jab saz ki lai badal gai thi
jab saaz kī lai badal ga.ī thī
vo raqs kī kaun sī ghaḌī thī
ab yaad nahīñ ki zindagī meñ
maiñ āḳhirī baar kab hañsī thī
jab kuchh bhī na thā yahāñ pe mā-qabl
duniyā kis chiiz se banī thī
muTThī meñ to rañg the hazāroñ
bas haath se ret bah rahī thī
hai aks to aa.ina kahāñ hai
tamsīl ye kis jahān kī thī
ham kis kī zabān bolte haiñ
gar zehn meñ baat dūsrī thī
tanhā hai agar azal se insāñ
ye bazm-e-kalām kyuuñ sajī thī
thā aag hī gar mirā muqaddar
kyuuñ ḳhaak meñ phir shifā rakhī thī
kyuuñ moḌ badal ga.ī kahānī
pahle se agar likhī huī thī
jab saz ki lai badal gai thi
wo raqs ki kaun si ghaDi thi
ab yaad nahin ki zindagi mein
main aaKHiri bar kab hansi thi
jab kuchh bhi na tha yahan pe ma-qabl
duniya kis chiz se bani thi
muTThi mein to rang the hazaron
bas hath se ret bah rahi thi
hai aks to aaina kahan hai
tamsil ye kis jahan ki thi
hum kis ki zaban bolte hain
gar zehn mein baat dusri thi
tanha hai agar azal se insan
ye bazm-e-kalam kyun saji thi
tha aag hi gar mera muqaddar
kyun KHak mein phir shifa rakhi thi
kyun moD badal gai kahani
pahle se agar likhi hui thi
