kuchh is ke siwa KHwahish-e-sada nahin rakhte
kuchh is ke sivā ḳhvāhish-e-sāda nahīñ rakhte
ham tujh se bichhaḌne kā irāda nahīñ rakhte
kab dil kī taraf lauT ke ā.eñge safīne
sahrā ke bagūle ġham-e-jāda nahīñ rakhte
kyā ḳhaak simaT pā.eñge duniyā ke bakheḌe
ham log to dāman bhī kushāda nahīñ rakhte
uḌ jā.eñge ham bhī varaq-e-ḳhāk se ik din
rañgoñ ke sivā koī libāda nahīñ rakhte
har aañkh ko ham sāġhar-o-mīnā nahīñ kahte
har aañkh pe ham tohmat-e-bāda nahīñ rakhte
qaa.em bharam apnā hai asīrī se vagarna
ham tāqat-e-parvāz ziyāda nahīñ rakhte
kuchh is ke siwa KHwahish-e-sada nahin rakhte
hum tujh se bichhaDne ka irada nahin rakhte
kab dil ki taraf lauT ke aaenge safine
sahra ke bagule gham-e-jada nahin rakhte
kya KHak simaT paenge duniya ke bakheDe
hum log to daman bhi kushada nahin rakhte
uD jaenge hum bhi waraq-e-KHak se ek din
rangon ke siwa koi libaada nahin rakhte
har aankh ko hum saghar-o-mina nahin kahte
har aankh pe hum tohmat-e-baada nahin rakhte
qaem bharam apna hai asiri se wagarna
hum taqat-e-parwaz ziyaada nahin rakhte
