jab dil ki rahguzar pe tera naqsh-e-pa na tha
jab dil kī rahguzar pe tirā naqsh-e-pā na thā
jiine kī aarzū thī magar hausla na thā
aage harīm-e-ġham se koī rāsta na thā
achchhā huā ki saath kisī ko liyā na thā
dāmān-e-chāk chāk-gulūñ ko bahāna thā
varna nigāh-o-dil meñ koī fāsla na thā
kuchh log sharmsār ḳhudā jaane kyuuñ hue
un se to rūh-e-asr hameñ kuchh gila na thā
jalte rahe ḳhayāl barastī rahī ghaTā
haañ nāz-e-āgahī tujhe kyā kuchh ravā na thā
sunsān dopahar hai baḌā jī udaas hai
kahne ko saath saath hamāre zamāna thā
har aarzū kā naam nahīñ ābrū-e-jāñ
har tishna-lab jamāl-e-ruḳh-e-karbalā na thā
āñdhī meñ barg-e-gul kī zabāñ se 'adā' huā
vo raaz jo kisī se abhī tak kahā na thā
jab dil ki rahguzar pe tera naqsh-e-pa na tha
jine ki aarzu thi magar hausla na tha
aage harim-e-gham se koi rasta na tha
achchha hua ki sath kisi ko liya na tha
daman-e-chaak chaak-gulun ko bahana tha
warna nigah-o-dil mein koi fasla na tha
kuchh log sharmsar KHuda jaane kyun hue
un se to ruh-e-asr hamein kuchh gila na tha
jalte rahe KHayal barasti rahi ghaTa
han naz-e-agahi tujhe kya kuchh rawa na tha
sunsan dopahar hai baDa ji udas hai
kahne ko sath sath hamare zamana tha
har aarzu ka nam nahin aabru-e-jaan
har tishna-lab jamal-e-ruKH-e-karbala na tha
aandhi mein barg-e-gul ki zaban se 'ada' hua
wo raaz jo kisi se abhi tak kaha na tha
