jab tak KHayal-o-KHwab ke KHanon mein kuchh na tha
jab tak ḳhayāl-o-ḳhvāb ke ḳhānoñ meñ kuchh na thā
merā maqām mere bayānoñ meñ kuchh na thā
tārīkiyoñ se jhāñktī rahtī thī raushnī
lekin mirī nazar ke ḳhazānoñ meñ kuchh na thā
zarre bhī āftāb the jab aañkh band thī
āñkheñ khulīñ to donoñ jahānoñ meñ kuchh na thā
mukhḌoñ ke moh jism ke jaadū nazar kī aañch
is ke sivā havas kī dukānoñ meñ kuchh na thā
har shaḳhs ik pukār thā har chīḳh ik savāl
tahzīb-o-āgahī kī azānoñ meñ kuchh na thā
pinhāñ thiiñ ghan-garaj meñ mukammal ḳhamoshiyāñ
merī samā'atoñ ke ḳhazānoñ meñ kuchh na thā
dīvār-o-dar harīf-e-mah-o-mehr the magar
dekhā to ḳhvāhishoñ ke makānoñ meñ kuchh na thā
har samt ek dhund sī thī rasm-o-rāh kī
merā vujūd mere zamānoñ meñ kuchh na thā
be-chehra ik ḳhayāl thā be-samt ik safar
aur merī justujū ke Thikānoñ meñ kuchh na thā
me'yār mere apne the apne mire usuul
dam varna besh-o-kam ke fasānoñ meñ kuchh na thā
'vasfī' hayāt-o-maut ke Takrāo kā javāb
maflūj falsafoñ kī zabānoñ meñ kuchh na thā
jab tak KHayal-o-KHwab ke KHanon mein kuchh na tha
mera maqam mere bayanon mein kuchh na tha
tarikiyon se jhankti rahti thi raushni
lekin meri nazar ke KHazanon mein kuchh na tha
zarre bhi aaftab the jab aankh band thi
aankhen khulin to donon jahanon mein kuchh na tha
mukhDon ke moh jism ke jadu nazar ki aanch
is ke siwa hawas ki dukanon mein kuchh na tha
har shaKHs ek pukar tha har chiKH ek sawal
tahzib-o-agahi ki azanon mein kuchh na tha
pinhan thin ghan-garaj mein mukammal KHamoshiyan
meri sama'aton ke KHazanon mein kuchh na tha
diwar-o-dar harif-e-mah-o-mehr the magar
dekha to KHwahishon ke makanon mein kuchh na tha
har samt ek dhund si thi rasm-o-rah ki
mera wujud mere zamanon mein kuchh na tha
be-chehra ek KHayal tha be-samt ek safar
aur meri justuju ke Thikanon mein kuchh na tha
me'yar mere apne the apne mere usul
dam warna besh-o-kam ke fasanon mein kuchh na tha
'wasfi' hayat-o-maut ke Takrao ka jawab
mafluj falsafon ki zabanon mein kuchh na tha
