jo jal uThi hai shabistan mein yaad si kya hai
jo jal uThī hai shabistāñ meñ yaad sī kyā hai
ye jhilmilāhaTeñ kyā haiñ ye raushnī kyā hai
kisī se tark-e-ta.alluq ke ba.ad bhī milnā
burā zarūr hai lekin kabhī kabhī kyā hai
ab apne haal pe ham dhyān hī nahīñ dete
na jaane be-ḳhabarī hai ki āgahī kyā hai
yahī savāl nahīñ hai faqat ki ham kyā haiñ
ye kā.enāt hai kyā aur zindagī kyā hai
hañsī jo dekh rahe ho hamāre hoñToñ par
zabān-e-hāl se ik chīḳh hai hañsī kyā hai
'shu.ūr' abhī se ye ḳhush-fahmiyāñ ye ummīdeñ
abhī to sirf mulāqāt hai abhī kyā hai
jo jal uThi hai shabistan mein yaad si kya hai
ye jhilmilahaTen kya hain ye raushni kya hai
kisi se tark-e-talluq ke baad bhi milna
bura zarur hai lekin kabhi kabhi kya hai
ab apne haal pe hum dhyan hi nahin dete
na jaane be-KHabari hai ki aagahi kya hai
yahi sawal nahin hai faqat ki hum kya hain
ye kaenat hai kya aur zindagi kya hai
hansi jo dekh rahe ho hamare honTon par
zaban-e-haal se ek chiKH hai hansi kya hai
'shuur' abhi se ye KHush-fahmiyan ye ummiden
abhi to sirf mulaqat hai abhi kya hai
