itna tilism yaad ke chaqmaq mein raha
itnā tilism yaad ke chaqmāq meñ rahā
raushan charāġh duur kisī taaq meñ rahā
maḳhfī bhī thā visāl kā vo bāb-e-muḳhtasar
kuchh dil bhī mahv hijr ke asbāq meñ rahā
sahrā ke ishtirāk pe raazī the sab farīq
mahmil kā jo fasād thā ushshāq meñ rahā
mafqūd ho gayā hai siyāq-o-sabāq se
jo harf-e-umr saikaḌoñ aurāq meñ rahā
maiñ thā ki jis ke vāste pāband ahd-e-hijr
vo aur ek hijr ke mīsāq meñ rahā
atvār us ke dekh ke aatā nahīñ yaqīñ
insāñ sunā gayā hai ki āfāq meñ rahā
ḳhufta the daa.eñ baa.eñ ka.ī mār-e-āstīñ
zahrāb kā asar mire tiryāq meñ rahā
tārīḳh ne pasand kiyā bhī kisī sabab
yā bas ki shāh-e-vaqt thā aurāq meñ rahā
itna tilism yaad ke chaqmaq mein raha
raushan charagh dur kisi taq mein raha
maKHfi bhi tha visal ka wo bab-e-muKHtasar
kuchh dil bhi mahw hijr ke asbaq mein raha
sahra ke ishtirak pe raazi the sab fariq
mahmil ka jo fasad tha ushshaq mein raha
mafqud ho gaya hai siyaq-o-sabaq se
jo harf-e-umr saikaDon auraq mein raha
main tha ki jis ke waste paband ahd-e-hijr
wo aur ek hijr ke misaq mein raha
atwar us ke dekh ke aata nahin yaqin
insan suna gaya hai ki aafaq mein raha
KHufta the daen baen kai mar-e-astin
zahrab ka asar mere tiryaq mein raha
tariKH ne pasand kiya bhi kisi sabab
ya bas ki shah-e-waqt tha auraq mein raha
