main surKH phul ko chhu kar palaTne wala tha
maiñ surḳh phuul ko chhū kar palaTne vaalā thā
vo jazb thā ki mirā jism kaTne vaalā thā
us ek rañg se paidā huī ye qaus-e-quzah
vo ek rañg jo manzar se ha.Tne vaalā thā
mire qarīb hī ik taaq meñ kitābeñ thiiñ
magar ye dhyān kahīñ aur baTne vaalā thā
ajiib shaan se utrī thī dhuup ḳhvāhish kī
maiñ apne saa.e se jaise lipaTne vaalā thā
tavīl guftugū hotī rahī sitāroñ se
nigār-ḳhāna-e-hastī ulaTne vaalā thā
zamīñ pe āmad-e-ādam kā shor barpā huā
vagarna rizq farishtoñ meñ baTne vaalā thā
ḳhudā kā shukr hai nashsha utar gayā merā
ki maiñ subū meñ samundar ulaTne vaalā thā
lapak rahī thī koī aag is taraf 'āzar'
maiñ us se duur bahut duur ha.Tne vaalā thā
main surKH phul ko chhu kar palaTne wala tha
wo jazb tha ki mera jism kaTne wala tha
us ek rang se paida hui ye qaus-e-quzah
wo ek rang jo manzar se haTne wala tha
mere qarib hi ek taq mein kitaben thin
magar ye dhyan kahin aur baTne wala tha
ajib shan se utri thi dhup KHwahish ki
main apne sae se jaise lipaTne wala tha
tawil guftugu hoti rahi sitaron se
nigar-KHana-e-hasti ulaTne wala tha
zamin pe aamad-e-adam ka shor barpa hua
wagarna rizq farishton mein baTne wala tha
KHuda ka shukr hai nashsha utar gaya mera
ki main subu mein samundar ulaTne wala tha
lapak rahi thi koi aag is taraf 'azar'
main us se dur bahut dur haTne wala tha
