koi maqam-e-sukun raste mein aaya nahin
koī maqām-e-sukūñ rāste meñ aayā nahīñ
hazār peḌ haiñ lekin kahīñ bhī saayā nahīñ
kise pukāre koī āhaToñ ke sahrā meñ
yahāñ kabhī koī chehra nazar to aayā nahīñ
bhaTak rahe haiñ abhī tak musāfirān-e-visāl
tire jamāl ne koī diyā jalāyā nahīñ
bikhar gayā hai ḳhalā meñ kiran karan ho kar
vo chāñd jo kisī pahlū meñ jagmagāyā nahīñ
taras ga.ī hai zamīñ bādaloñ kī sūrat ko
kisī nadī ne koī giit gungunāyā nahīñ
ujaḌ gayā thā kisī zalzale meñ shahr-e-vafā
na jaane phir use ham ne bhī kyuuñ basāyā nahīñ
'qatīl' kaise kaTegī ye dopahar ġham kī
mire nasīb meñ un gesuoñ kā saayā nahīñ
koi maqam-e-sukun raste mein aaya nahin
hazar peD hain lekin kahin bhi saya nahin
kise pukare koi aahaTon ke sahra mein
yahan kabhi koi chehra nazar to aaya nahin
bhaTak rahe hain abhi tak musafiran-e-visal
tere jamal ne koi diya jalaya nahin
bikhar gaya hai KHala mein kiran karan ho kar
wo chand jo kisi pahlu mein jagmagaya nahin
taras gai hai zamin baadalon ki surat ko
kisi nadi ne koi git gungunaya nahin
ujaD gaya tha kisi zalzale mein shahr-e-wafa
na jaane phir use hum ne bhi kyun basaya nahin
'qatil' kaise kaTegi ye dopahar gham ki
mere nasib mein un gesuon ka saya nahin
