jal bujha hun main magar sara jahan tak mein hai
jal bujhā huuñ maiñ magar saarā jahāñ taak meñ hai
koī tāsīr to maujūd mirī ḳhaak meñ hai
kheñchtī rahtī hai har lamha mujhe apnī taraf
jaane kyā chiiz hai jo parda-e-aflāk meñ hai
koī sūrat bhī nahīñ miltī kisī sūrat meñ
kūza-gar kaisā karishma tire is chaak meñ hai
kaise Thahrūñ ki kisī shahr se miltā hī nahīñ
ek naqsha jo mire dīda-e-namnāk meñ hai
ye ilāqa bhī magar dil hī ke taabe Thahrā
ham samajhte the amaañ gosha-e-idrāk meñ hai
qatl hote haiñ yahāñ nāra-e-elān ke saath
vaz.a-dārī to abhī ālam-e-saffāk meñ hai
kitnī chīzoñ ke bhalā naam tujhe ginvā.ūñ
saarī duniyā hī to shāmil mirī imlāk meñ hai
rā.egāñ koī bhī shai hotī nahīñ hai 'ālam'
ġhaur se dekhiye kyā kyā ḳhas-o-ḳhāshāk meñ hai
jal bujha hun main magar sara jahan tak mein hai
koi tasir to maujud meri KHak mein hai
khenchti rahti hai har lamha mujhe apni taraf
jaane kya chiz hai jo parda-e-aflak mein hai
koi surat bhi nahin milti kisi surat mein
kuza-gar kaisa karishma tere is chaak mein hai
kaise Thahrun ki kisi shahr se milta hi nahin
ek naqsha jo mere dida-e-namnak mein hai
ye ilaqa bhi magar dil hi ke tabe Thahra
hum samajhte the aman gosha-e-idrak mein hai
qatl hote hain yahan nara-e-elan ke sath
waza-dari to abhi aalam-e-saffak mein hai
kitni chizon ke bhala nam tujhe ginwaun
sari duniya hi to shamil meri imlak mein hai
raegan koi bhi shai hoti nahin hai 'alam'
ghaur se dekhiye kya kya KHas-o-KHashak mein hai
