kaho kya mehrban na-mehrban taqdir hoti hai
kaho kyā mehrbāñ nā-mehrbāñ taqdīr hotī hai
kahā maañ kī duāoñ meñ baḌī tāsīr hotī hai
kaho kyā baat kartī hai kabhī sahrā kī ḳhāmoshī
kahā us ḳhāmushī meñ bhī to ik taqrīr hotī hai
kahā maiñ ne ki ranj-e-be-makānī kab satātā hai
kahā jab maqbare yā qasr kī ta.amīr hotī hai
kahā maiñ ne hisār-e-zāt meñ ye nafs kī duniyā
javāb aayā ki sab kuchh haar kar tasḳhīr hotī hai
kahā ye ḳhvāhish-o-tarġhīb aur ye ḳhuun ke rishte
kahā zindāniyoñ ke paañv meñ zanjīr hotī hai
kahā vo jo savālī aañkh kī putlī pe likkhī thī
kahā sab se mo.assir to vahī tahrīr hotī hai
kahā ahl-e-ḳhirad 'anjum' tumheñ be-kār kahte haiñ
kahā sikke kī apne des meñ tauqīr hotī hai
kaho kya mehrban na-mehrban taqdir hoti hai
kaha man ki duaon mein baDi tasir hoti hai
kaho kya baat karti hai kabhi sahra ki KHamoshi
kaha us KHamushi mein bhi to ek taqrir hoti hai
kaha main ne ki ranj-e-be-makani kab satata hai
kaha jab maqbare ya qasr ki tamir hoti hai
kaha main ne hisar-e-zat mein ye nafs ki duniya
jawab aaya ki sab kuchh haar kar tasKHir hoti hai
kaha ye KHwahish-o-targhib aur ye KHun ke rishte
kaha zindaniyon ke panw mein zanjir hoti hai
kaha wo jo sawali aankh ki putli pe likkhi thi
kaha sab se moassir to wahi tahrir hoti hai
kaha ahl-e-KHirad 'anjum' tumhein be-kar kahte hain
kaha sikke ki apne des mein tauqir hoti hai
