kiya hai KHud hi giran zist ka safar maine
kiyā hai ḳhud hī girāñ ziist kā safar maiñ ne
katar liye the kabhī apne bāl-o-par maiñ ne
yuuñ apnī zaat meñ ab qaid ho ke baiThā huuñ
ḳhud apne gird uThā.e the bām-o-dar maiñ ne
badal ga.e ḳhat o ma.anī ka.ī zabānoñ ke
jab e'tirāf-e-junūñ kar liyā hunar maiñ ne
tū merī tishna-labī par savāl kartā hai
samundaroñ pe banāyā thā apnā ghar maiñ ne
jo aaj phir se mire bāl-o-par nikal aa.e
to terī raah ke kaTvā diye shajar maiñ ne
maiñ us kī zaat pe yuuñ tabsira nahīñ kartā
ki puure qad se to dekhā nahīñ magar maiñ ne
maiñ chāñd raat kā bhaTkā huā musāfir thā
añdherī raat meñ tanhā kiyā safar maiñ ne
maiñ be-libās to aayā thā bā-libās gayā
ye zād-e-rāh kamāyā rah-e-hunar maiñ ne
vafūr-e-harf ke virse kī aarzū meñ 'sa.īd'
sunā hai 'mīr' aur 'mirzā' kabhī 'jigar' maiñ ne
kiya hai KHud hi giran zist ka safar main ne
katar liye the kabhi apne baal-o-par main ne
yun apni zat mein ab qaid ho ke baiTha hun
KHud apne gird uThae the baam-o-dar main ne
badal gae KHat o mani kai zabanon ke
jab e'tiraf-e-junun kar liya hunar main ne
tu meri tishna-labi par sawal karta hai
samundaron pe banaya tha apna ghar main ne
jo aaj phir se mere baal-o-par nikal aae
to teri rah ke kaTwa diye shajar main ne
main us ki zat pe yun tabsira nahin karta
ki pure qad se to dekha nahin magar main ne
main chand raat ka bhaTka hua musafir tha
andheri raat mein tanha kiya safar main ne
main be-libas to aaya tha ba-libas gaya
ye zad-e-rah kamaya rah-e-hunar main ne
wafur-e-harf ke wirse ki aarzu mein 'said'
suna hai 'mir' aur 'mirza' kabhi 'jigar' main ne
