jaan ki bari hai ab dil ka ziyan aisa na tha
jaan kī baarī hai ab dil kā ziyāñ aisā na thā
ḳhair jo kuchh bhī huā ham ko gumāñ aisā na thā
saḳht jaisī ab hai qadmoñ meñ zamīñ aisī na thī
sar pe jaisā ab hai bhārī āsmāñ aisā na thā
ik zamāna ho gayā is raah se guzre hue
ye galī aisī nahīñ thī ye makāñ aisā na thā
thā ḳhas-o-ḳhāshāk kī mānind apnā hī vajūd
sirf ham par hī girī hoñ bijliyāñ aisā na thā
us kināre kā tasavvur meñ bhī aanā hai muhāl
thā to pahle se samundar be-karāñ aisā na thā
apnī nākāmī to pahle se muqaddar thī 'shakīl'
ham pe kuchh mushkil rahā ho imtihāñ aisā na thā
jaan ki bari hai ab dil ka ziyan aisa na tha
KHair jo kuchh bhi hua hum ko guman aisa na tha
saKHt jaisi ab hai qadmon mein zamin aisi na thi
sar pe jaisa ab hai bhaari aasman aisa na tha
ek zamana ho gaya is rah se guzre hue
ye gali aisi nahin thi ye makan aisa na tha
tha KHas-o-KHashak ki manind apna hi wajud
sirf hum par hi giri hon bijliyan aisa na tha
us kinare ka tasawwur mein bhi aana hai muhaal
tha to pahle se samundar be-karan aisa na tha
apni nakaami to pahle se muqaddar thi 'shakil'
hum pe kuchh mushkil raha ho imtihan aisa na tha
