main akela hun yahan mere siwa koi nahin
maiñ akelā huuñ yahāñ mere sivā koī nahīñ
chal rahā huuñ aur merā naqsh-e-pā koī nahīñ
zehn ke tārīk goshoñ se uThī thī ik sadā
maiñ ne pūchhā kaun hai us ne kahā koī nahīñ
dekh kar har ek shai kā faisla karte haiñ log
aañkh kī putlī meñ kyā hai dekhtā koī nahīñ
kis ko pahchānūñ ki har pahchān mushkil ho ga.ī
ḳhud-numā sab log haiñ aur rūnumā koī nahīñ
naqsh-e-hairat ban ga.ī duniyā sitāroñ kī tarah
sab kī sab āñkheñ khulī haiñ jāgtā koī nahīñ
ghar meñ ye mānūs sī ḳhushbū kahāñ se aa ga.ī
is ḳharābe meñ agar aayā gayā koī nahīñ
paikar-e-gul āsmānoñ ke liye betāb hai
ḳhaak kahtī hai ki mujh sā dūsrā koī nahīñ
umr bhar kī talḳhiyāñ de kar vo ruḳhsat ho gayā
aaj ke din ke sivā roz-e-jazā koī nahīñ
main akela hun yahan mere siwa koi nahin
chal raha hun aur mera naqsh-e-pa koi nahin
zehn ke tarik goshon se uThi thi ek sada
main ne puchha kaun hai us ne kaha koi nahin
dekh kar har ek shai ka faisla karte hain log
aankh ki putli mein kya hai dekhta koi nahin
kis ko pahchanun ki har pahchan mushkil ho gai
KHud-numa sab log hain aur runuma koi nahin
naqsh-e-hairat ban gai duniya sitaron ki tarah
sab ki sab aankhen khuli hain jagta koi nahin
ghar mein ye manus si KHushbu kahan se aa gai
is KHarabe mein agar aaya gaya koi nahin
paikar-e-gul aasmanon ke liye betab hai
KHak kahti hai ki mujh sa dusra koi nahin
umr bhar ki talKHiyan de kar wo ruKHsat ho gaya
aaj ke din ke siwa roz-e-jaza koi nahin
