lahu ka dagh na tha zaKHm ka nishan na tha
lahū kā daaġh na thā zaḳhm kā nishān na thā
vo mar chukā thā kisī ko magar gumān na thā
maiñ chal paḌā thā kahīñ ajnabī dishāoñ meñ
havā kā zor thā kashtī meñ bādbān na thā
maiñ us makān meñ muddat se qaid thā ki jahāñ
koī zamīn na thī koī āsamān na thā
mirī shikast mirī fat.h kuchh nahīñ ya.anī
vo hādsa thā koī merā imtihān na thā
tumhāre daur meñ har aadmī hai but kī tarah
hamāre ahd meñ patthar bhī be-zabān na thā
kisī khañDar meñ hī mujh ko diyā jalānā paḌā
chamakte shahr meñ merā koī makān na thā
maiñ sabz rañg kā chashma pahan chukā thā 'kalīm'
mirī nigāh meñ manzar lahūluhān na thā
lahu ka dagh na tha zaKHm ka nishan na tha
wo mar chuka tha kisi ko magar guman na tha
main chal paDa tha kahin ajnabi dishaon mein
hawa ka zor tha kashti mein baadban na tha
main us makan mein muddat se qaid tha ki jahan
koi zamin na thi koi aasaman na tha
meri shikast meri fath kuchh nahin yani
wo hadsa tha koi mera imtihan na tha
tumhaare daur mein har aadmi hai but ki tarah
hamare ahd mein patthar bhi be-zaban na tha
kisi khanDar mein hi mujh ko diya jalana paDa
chamakte shahr mein mera koi makan na tha
main sabz rang ka chashma pahan chuka tha 'kalim'
meri nigah mein manzar lahuluhan na tha
