mauj-e-KHayal mein na kisi jal-pari mein aae
mauj-e-ḳhayāl meñ na kisī jal-parī meñ aa.e
dariyā ke saare rañg mirī tishnagī meñ aa.e
phir ek roz aan milā abr-e-ham-mizāj
miTTī numū-e-pazīr huī tāzgī meñ aa.e
dāman bachā rahe the ki chehra bhī jal gayā
kis aag se guzar ke tirī raushnī meñ aa.e
ye maiñ huuñ mere ḳhvāb ye shamshīr-e-be-niyām
ab terā iḳhtiyār hai jo tere jī meñ aa.e
ik baar is jahān se mil lenā chāhiye
aisā na ho ki phir ye faqat ḳhvāb hī meñ aa.e
āñkhoñ meñ vo lapak hai na siine meñ vo alaav
is baar us se kahnā zarā sādgī meñ aa.e
tanhā udaas dekh rahā thā maiñ chāñd ko
ye phuul bahte bahte kahāñ se nadī meñ aa.e
thak-hār kar girā thā ki āñkhoñ meñ phir ga.e
'tauqīr' vo maqām jo āvārgī meñ aa.e
mauj-e-KHayal mein na kisi jal-pari mein aae
dariya ke sare rang meri tishnagi mein aae
phir ek roz aan mila abr-e-ham-mizaj
miTTi numu-e-pazir hui tazgi mein aae
daman bacha rahe the ki chehra bhi jal gaya
kis aag se guzar ke teri raushni mein aae
ye main hun mere KHwab ye shamshir-e-be-niyam
ab tera iKHtiyar hai jo tere ji mein aae
ek bar is jahan se mil lena chahiye
aisa na ho ki phir ye faqat KHwab hi mein aae
aankhon mein wo lapak hai na sine mein wo alaw
is bar us se kahna zara sadgi mein aae
tanha udas dekh raha tha main chand ko
ye phul bahte bahte kahan se nadi mein aae
thak-haar kar gira tha ki aankhon mein phir gae
'tauqir' wo maqam jo aawargi mein aae
