jahan pe Dub gaya tha kabhi sitara mera
jahāñ pe Duub gayā thā kabhī sitāra mirā
usī ufuq pe jahāñ-tāb hai nazāra mirā
yahī huā ki parinde fazā meñ tair ga.e
na kaam aa.iiñ mirī bandisheñ na chāra mirā
havā-e-dasht bhī majnūñ-sifat nahīñ hai agar
to is maqām pe shāyad na ho guzāra mirā
abhī to harf-e-tamannā likhā nahīñ maiñ ne
abhī se kyuuñ varaq-jāñ hai paara paara mirā
na aag lagtī na taqsīm-e-jism-o-jāñ hotī
fuġhāñ ki shahr-e-sitam par nahīñ ijāra mirā
vo tīrgī hai ki rāh-e-ḳhayāl bhī gum hai
na āsmān hai raushan na isti.āra mirā
na koī dasht munavvar huā na dar 'nāmī'
navāh-e-ġhair meñ jal bujh gayā sharāra mirā
jahan pe Dub gaya tha kabhi sitara mera
usi ufuq pe jahan-tab hai nazara mera
yahi hua ki parinde faza mein tair gae
na kaam aain meri bandishen na chaara mera
hawa-e-dasht bhi majnun-sifat nahin hai agar
to is maqam pe shayad na ho guzara mera
abhi to harf-e-tamanna likha nahin main ne
abhi se kyun waraq-jaan hai para para mera
na aag lagti na taqsim-e-jism-o-jaan hoti
fughan ki shahr-e-sitam par nahin ijara mera
wo tirgi hai ki rah-e-KHayal bhi gum hai
na aasman hai raushan na istiara mera
na koi dasht munawwar hua na dar 'nami'
nawah-e-ghair mein jal bujh gaya sharara mera
