kya mera iKHtiyar zaman-o-makan par
kyā merā iḳhtiyār zamān-o-makān par
pahre biThā diye haiñ kisī shai ne dhaan par
tujh se bichhaḌ ke ghar kī taraf lauTte hue
kyuuñ bastiyoñ kā vahm huā har chaTān par
hasrat rahī ki sūrat-e-āb-e-ravāñ chaleñ
kab se misāl-e-sañg paḌe haiñ Dhalān par
thī jin kī dastaras meñ havā pā-ba-gil hue
ai musht-e-ḳhāk zo.am kahāñ kā uḌaan par
haañ aarzū to dil meñ kabhī se hai zaḳhm kī
kyā apnā iḳhtiyār kisī kī kamān par
Dhalne lagī hai shaam mire ḳhāk-dāñ kī ḳhair
shoa.la-fishāñ huī hai shafaq āsmān par
'shāhid' tamām umr phirā dar-ba-dar magar
dastak na de sakā kabhī apne makān par
kya mera iKHtiyar zaman-o-makan par
pahre biTha diye hain kisi shai ne dhan par
tujh se bichhaD ke ghar ki taraf lauTte hue
kyun bastiyon ka wahm hua har chaTan par
hasrat rahi ki surat-e-ab-e-rawan chalen
kab se misal-e-sang paDe hain Dhalan par
thi jin ki dastaras mein hawa pa-ba-gil hue
ai musht-e-KHak zoam kahan ka uDan par
han aarzu to dil mein kabhi se hai zaKHm ki
kya apna iKHtiyar kisi ki kaman par
Dhalne lagi hai sham mere KHak-dan ki KHair
shoala-fishan hui hai shafaq aasman par
'shahid' tamam umr phira dar-ba-dar magar
dastak na de saka kabhi apne makan par
