kis tarah be-mauj aur Khaali rawani se hua
kis tarah be-mauj aur ḳhālī ravānī se huā
be-ḳhabar dariyā kahāñ par apne paanī se huā
baḌh rahī thī ek bastī se mirī begānagī
mas.ala merā na hal naql-e-makānī se huā
apne hone kā mujhe ḳhud hī diyā us ne subūt
āshnā us se usī kī ik nishānī se huā
kah rahā thā vo ki kaise kaT rahe the us ke din
maiñ girafta-dil bahut us kī kahānī se huā
ik jagah kī saaf aur taaza havā achchhī lagī
kuchh ilāj-e-dil vahāñ ke saada paanī se huā
kis qadar ġham-ḳhvār thā vo shahr aur hamdard log
is kā kuchh andāza apnī rā.egānī se huā
rut badal jaane se piilā paḌ gayā farsh-e-chaman
zard peḌoñ kā badan barg-e-ḳhizānī se huā
kar rahā huuñ maiñ zabāñ ko ik banāvaT se rihā
lafz zinda phir mirī sāda-bayānī se huā
mere us ke darmiyāñ jaise kabhī kuchh bhī na thā
aisā 'shāhīñ' bas zarā sī bad-gumānī se huā
kis tarah be-mauj aur KHali rawani se hua
be-KHabar dariya kahan par apne pani se hua
baDh rahi thi ek basti se meri beganagi
masala mera na hal naql-e-makani se hua
apne hone ka mujhe KHud hi diya us ne subut
aashna us se usi ki ek nishani se hua
kah raha tha wo ki kaise kaT rahe the us ke din
main girafta-dil bahut us ki kahani se hua
ek jagah ki saf aur taza hawa achchhi lagi
kuchh ilaj-e-dil wahan ke sada pani se hua
kis qadar gham-KHwar tha wo shahr aur hamdard log
is ka kuchh andaza apni raegani se hua
rut badal jaane se pila paD gaya farsh-e-chaman
zard peDon ka badan barg-e-KHizani se hua
kar raha hun main zaban ko ek banawaT se riha
lafz zinda phir meri sada-bayani se hua
mere us ke darmiyan jaise kabhi kuchh bhi na tha
aisa 'shahin' bas zara si bad-gumani se hua
