lau aaftab-ru se lagana nahin hai kya
lau āftāb-rū se lagānā nahīñ hai kyā
bhīgā huā vujūd sukhānā nahīñ hai kyā
patthar paḌe haiñ raah ke be-ḳhānumāñ-ḳharāb
ab shahr meñ koī bhī divāna nahīñ hai kyā
hir-phir ke chand harf vahī aur vahī ik ism
lafzoñ kā tere paas ḳhazāna nahīñ hai kyā
aisī bhī jaldī kyā hai kahīñ rahravān-e-'umr
karne ko ziist koī bahāna nahīñ hai kyā
ghuTnoñ meñ sar diye hue baiThe ho der se
kyā rog koī jī ko lagānā nahīñ hai kyā
sahrā meñ gard uḌāoge 'sāqib' kahāñ talak
ābādiyāñ bulātī haiñ jaanā nahīñ hai kyā
lau aaftab-ru se lagana nahin hai kya
bhiga hua wujud sukhana nahin hai kya
patthar paDe hain rah ke be-KHanuman-KHarab
ab shahr mein koi bhi diwana nahin hai kya
hir-phir ke chand harf wahi aur wahi ek ism
lafzon ka tere pas KHazana nahin hai kya
aisi bhi jaldi kya hai kahin rahrawan-e-'umr
karne ko zist koi bahana nahin hai kya
ghuTnon mein sar diye hue baiThe ho der se
kya rog koi ji ko lagana nahin hai kya
sahra mein gard uDaoge 'saqib' kahan talak
aabaadiyan bulati hain jaana nahin hai kya
