kunj-e-qafas se pahle ghar apna kahan na tha

kunj-e-qafas se pahle ghar apnā kahāñ na thā

aa.e yahāñ to hausla-e-āshiyāñ na thā

tujh ko samajh ke ḳhvāb meñ pahuñchā maiñ jis jagah

dekhā jo aañkh khol ke to kuchh vahāñ na thā

ik ik qadam pe ab to qayāmat kī dhuum hai

aage to ye chalan kabhī ai jān-e-jāñ na thā

Thahrī jo vasl kī to huī sub.h shaam se

but mehrbāñ hue to ḳhudā mehrbāñ na thā

kyūñkar qasam pe aaj mujhe e'tibār aa.e

kis din ḳhudā tumhāre mire darmiyāñ na thā

toḌā jo phuul bulbul-e-shaidā ke sāmne

kyā tere dil meñ dard kuchh ai bāġhbāñ na thā

kunj-e-qafas se pahle ghar apna kahan na tha

aae yahan to hausla-e-ashiyan na tha

tujh ko samajh ke KHwab mein pahuncha main jis jagah

dekha jo aankh khol ke to kuchh wahan na tha

ek ek qadam pe ab to qayamat ki dhum hai

aage to ye chalan kabhi ai jaan-e-jaan na tha

Thahri jo wasl ki to hui subh sham se

but mehrban hue to KHuda mehrban na tha

kyunkar qasam pe aaj mujhe e'tibar aae

kis din KHuda tumhaare mere darmiyan na tha

toDa jo phul bulbul-e-shaida ke samne

kya tere dil mein dard kuchh ai baghban na tha
