KHayal wo bhi mere zehn ke makan mein tha
ḳhayāl vo bhī mire zehn ke makān meñ thā
jo aaj tak na makīn-e-gumāñ ke dhyān meñ thā
vo dekhtā rahā hasrat se āsmāñ kī taraf
chhupā huā vo parinda jo sā.ebān meñ thā
zamīñ pe koī samā.at thī muntazir merī
sadā kī shakl muallaq maiñ āsmān meñ thā
mirā nasīb to ḳhushiyoñ kī bhiiḌ meñ aksar
charāġh kī tarah raushan kisī dukān meñ thā
kabhī mujhe bhī to karnā paḌegā samjhauta
bahut dinoñ se ye ḳhadsha mire gumān meñ thā
tire savāl kā kaise javāb detā maiñ
ki jab maiñ khoyā huā fikr kī uḌaan meñ thā
vahī to aag lagātā phirā gulistāñ meñ
jo 'ahsan' ahl-e-chaman meñ na bāġhbān meñ thā
KHayal wo bhi mere zehn ke makan mein tha
jo aaj tak na makin-e-guman ke dhyan mein tha
wo dekhta raha hasrat se aasman ki taraf
chhupa hua wo parinda jo saeban mein tha
zamin pe koi samaat thi muntazir meri
sada ki shakl muallaq main aasman mein tha
mera nasib to KHushiyon ki bhiD mein aksar
charagh ki tarah raushan kisi dukan mein tha
kabhi mujhe bhi to karna paDega samjhauta
bahut dinon se ye KHadsha mere guman mein tha
tere sawal ka kaise jawab deta main
ki jab main khoya hua fikr ki uDan mein tha
wahi to aag lagata phira gulistan mein
jo 'ahsan' ahl-e-chaman mein na baghban mein tha
