main us se baat karne ja chuka tha
maiñ us se baat karne jā chukā thā
magar vo shaḳhs aage jā chukā thā
mujhe dariyā ne phir uupar bulāyā
maiñ us kī had se nīche jā chukā thā
tire naqsh-e-qadam par chalte chalte
maiñ tujh se kitnā aage jā chukā thā
paḌhā.ī ḳhatm karke jab maiñ lauTā
koī afsar use le jā chukā thā
vo chalne ko to raazī ho ga.ī thī
magar jab maiñ akele jā chukā thā
sadā.eñ de rahā thā vo palaT kar
magar maiñ apne raste jā chukā thā
maiñ ḳhud ko rok bhī saktā thā 'tābish'
ki merā vaqt pīchhe jā chukā thā
main us se baat karne ja chuka tha
magar wo shaKHs aage ja chuka tha
mujhe dariya ne phir upar bulaya
main us ki had se niche ja chuka tha
tere naqsh-e-qadam par chalte chalte
main tujh se kitna aage ja chuka tha
paDhai KHatm karke jab main lauTa
koi afsar use le ja chuka tha
wo chalne ko to raazi ho gai thi
magar jab main akele ja chuka tha
sadaen de raha tha wo palaT kar
magar main apne raste ja chuka tha
main KHud ko rok bhi sakta tha 'tabish'
ki mera waqt pichhe ja chuka tha
