kitni mahfuz zindagi thi kabhi
kitnī mahfūz zindagī thī kabhī
dushmanī thī na dostī thī kabhī
ab faqat qahqahe lagātā huuñ
merī āñkhoñ meñ bhī namī thī kabhī
soch kar ab qadam uThātā huuñ
merī rāhoñ meñ gum rahī thī kabhī
ab dhuāñ hai jo pī rahe haiñ nam
aag har moḌ par lagī thī kabhī
ab to badlā hai apnā paimāna
jo burī hai vahī bhalī thī kabhī
thā safed-o-siyāh se vāqif
merī āñkhoñ meñ raushnī thī kabhī
ab to tasbīh le ke baiThe haiñ
haath meñ jin ke lablabī thī kabhī
sab kā mahbūb ek thā 'hamdam'
shahr meñ ek hī galī thī kabhī
kitni mahfuz zindagi thi kabhi
dushmani thi na dosti thi kabhi
ab faqat qahqahe lagata hun
meri aankhon mein bhi nami thi kabhi
soch kar ab qadam uThata hun
meri rahon mein gum rahi thi kabhi
ab dhuan hai jo pi rahe hain nam
aag har moD par lagi thi kabhi
ab to badla hai apna paimana
jo buri hai wahi bhali thi kabhi
tha safed-o-siyah se waqif
meri aankhon mein raushni thi kabhi
ab to tasbih le ke baiThe hain
hath mein jin ke lablabi thi kabhi
sab ka mahbub ek tha 'hamdam'
shahr mein ek hi gali thi kabhi
