manzilon ke fasle diwar-o-dar mein rah gae
manziloñ ke fāsle dīvār-o-dar meñ rah ga.e
kyā safar thā mere saare ḳhvāb ghar meñ rah ga.e
ab koī tasvīr bhī apnī jagah qaa.em nahīñ
ab havā ke rañg hī merī nazar meñ rah ga.e
jitne manzar the mire ham-rāh ghar tak aa.e haiñ
aur pas-e-manzar savād-e-rah-guzar meñ rah ga.e
apne qadmoñ ke nishāñ bhī band kamroñ meñ rahe
tāqchoñ par bhī diye ḳhālī nagar meñ rah ga.e
kar ga.ī hai naam se ġhāfil hameñ apnī shanāḳht
sirf āvāzoñ ke saa.e hī ḳhabar meñ rah ga.e
nā-ḳhudāoñ ne palaT kar jaane kyuuñ dekhā nahīñ
kashtiyoñ ke to ka.ī taḳhte bhañvar meñ rah ga.e
kaisī kaisī āhaTeñ alfāz kā paikar banīñ
kaise kaise aks merī chashm-e-tar meñ rah ga.e
haath kī saarī lakīreñ paañv ke talvoñ meñ thiiñ
aur mere ham-safar gard-e-safar meñ rah ga.e
kyā hujūm-e-rañg 'aḳhtar' kyā faroġh-e-bu-e-gul
mausamoñ ke zā.iqe būḌhe shajar meñ rah ga.e
manzilon ke fasle diwar-o-dar mein rah gae
kya safar tha mere sare KHwab ghar mein rah gae
ab koi taswir bhi apni jagah qaem nahin
ab hawa ke rang hi meri nazar mein rah gae
jitne manzar the mere ham-rah ghar tak aae hain
aur pas-e-manzar sawad-e-rah-guzar mein rah gae
apne qadmon ke nishan bhi band kamron mein rahe
taqchon par bhi diye KHali nagar mein rah gae
kar gai hai nam se ghafil hamein apni shanaKHt
sirf aawazon ke sae hi KHabar mein rah gae
na-KHudaon ne palaT kar jaane kyun dekha nahin
kashtiyon ke to kai taKHte bhanwar mein rah gae
kaisi kaisi aahaTen alfaz ka paikar banin
kaise kaise aks meri chashm-e-tar mein rah gae
hath ki sari lakiren panw ke talwon mein thin
aur mere ham-safar gard-e-safar mein rah gae
kya hujum-e-rang 'aKHtar' kya farogh-e-bu-e-gul
mausamon ke zaiqe buDhe shajar mein rah gae
