jaise kisi tufan ka KHadsha bhi nahin tha
jaise kisī tūfān kā ḳhadsha bhī nahīñ thā
kyā log the andesha-e-fardā bhī nahīñ thā
vo kaise musāfir the ki be-zād-e-safar the
siine pe koī bār-e-tamannā bhī nahīñ thā
kyuuñ log mazāroñ pe duā maañg rahe the
mujh par kisī aaseb kā saaya bhī nahīñ thā
kis bāġh-e-tilismāt meñ gum ho ga.iiñ āñkheñ
maiñ ne tirī jānib abhī dekhā bhī nahīñ thā
kyuuñ taaza havā kā koī jhoñkā nahīñ aayā
ehsās ke dar par koī parda bhī nahīñ thā
nashsha dar-e-gandum kā hiran hone se pahle
jannat se nikalnā hai ye sochā bhī nahīñ thā
girtī huī dīvār ko sab dekh rahe the
is shahr meñ kuchh aur tamāshā bhī nahīñ thā
nā-karda-gunahī kī sazā de mujhe yā-rab
jo kaam kiyā maiñ ne vo achchhā bhī nahīñ thā
jaise kisi tufan ka KHadsha bhi nahin tha
kya log the andesha-e-farda bhi nahin tha
wo kaise musafir the ki be-zad-e-safar the
sine pe koi bar-e-tamanna bhi nahin tha
kyun log mazaron pe dua mang rahe the
mujh par kisi aaseb ka saya bhi nahin tha
kis bagh-e-tilismat mein gum ho gain aankhen
main ne teri jaanib abhi dekha bhi nahin tha
kyun taza hawa ka koi jhonka nahin aaya
ehsas ke dar par koi parda bhi nahin tha
nashsha dar-e-gandum ka hiran hone se pahle
jannat se nikalna hai ye socha bhi nahin tha
girti hui diwar ko sab dekh rahe the
is shahr mein kuchh aur tamasha bhi nahin tha
na-karda-gunahi ki saza de mujhe ya-rab
jo kaam kiya main ne wo achchha bhi nahin tha
