kin lafzon mein itni kaDwi itni kasili baat likhun
kin lafzoñ meñ itnī kaḌvī itnī kasīlī baat likhūñ
sher kī maiñ tahzīb banā huuñ yā apne hālāt likhūñ
ġham nahīñ likkhūñ kyā maiñ ġham ko jashn likhūñ kyā mātam ko
jo dekhe haiñ maiñ ne janāze kyā un ko bārāt likhūñ
kaise likhūñ maiñ chāñd ke qisse kaise likhūñ maiñ phuul kī baat
ret uḌaa.e garm havā to kaise maiñ barsāt likhūñ
kis kis kī āñkhoñ meñ dekhe maiñ ne zahr bujhe ḳhanjar
ḳhud se bhī jo maiñ ne chhupā.e kaise vo sadmāt likhūñ
taḳht kī ḳhvāhish luuT kī lālach kamzoroñ par zulm kā shauq
lekin un kā farmānā hai maiñ in ko jazbāt likhūñ
qātil bhī maqtūl bhī donoñ naam ḳhudā kā lete the
koī ḳhudā hai to vo kahāñ thā merī kyā auqāt likhūñ
apnī apnī tārīkī ko log ujālā kahte haiñ
tārīkī ke naam likhūñ to qaumeñ firqe zaat likhūñ
jaane ye kaisā daur hai jis meñ jur.at bhī to mushkil hai
din ho agar to us ko likhūñ din raat agar ho raat likhūñ
kin lafzon mein itni kaDwi itni kasili baat likhun
sher ki main tahzib bana hun ya apne haalat likhun
gham nahin likkhun kya main gham ko jashn likhun kya matam ko
jo dekhe hain main ne janaze kya un ko baraat likhun
kaise likhun main chand ke qisse kaise likhun main phul ki baat
ret uDae garm hawa to kaise main barsat likhun
kis kis ki aankhon mein dekhe main ne zahr bujhe KHanjar
KHud se bhi jo main ne chhupae kaise wo sadmat likhun
taKHt ki KHwahish luT ki lalach kamzoron par zulm ka shauq
lekin un ka farmana hai main in ko jazbaat likhun
qatil bhi maqtul bhi donon nam KHuda ka lete the
koi KHuda hai to wo kahan tha meri kya auqat likhun
apni apni tariki ko log ujala kahte hain
tariki ke nam likhun to qaumen firqe zat likhun
jaane ye kaisa daur hai jis mein jurat bhi to mushkil hai
din ho agar to us ko likhun din raat agar ho raat likhun
