Khaali sharab-e-ishq se saghar kabhi na the
ḳhālī sharāb-e-ishq se sāġhar kabhī na the
aise to ḳhushk dil ke samundar kabhī na the
jo sañg-e-ehtisāb yagānoñ ke paas haiñ
dushman ke haath meñ bhī vo patthar kabhī na the
kis samt jā rahe haiñ unheñ ḳhud patā nahīñ
yuuñ be-ḳhabar to raah se rahbar kabhī na the
dil TukḌe TukḌe ho gayā zaḳhmī hai ruuh bhī
itne to tez vaqt ke nashtar kabhī na the
miltā nahīñ kahīñ bhī dar-o-bām kā nishāñ
ham ghar meñ rah ke itne to be-ghar kabhī na the
kyā jāneñ kyā huiiñ vo hasīñ shoḳhiyāñ 'hayāt'
aise niDhāl phuul se paikar kabhī na the
KHali sharab-e-ishq se saghar kabhi na the
aise to KHushk dil ke samundar kabhi na the
jo sang-e-ehtisab yaganon ke pas hain
dushman ke hath mein bhi wo patthar kabhi na the
kis samt ja rahe hain unhen KHud pata nahin
yun be-KHabar to rah se rahbar kabhi na the
dil TukDe TukDe ho gaya zaKHmi hai ruh bhi
itne to tez waqt ke nashtar kabhi na the
milta nahin kahin bhi dar-o-baam ka nishan
hum ghar mein rah ke itne to be-ghar kabhi na the
kya jaanen kya huin wo hasin shoKHiyan 'hayat'
aise niDhaal phul se paikar kabhi na the
