may ka aag lagata hua mahina tha
may kā aag lagātā huā mahīna thā
ghaTā ne mujh se mirā āftāb chhīnā thā
bajā ki tujh sā rafūgar na mil sakā lekin
ye taar taar vajūd ek din to siinā thā
use ye zid thī ki har saañs us kī ḳhātir ho
magar mujhe to zamāne ke saath jiinā thā
ye ham hī the jo bachā laa.e apnī jaañ de kar
havā kī zad pe tirī yaad kā safīna thā
nadī ḳhajil thī ki bhīgī huī thī paanī meñ
magar pahāḌ ke māthe pe kyuuñ pasīnā thā
tum un sulagte hue āñsuoñ kā ġham na karo
hameñ to roz hī ye zahr hañs ke piinā thā
tamām-umr kisī kā na ban sakā 'shabnam'
vo jis ko baat banāne kā bhī qarīnā thā
may ka aag lagata hua mahina tha
ghaTa ne mujh se mera aaftab chhina tha
baja ki tujh sa rafugar na mil saka lekin
ye tar tar wajud ek din to sina tha
use ye zid thi ki har sans us ki KHatir ho
magar mujhe to zamane ke sath jina tha
ye hum hi the jo bacha lae apni jaan de kar
hawa ki zad pe teri yaad ka safina tha
nadi KHajil thi ki bhigi hui thi pani mein
magar pahaD ke mathe pe kyun pasina tha
tum un sulagte hue aansuon ka gham na karo
hamein to roz hi ye zahr hans ke pina tha
tamam-umr kisi ka na ban saka 'shabnam'
wo jis ko baat banane ka bhi qarina tha
