main ki KHush hota tha dariya ki rawani dekh kar
maiñ ki ḳhush hotā thā dariyā kī ravānī dekh kar
kaañp uTThā huuñ galī-kūchoñ meñ paanī dekh kar
ho koī bahrūp us kā dil dhaḌaktā hai zarūr
maiñ use pahchān letā huuñ nishānī dekh kar
adh-khule tanhā darīchoñ kā mujhe aayā ḳhayāl
nīm-vā āñkhoñ kī rañgat āsmānī dekh kar
abr ke TukḌoñ ne dīvāreñ banā diiñ jā-ba-jā
dhuup se jaltī fazā kī be-karānī dekh kar
ek lamhe meñ kaTā hai muddatoñ kā fāsla
maiñ abhī aayā huuñ tasvīreñ purānī dekh kar
aañkh ke bādal se kahtā hai ki duniyā par baras
dil lab o ruḳhsār kī sho.ala-fishānī dekh kar
kis taraf le jā.egī so.e hue logoñ ko raat
Dar rahā huuñ us kī āñkhoñ meñ girānī dekh kar
din vahīñ par kāTnā ham ko qayāmat ho gayā
aan baiThe the jahāñ sub.heñ suhānī dekh kar
dil meñ jo kuchh hai zabāñ kā zā.iqa bantā nahīñ
lafz chehra Dhāñp lete haiñ ma.ānī dekh kar
dil na jaane kaun sī gahrā.iyoñ meñ kho gayā
bahr kī maujoñ kī tahrīroñ ko faanī dekh kar
der se 'shahzād' kunj-e-āfiyat meñ the asiir
ḳhush huā hai dil balā-e-nā-gahānī dekh kar
main ki KHush hota tha dariya ki rawani dekh kar
kanp uTTha hun gali-kuchon mein pani dekh kar
ho koi bahrup us ka dil dhaDakta hai zarur
main use pahchan leta hun nishani dekh kar
adh-khule tanha darichon ka mujhe aaya KHayal
nim-wa aankhon ki rangat aasmani dekh kar
abr ke TukDon ne diwaren bana din ja-ba-ja
dhup se jalti faza ki be-karani dekh kar
ek lamhe mein kaTa hai muddaton ka fasla
main abhi aaya hun taswiren purani dekh kar
aankh ke baadal se kahta hai ki duniya par baras
dil lab o ruKHsar ki shoala-fishani dekh kar
kis taraf le jaegi soe hue logon ko raat
Dar raha hun us ki aankhon mein girani dekh kar
din wahin par kaTna hum ko qayamat ho gaya
aan baiThe the jahan subhen suhani dekh kar
dil mein jo kuchh hai zaban ka zaiqa banta nahin
lafz chehra Dhanp lete hain maani dekh kar
dil na jaane kaun si gahraiyon mein kho gaya
bahr ki maujon ki tahriron ko fani dekh kar
der se 'shahzad' kunj-e-afiyat mein the asir
KHush hua hai dil bala-e-na-gahani dekh kar
