kabhī marhalāt-e-hayāt meñ koī ham-navā hī nahīñ milā
ab is ittifāq ko kyā kahūñ mujhe aasrā nahīñ milā
jo tire qadam kā javāb ho jo tire jamāl kā aks ho
mujhe aisā manzil-e-shauq meñ koī naqsh-e-pā hī nahīñ milā
ka.ī rāz-dār-e-butāñ bhī the ka.ī rāzdār-e-haram bhī the
mire ishtiyāq-e-nigāh ko sanam-āshnā hī nahīñ milā
koī muttaqī koī pārsā koī rind koī junūñ-adā
ye sabhī mile haiñ mujhe magar koī be-ḳhatā hī nahīñ milā
rah-e-marhalāt-e-ḳhulūs meñ mire dil se terī nigāh tak
mujhe jazb-e-shauq ke mā-sivā koī rahnumā hī nahīñ milā
ye baḌī ajiib sī baat hai ki ta.alluqāt-e-hayāt meñ
mujhe ḳhud-numā to mile magar koī rahnumā hī nahīñ milā
vo junūñ-maqām-o-junūñ-adā vo tumhārā 'bāsit'-e-bā-vafā
magar us kā ham-sar-o-ham-navā koī dūsrā nahīñ milā
kabhi marhalat-e-hayat mein koi ham-nawa hi nahin mila
ab is ittifaq ko kya kahun mujhe aasra nahin mila
jo tere qadam ka jawab ho jo tere jamal ka aks ho
mujhe aisa manzil-e-shauq mein koi naqsh-e-pa hi nahin mila
kai raaz-dar-e-butan bhi the kai raazdar-e-haram bhi the
mere ishtiyaq-e-nigah ko sanam-ashna hi nahin mila
koi muttaqi koi parsa koi rind koi junun-ada
ye sabhi mile hain mujhe magar koi be-KHata hi nahin mila
rah-e-marhalat-e-KHulus mein mere dil se teri nigah tak
mujhe jazb-e-shauq ke ma-siwa koi rahnuma hi nahin mila
ye baDi ajib si baat hai ki talluqat-e-hayat mein
mujhe KHud-numa to mile magar koi rahnuma hi nahin mila
wo junun-maqam-o-junun-ada wo tumhaara 'basit'-e-ba-wafa
magar us ka ham-sar-o-ham-nawa koi dusra nahin mila
