kai silsilon se juDa hua ye jo zindagi ka safar raha
ka.ī silsiloñ se juḌā huā ye jo zindagī kā safar rahā
na.ī manziloñ kī talāsh meñ ye rahīn-e-rāh-guzar rahā
vo jo log mere ḳhulūs kā baḌā barmalā sā javāz the
jo nigāh-e-nāz kā zo.am the maiñ unhī kā sarf-e-nazar rahā
maiñ dayār-e-yār meñ ajnabī jahāñ umr saarī guzar ga.ī
jise maiñ ne apnā samajh liyā vo nagar jahān-e-digar rahā
kabhī sāz-e-ġham se jo sar mile to maiñ raqs-gāh meñ jal uThā
mire baḳht meñ thī jo naġhmagī maiñ usī ke zer-e-asar rahā
kisī aise ḳhauf meñ mubtalā ki bayāñ karūñ to karūñ bhī kyā
thī jo mumkināt se māvarā mujhe aisī baat kā Dar rahā
mirī aarzū koī ḳhvāb thā so maiñ rat-jagoñ se ulajh paḌā
mirī āfiyat thī ḳhumār meñ mujhe jāgne meñ hunar rahā
sabhī guftugū kā ma.aal hai na savāl kar na javāb de
yahāñ shor-o-ġhul ke bahāv meñ jise chup lagī vo amar rahā
kai silsilon se juDa hua ye jo zindagi ka safar raha
nai manzilon ki talash mein ye rahin-e-rah-guzar raha
wo jo log mere KHulus ka baDa barmala sa jawaz the
jo nigah-e-naz ka zoam the main unhi ka sarf-e-nazar raha
main dayar-e-yar mein ajnabi jahan umr sari guzar gai
jise main ne apna samajh liya wo nagar jahan-e-digar raha
kabhi saz-e-gham se jo sar mile to main raqs-gah mein jal uTha
mere baKHt mein thi jo naghmagi main usi ke zer-e-asar raha
kisi aise KHauf mein mubtala ki bayan karun to karun bhi kya
thi jo mumkinat se mawara mujhe aisi baat ka Dar raha
meri aarzu koi KHwab tha so main rat-jagon se ulajh paDa
meri aafiyat thi KHumar mein mujhe jagne mein hunar raha
sabhi guftugu ka maal hai na sawal kar na jawab de
yahan shor-o-ghul ke bahaw mein jise chup lagi wo amar raha
