khaDa tha kaun kahan kuchh pata chala hi nahin
khaḌā thā kaun kahāñ kuchh patā chalā hī nahīñ
maiñ rāste meñ kisī moḌ par rukā hī nahīñ
havā.eñ tez thiiñ itnī ki ek dil ke sivā
koī charāġh sar-e-rahguzar jalā hī nahīñ
kahāñ se ḳhanjar-o-shamshīr āzmātā maiñ
mire adū se mirā sāmnā huā hī nahīñ
dukhoñ kī aag meñ har shaḳhs jal ke raakh huā
kisī ġharīb ke dil se dhuāñ uThā hī nahīñ
hamārā shahr-e-tamannā bahut hasīñ thā magar
ujaḌ ke rah gayā aisā ki phir basā hī nahīñ
vo ban gayā mirā nāqid patā nahīñ kyuuñ kar
mirā kalām to us ne kabhī paḌhā hī nahīñ
maiñ apne daur kī āvāz thā magar 'ḳhāvar'
kisī ne bazm-e-jahāñ meñ mujhe sunā hī nahīñ
khaDa tha kaun kahan kuchh pata chala hi nahin
main raste mein kisi moD par ruka hi nahin
hawaen tez thin itni ki ek dil ke siwa
koi charagh sar-e-rahguzar jala hi nahin
kahan se KHanjar-o-shamshir aazmata main
mere adu se mera samna hua hi nahin
dukhon ki aag mein har shaKHs jal ke rakh hua
kisi gharib ke dil se dhuan uTha hi nahin
hamara shahr-e-tamanna bahut hasin tha magar
ujaD ke rah gaya aisa ki phir basa hi nahin
wo ban gaya mera naqid pata nahin kyun kar
mera kalam to us ne kabhi paDha hi nahin
main apne daur ki aawaz tha magar 'KHawar'
kisi ne bazm-e-jahan mein mujhe suna hi nahin
