jhil ke par dhanak-rang saman hai kaisa
jhiil ke paar dhanak-rañg samāñ hai kaisā
jhilmilātā huā vo aks vahāñ hai kaisā
jalte bujhte hue fānūs haiñ manzar manzar
naqsh-dar-naqsh vo miT kar bhī ayaañ hai kaisā
kitne alfāz-o-ma.ānī ke varaq khulte haiñ
mere andar ye kitāboñ kā jahāñ hai kaisā
mujh meñ ab merī jagah aur koī hai shāyad
kuchh samajh meñ nahīñ aatā ye gumāñ hai kaisā
shahr se lauT ke ghar qarz chukānā hai mujhe
kaise likkhūñ ki mirā haal yahāñ hai kaisā
kis ne Daalī hai fazāoñ pe ye mailī chādar
shab ke māthe pe lahū-rañg nishāñ hai kaisā
muTThiyāñ bhej ke ham log rahe haiñ kab se
duur tak aag kā jañgal hai samāñ hai kaisā
mere ajdād ke to ḳhvāb yahāñ dafn nahīñ
ye havelī ye pur-asrār dhuāñ hai kaisā
qabreñ bhī us meñ nahīñ tāj-mahal kī sūrat
koī ābād nahīñ hai ye makāñ hai kaisā
jhil ke par dhanak-rang saman hai kaisa
jhilmilata hua wo aks wahan hai kaisa
jalte bujhte hue fanus hain manzar manzar
naqsh-dar-naqsh wo miT kar bhi ayan hai kaisa
kitne alfaz-o-maani ke waraq khulte hain
mere andar ye kitabon ka jahan hai kaisa
mujh mein ab meri jagah aur koi hai shayad
kuchh samajh mein nahin aata ye guman hai kaisa
shahr se lauT ke ghar qarz chukana hai mujhe
kaise likkhun ki mera haal yahan hai kaisa
kis ne Dali hai fazaon pe ye maili chadar
shab ke mathe pe lahu-rang nishan hai kaisa
muTThiyan bhej ke hum log rahe hain kab se
dur tak aag ka jangal hai saman hai kaisa
mere ajdad ke to KHwab yahan dafn nahin
ye haweli ye pur-asrar dhuan hai kaisa
qabren bhi us mein nahin taj-mahal ki surat
koi aabaad nahin hai ye makan hai kaisa
