KHizan ke chand ne puchha ye jhuk ke khiDki mein
ḳhizāñ ke chāñd ne pūchhā ye jhuk ke khiḌkī meñ
kabhī charāġh bhī jaltā hai is havelī meñ
ye aadmī haiñ ki saa.e haiñ ādamiyyat ke
guzar huā hai mirā kis ujaaḌ bastī meñ
jhukī chaTān phisaltī giraft jhūltā jism
maiñ ab girā hī girā tañg-o-tār ghāTī meñ
zamāne bhar se nirālī hai aap kī mantiq
nadī ko paar kiyā kis ne ulTī kashtī meñ
jalā.e kyuuñ agar itne hī qīmtī the ḳhutūt
kuredte ho abas raakh ab añgeThī meñ
ajab nahīñ jo ugeñ yaañ daraḳht paanī ke
ki ashk bo.e haiñ shab bhar kisī ne dhartī meñ
mirī giraft meñ aa kar nikal ga.ī titlī
paroñ ke rañg magar rah ga.e haiñ muTThī meñ
chaloge saath mire āgahī kī sarhad tak
ye rahguzār utartī hai gahre paanī meñ
maiñ apnī be-ḳhabarī se 'shakeb' vāqif huuñ
batāo pech haiñ kitne tumhārī pagḌī meñ
KHizan ke chand ne puchha ye jhuk ke khiDki mein
kabhi charagh bhi jalta hai is haweli mein
ye aadmi hain ki sae hain aadamiyyat ke
guzar hua hai mera kis ujaD basti mein
jhuki chaTan phisalti giraft jhulta jism
main ab gira hi gira tang-o-tar ghaTi mein
zamane bhar se nirali hai aap ki mantiq
nadi ko par kiya kis ne ulTi kashti mein
jalae kyun agar itne hi qimti the KHutut
kuredte ho abas rakh ab angeThi mein
ajab nahin jo ugen yan daraKHt pani ke
ki ashk boe hain shab bhar kisi ne dharti mein
meri giraft mein aa kar nikal gai titli
paron ke rang magar rah gae hain muTThi mein
chaloge sath mere aagahi ki sarhad tak
ye rahguzar utarti hai gahre pani mein
main apni be-KHabari se 'shakeb' waqif hun
batao pech hain kitne tumhaari pagDi mein
