main uski aankh mein wo mere dil ki sair mein tha
maiñ us kī aañkh meñ vo mere dil kī sair meñ thā
vo apne shahr meñ aur maiñ dayār-e-ġhair meñ thā
ham apne ghar se bahut duur jā ke lauT aa.e
kisī kī aañkh kā kāñTā hamāre pair meñ thā
milā to ashk-e-nadāmat kī tah meñ us kā surāġh
kisī ke dil meñ na ka.abe meñ thā na dair meñ thā
maiñ jāntā huuñ liyā jā rahā thā merā naam
maiñ dushmanoñ kī tarah us ke zikr-e-ḳhair meñ thā
na jaane kaise masā.il the apne rishtoñ meñ
sukūn sulh ke aalam meñ thā na bair meñ thā
ye aur baat ki vo sab se pahle Duub gayā
tumhārā 'tāj' bhī ḳhud-āgahī kī tair meñ thā
main us ki aankh mein wo mere dil ki sair mein tha
wo apne shahr mein aur main dayar-e-ghair mein tha
hum apne ghar se bahut dur ja ke lauT aae
kisi ki aankh ka kanTa hamare pair mein tha
mila to ashk-e-nadamat ki tah mein us ka suragh
kisi ke dil mein na kabe mein tha na dair mein tha
main jaanta hun liya ja raha tha mera nam
main dushmanon ki tarah us ke zikr-e-KHair mein tha
na jaane kaise masail the apne rishton mein
sukun sulh ke aalam mein tha na bair mein tha
ye aur baat ki wo sab se pahle Dub gaya
tumhaara 'taj' bhi KHud-agahi ki tair mein tha
