main chob-e-KHushk sahi waqt ka hun sahra mein
maiñ chob-e-ḳhushk sahī vaqt kā huuñ sahrā meñ
sahar pukārtī mujh ko to saath chaltā maiñ
mire vajūd meñ zinda sadī kā sannāTā
tah-e-zamīñ huuñ koī boltā sā dariyā maiñ
har ek zāviya mere lahū ke naam se hai
batā rahā huuñ na.ī vus.atoñ ko rastā maiñ
bahut se log to jiite hī jī ke marte haiñ
bas ek shaḳhs ki martā huuñ roz tanhā maiñ
tū aa.ina hai tirī zaat ajnabī to nahīñ
qarīb aa tujhe apnā dikhā.ūñ chehra maiñ
ye is takalluf-e-bejā kī kyā zarūrat hai
ki ek mish.al-e-jāñ thā ḳhushī se jaltā maiñ
na jaane kaun thā dasht-e-azal-abad meñ 'nisār'
jo apne aap se miltā to kyuuñ bichhaḌtā maiñ
main chob-e-KHushk sahi waqt ka hun sahra mein
sahar pukarti mujh ko to sath chalta main
mere wajud mein zinda sadi ka sannaTa
tah-e-zamin hun koi bolta sa dariya main
har ek zawiya mere lahu ke nam se hai
bata raha hun nai wusaton ko rasta main
bahut se log to jite hi ji ke marte hain
bas ek shaKHs ki marta hun roz tanha main
tu aaina hai teri zat ajnabi to nahin
qarib aa tujhe apna dikhaun chehra main
ye is takalluf-e-beja ki kya zarurat hai
ki ek mishal-e-jaan tha KHushi se jalta main
na jaane kaun tha dasht-e-azal-abad mein 'nisar'
jo apne aap se milta to kyun bichhaDta main
