kaise kahen ki chaar taraf daera na tha
kaise kaheñ ki chaar taraf dā.era na thā
jaate kahāñ ki ḳhud se pare rāstā na thā
jab saañs le rahī thī daraḳhtoñ ke ās-pās
āvāz de rahī thī koī boltā na thā
ḳhud se chale to rah-guzar ā.īna ho ga.ī
apne sivā.e aur koī sūjhtā na thā
ab ke basant aa.ī to āñkheñ ujaḌ ga.iiñ
sarsoñ ke khet meñ koī patta harā na thā
parda hilā ke bād-e-sahar duur tak ga.ī
ḳhushbū kidhar se aa.ī kisī ko patā na thā
guzrī tamām umr usī shahr meñ jahāñ
vāqif sabhī the go koī pahchāntā na thā
ai 'ashk' ik kitāb paḌhī thī varaq varaq
vo tīrgī thī lafz koī sūjhtā na thā
kaise kahen ki chaar taraf daera na tha
jate kahan ki KHud se pare rasta na tha
jab sans le rahi thi daraKHton ke aas-pas
aawaz de rahi thi koi bolta na tha
KHud se chale to rah-guzar aaina ho gai
apne siwae aur koi sujhta na tha
ab ke basant aai to aankhen ujaD gain
sarson ke khet mein koi patta hara na tha
parda hila ke baad-e-sahar dur tak gai
KHushbu kidhar se aai kisi ko pata na tha
guzri tamam umr usi shahr mein jahan
waqif sabhi the go koi pahchanta na tha
ai 'ashk' ek kitab paDhi thi waraq waraq
wo tirgi thi lafz koi sujhta na tha
