kyun kahun koi qad-awar nahin aaya ab tak
kyuuñ kahūñ koī qad-āvar nahīñ aayā ab tak
haañ mire qad ke barābar nahīñ aayā ab tak
ek muddat se huuñ maiñ sīna-sipar maidāñ meñ
hamla-āvar koī baḌh kar nahīñ aayā ab tak
ye to dariyā haiñ jo aape se guzar jaate haiñ
josh meñ varna samundar nahīñ aayā ab tak
hoñge manzil se ham-āġhosh ye ummīd bañdhī
rāste meñ koī patthar nahīñ aayā ab tak
kyā zamāne meñ koī gosh-bar-āvāz nahīñ
koī bhī dil kī sadā par nahīñ aayā ab tak
jaane kyā baat hai saaqī ki tirī mahfil meñ
jo gayā baḌh vo palaT kar nahīñ aayā ab tak
intihā ye hai ki pathrā ga.iiñ āñkheñ apnī
sāmne vo parī-paikar nahīñ aayā ab tak
kyā karishma hai dur-e-ashk-e-mohabbat apnā
sadaf-e-chashm se bāhar nahīñ aayā ab tak
muntazir huuñ maiñ kafan bāñdh ke sar se 'ājiz'
sāmne se koī ḳhanjar nahīñ aayā ab tak
kyun kahun koi qad-awar nahin aaya ab tak
han mere qad ke barabar nahin aaya ab tak
ek muddat se hun main sina-sipar maidan mein
hamla-awar koi baDh kar nahin aaya ab tak
ye to dariya hain jo aape se guzar jate hain
josh mein warna samundar nahin aaya ab tak
honge manzil se ham-aghosh ye ummid bandhi
raste mein koi patthar nahin aaya ab tak
kya zamane mein koi gosh-bar-awaz nahin
koi bhi dil ki sada par nahin aaya ab tak
jaane kya baat hai saqi ki teri mahfil mein
jo gaya baDh wo palaT kar nahin aaya ab tak
intiha ye hai ki pathra gain aankhen apni
samne wo pari-paikar nahin aaya ab tak
kya karishma hai dur-e-ashk-e-mohabbat apna
sadaf-e-chashm se bahar nahin aaya ab tak
muntazir hun main kafan bandh ke sar se 'ajiz'
samne se koi KHanjar nahin aaya ab tak
