main us ka nam ghule paniyon pe likhta kya
maiñ us kā naam ghule pāniyoñ pe likhtā kyā
vo ek mauj-e-ravāñ hai kahīñ pe ruktā kyā
tamām harf mire lab pe aa ke jam se ga.e
na jaane maiñ ne kahā kyā aur us ne samjhā kyā
sabhoñ ko apnī ġharaz thī sabhoñ ko apnī baqā
mire liye mire nazdīk koī aatā kyā
ubhartā chāñd mirā ham-safar thā dariyā meñ
maiñ Dūbte hue sūraj ko muḌ ke taktā kyā
parinde ghar kī muñDeroñ pe aa ke baiTh ga.e
maiñ ajnabī thā ishāra koī samajhtā kyā
firāq o vasl to tasvīreñ un ke naam kī haiñ
maiñ in meñ rañg kisī ke lahū se bhartā kyā
maiñ apne ghar meñ nahīñ thā magar kahīñ bhī na thā
udhar se mujh ko guzarte kisī ne dekhā kyā
tamām shahr ravāñ hai mire ta.āqub meñ
maiñ aap kyā mire ghar kī taraf ko rastā kyā
ye raushnī kabhī pahle na thī yahāñ 'aḳhtar'
sitāra raat kī palkoñ pe koī chamkā kyā
main us ka nam ghule paniyon pe likhta kya
wo ek mauj-e-rawan hai kahin pe rukta kya
tamam harf mere lab pe aa ke jam se gae
na jaane main ne kaha kya aur us ne samjha kya
sabhon ko apni gharaz thi sabhon ko apni baqa
mere liye mere nazdik koi aata kya
ubharta chand mera ham-safar tha dariya mein
main Dubte hue suraj ko muD ke takta kya
parinde ghar ki munDeron pe aa ke baiTh gae
main ajnabi tha ishaara koi samajhta kya
firaq o wasl to taswiren un ke nam ki hain
main in mein rang kisi ke lahu se bharta kya
main apne ghar mein nahin tha magar kahin bhi na tha
udhar se mujh ko guzarte kisi ne dekha kya
tamam shahr rawan hai mere taaqub mein
main aap kya mere ghar ki taraf ko rasta kya
ye raushni kabhi pahle na thi yahan 'aKHtar'
sitara raat ki palkon pe koi chamka kya
