main kho gaya to shahr-e-fan mein dastiyab ho gaya

maiñ kho gayā to shahr-e-fan meñ dastiyāb ho gayā

yahāñ jo harf miT gayā vahāñ kitāb ho gayā

vo ik nazar to kuchh na thī ki raah se bhaTak ga.ī

palaT ke us ko dekhnā yahī azaab ho gayā

hamārī fahm-e-nā-rasā ke vāste bachā hī kyā

ki husn-e-kā.enāt to tirā naqāb ho gayā

gunāh mere yaad kar ke zaḳhm saare hañs paḌe

lahū lahū badan mirā khilā gulāb ho gayā

ziyāñ o suud miT ga.e karam pe us ke rah ga.e

hamārī saarī zindagī kā ye hisāb ho gayā

vajūd jal ke rah gayā sharār-e-lā-shu.ūr se

bharā paḌā makān thā khañDar ḳharāb ho gayā

'suhail' shor-e-shahr se panāh ab kahīñ nahīñ

hurūf reza reza haiñ suḳhan ḳharāb ho gayā

main kho gaya to shahr-e-fan mein dastiyab ho gaya

yahan jo harf miT gaya wahan kitab ho gaya

wo ek nazar to kuchh na thi ki rah se bhaTak gai

palaT ke us ko dekhna yahi azab ho gaya

hamari fahm-e-na-rasa ke waste bacha hi kya

ki husn-e-kaenat to tera naqab ho gaya

gunah mere yaad kar ke zaKHm sare hans paDe

lahu lahu badan mera khila gulab ho gaya

ziyan o sud miT gae karam pe us ke rah gae

hamari sari zindagi ka ye hisab ho gaya

wajud jal ke rah gaya sharar-e-la-shuur se

bhara paDa makan tha khanDar KHarab ho gaya

'suhail' shor-e-shahr se panah ab kahin nahin

huruf reza reza hain suKHan KHarab ho gaya
