hai dil-e-tanha mera
sar-nigun hone nahin deta ye ehsas mujhe
main to TuTa hun magar KHwab na TuTa mera
kaun hain wo jinhen aafaq ki wusat kam hai
ye samundar na ye dariya na ye sahra mera
ek hi lamha-e-maujud mein maujud hun main
aur ek lamhe ka hona hai na hona mera
dil mein sau tir taraazu hue tab ja ke khula
is qadar sahl na tha jaan se guzarna mera
kaise tarsil-e-suKHan ki koi surat nikle
ye zaban meri nahin hai na ye lahja mera
main abhi sair-e-jahan-bini mein gum hun 'ashfaq'
aasman dekh raha hai abhi rasta mera
