jala diya shajar-e-jaan ki sabz-baKHt na tha
jalā diyā shajar-e-jāñ ki sabz-baḳht na thā
kisī bhī rut meñ harā ho ye vo daraḳht na thā
vo ḳhvāb dekhā thā shahzādiyoñ ne pichhle pahar
phir us ke baad muqaddar meñ taaj o taḳht na thā
zarā se jabr se maiñ bhī to TuuT saktī thī
mirī tarah se tabī.at kā vo bhī saḳht na thā
mire liye to vo ḳhanjar bhī phuul ban ke uThā
zabān saḳht thī lahja kabhī karaḳht na thā
añdherī rātoñ ke tanhā musāfiroñ ke liye
diyā jalātā huā koī sāz-o-raḳht na thā
ga.e vo din ki mujhī tak thā merā dukh mahdūd
ḳhabar ke jaisā ye afsāna laḳht-laḳht na thā
jala diya shajar-e-jaan ki sabz-baKHt na tha
kisi bhi rut mein hara ho ye wo daraKHt na tha
wo KHwab dekha tha shahzadiyon ne pichhle pahar
phir us ke baad muqaddar mein taj o taKHt na tha
zara se jabr se main bhi to TuT sakti thi
meri tarah se tabiat ka wo bhi saKHt na tha
mere liye to wo KHanjar bhi phul ban ke uTha
zaban saKHt thi lahja kabhi karaKHt na tha
andheri raaton ke tanha musafiron ke liye
diya jalata hua koi saz-o-raKHt na tha
gae wo din ki mujhi tak tha mera dukh mahdud
KHabar ke jaisa ye afsana laKHt-laKHt na tha
