kisht-e-dil viran sahi tuKHm-e-hawas boya nahin
kisht-e-dil vīrāñ sahī tuḳhm-e-havas boyā nahīñ
ḳhvāhishoñ kā bojh maiñ ne aaj tak Dhoyā nahīñ
us kī āñkhoñ meñ bichhā hai surḳh tahrīroñ kā jaal
aisā lagtā hai ki ik muddat se vo soyā nahīñ
ḳhvāb kī anjān khiḌkī meñ nazar aayā thā jo
zehn ne us chehra-e-mānūs ko khoyā nahīñ
ek muddat par mile bhī to na milne kī tarah
is tarah ḳhāmosh ho muñh meñ zabāñ goyā nahīñ
maiñ ne apnī ḳhvāhishoñ kā qatl ḳhud hī kar diyā
haath ḳhūn-ālūd haiñ in ko abhī dhoyā nahīñ
dekh kar hoñToñ pe mere muskurāhaT kī lakīr
vo samajhte haiñ ki 'aslam' maiñ kabhī royā nahīñ
kisht-e-dil viran sahi tuKHm-e-hawas boya nahin
KHwahishon ka bojh main ne aaj tak Dhoya nahin
us ki aankhon mein bichha hai surKH tahriron ka jal
aisa lagta hai ki ek muddat se wo soya nahin
KHwab ki anjaan khiDki mein nazar aaya tha jo
zehn ne us chehra-e-manus ko khoya nahin
ek muddat par mile bhi to na milne ki tarah
is tarah KHamosh ho munh mein zaban goya nahin
main ne apni KHwahishon ka qatl KHud hi kar diya
hath KHun-alud hain in ko abhi dhoya nahin
dekh kar honTon pe mere muskurahaT ki lakir
wo samajhte hain ki 'aslam' main kabhi roya nahin
