jo KHwab mere nahin the main un ko dekhta tha
jo ḳhvāb mere nahīñ the maiñ un ko dekhtā thā
isī liye aañkh khul ga.ī thī isī liye dil dukhā huā thā
udāsiyoñ se bharī huī iltijā sunī thī
kisī nagar meñ koī kisī ko pukārtā thā
vo ik sadā thī ki haft-ālam meñ gūñjtī thī
na-jāne kaise koī kisī se bichhaḌ gayā thā
ajiib hairat bikherte the vo dāstāñ-go
ki shab ne jaane se saaf inkār kar diyā thā
guzishtagāñ ko bhī ye gila thā sunā hai maiñ ne
sunā hai un ko bhī ism-e-āzam nahīñ milā thā
fazā sunahrī thī rañg phailā thā chaar jānib
ki chāñd se vo zamīñ pe jaise utar rahā thā
safar ke āḳhir pe sham.eñ raushan sī ho ga.ī thiiñ
koī masarrat kī sab hadoñ se guzar gayā thā
jo KHwab mere nahin the main un ko dekhta tha
isi liye aankh khul gai thi isi liye dil dukha hua tha
udasiyon se bhari hui iltija suni thi
kisi nagar mein koi kisi ko pukarta tha
wo ek sada thi ki haft-alam mein gunjti thi
na-jaane kaise koi kisi se bichhaD gaya tha
ajib hairat bikherte the wo dastan-go
ki shab ne jaane se saf inkar kar diya tha
guzishtagan ko bhi ye gila tha suna hai main ne
suna hai un ko bhi ism-e-azam nahin mila tha
faza sunahri thi rang phaila tha chaar jaanib
ki chand se wo zamin pe jaise utar raha tha
safar ke aaKHir pe shamen raushan si ho gai thin
koi masarrat ki sab hadon se guzar gaya tha
