kabhi dhanak si utarti thi un nigahon mein
kabhī dhanak sī utartī thī un nigāhoñ meñ
vo shoḳh rañg bhī dhīme paḌe havāoñ meñ
maiñ tez-gām chalī jā rahī thī us kī samt
kashish ajiib thī us dasht kī sadāoñ meñ
vo ik sadā jo fareb-e-sadā se bhī kam hai
na Duub jaa.e kahīñ tund-rau havāoñ meñ
sukūt-e-shām hai aur maiñ huuñ gosh-bar-āvāz
ki ek va.ade kā afsūñ sā hai fazāoñ meñ
mirī tarah yūñhī gum-karda-rāh chhoḌegī
tum apnī baañh na denā havā kī bāñhoñ meñ
nuqūsh paañv ke likhte haiñ manzil-e-nā-yāft
mirā safar to hai tahrīr merī rāhoñ meñ
kabhi dhanak si utarti thi un nigahon mein
wo shoKH rang bhi dhime paDe hawaon mein
main tez-gam chali ja rahi thi us ki samt
kashish ajib thi us dasht ki sadaon mein
wo ek sada jo fareb-e-sada se bhi kam hai
na Dub jae kahin tund-rau hawaon mein
sukut-e-sham hai aur main hun gosh-bar-awaz
ki ek wade ka afsun sa hai fazaon mein
meri tarah yunhi gum-karda-rah chhoDegi
tum apni banh na dena hawa ki banhon mein
nuqush panw ke likhte hain manzil-e-na-yaft
mera safar to hai tahrir meri rahon mein
