kahin thi rakh kahin tha dhuan kahin thi aag

kahīñ thī raakh kahīñ thā dhuāñ kahīñ thī aag

falak Dhakā thā sitāroñ se jab zamīñ thī aag

jame hue lab-o-ruḳhsār bhī dahak rahe the

hisār-e-mausam-e-barfāb meñ hasīñ thī aag

hudūd-e-jism se bāhar nikal ke sard lagī

quyūd-e-jism meñ thī jab tak thī bar-tarīñ thī aag

adāvatoñ meñ na.e rañg bhar rahā thā vo

baġhal meñ saañp the aur zer-e-āstīñ thī aag

tirā TheThurtā badan bhī bujhā sakā na mujhe

kuchh aise bar-sar-e-sahn-e-badan makīñ thī aag

shab-e-visāl kā ahvāl pūchhnā mat dost

pas-e-qabā-e-ġhazab itr-ambarīñ thī aag

kamāl-e-kun ne rakhā pyaas meñ jamāl-e-āb

nahīñ thā jab kahīñ paanī kahīñ nahīñ thī aag

safar kā bojh barābar rahā hai donoñ par

jahāñ jahāñ bhī thā paanī vahīñ vahīñ thī aag

vajūd-e-lams kī lazzat se nā-shanās rahā

vo haath sard thā 'haidar' mirī jabīñ thī aag

kahin thi rakh kahin tha dhuan kahin thi aag

falak Dhaka tha sitaron se jab zamin thi aag

jame hue lab-o-ruKHsar bhi dahak rahe the

hisar-e-mausam-e-barfab mein hasin thi aag

hudud-e-jism se bahar nikal ke sard lagi

quyud-e-jism mein thi jab tak thi bar-tarin thi aag

adawaton mein nae rang bhar raha tha wo

baghal mein sanp the aur zer-e-astin thi aag

tera TheThurta badan bhi bujha saka na mujhe

kuchh aise bar-sar-e-sahn-e-badan makin thi aag

shab-e-visal ka ahwal puchhna mat dost

pas-e-qaba-e-ghazab itr-ambarin thi aag

kamal-e-kun ne rakha pyas mein jamal-e-ab

nahin tha jab kahin pani kahin nahin thi aag

safar ka bojh barabar raha hai donon par

jahan jahan bhi tha pani wahin wahin thi aag

wajud-e-lams ki lazzat se na-shanas raha

wo hath sard tha 'haidar' meri jabin thi aag
