kaun kahta hai sar-e-arsh-e-barin rahta hai
kaun kahtā hai sar-e-arsh-e-barīñ rahtā hai
vo to ik dard hai jo dil ke qarīñ rahtā hai
chāñd par apne qadam aap ne kyuuñ rok liye
ek gaam aur ki sūraj bhī yahīñ rahtā hai
sham.a kī tarah pighaltā huuñ maiñ lamha lamha
mere ehsās meñ ik sho.ala-jabīñ rahtā hai
dil ke darvāze pe ab kis ko sadā dete ho
muddateñ guzrīñ yahāñ koī nahīñ rahtā hai
vo jo sūraj ko hathelī pe liye phirtā thā
unhīñ tārīk sī galiyoñ meñ kahīñ rahtā hai
jin fazāoñ meñ tamannāoñ kā dam ghaTtā hai
haañ mire daur kā fankār vahīñ rahtā hai
jaane ye shauq kī hai kaun sī manzil 'ḳhusrav'
maiñ kahīñ rahtā huuñ dil merā kahīñ rahtā hai
kaun kahta hai sar-e-arsh-e-barin rahta hai
wo to ek dard hai jo dil ke qarin rahta hai
chand par apne qadam aap ne kyun rok liye
ek gam aur ki suraj bhi yahin rahta hai
shama ki tarah pighalta hun main lamha lamha
mere ehsas mein ek shoala-jabin rahta hai
dil ke darwaze pe ab kis ko sada dete ho
muddaten guzrin yahan koi nahin rahta hai
wo jo suraj ko hatheli pe liye phirta tha
unhin tarik si galiyon mein kahin rahta hai
jin fazaon mein tamannaon ka dam ghaTta hai
han mere daur ka fankar wahin rahta hai
jaane ye shauq ki hai kaun si manzil 'KHusraw'
main kahin rahta hun dil mera kahin rahta hai
