kul aalam-e-wajud ki ek dasht-e-nur tha
kul ālam-e-vajūd ki ik dasht-e-nūr thā
saarā hijāb tīra-dilī kā qusūr thā
samjhe the johd-e-ishq meñ ham surḳh-rū hue
dekhā magar to shīsha-e-dil chuur chuur thā
pahuñche na yuuñ hī manzil-e-iz.hār-e-zāt tak
taht-e-shu.ūr ik safar-e-lā-shu.ūr thā
thā jo qarīb us ko basīrat na thī nasīb
jo dekhtā thā mujh ko bahut mujh se duur thā
mub.ham the sab nuqūsh naqāboñ kī dhund meñ
chehra ik aur bhī pas-e-chehra zarūr thā
kul aalam-e-wajud ki ek dasht-e-nur tha
sara hijab tira-dili ka qusur tha
samjhe the johd-e-ishq mein hum surKH-ru hue
dekha magar to shisha-e-dil chur chur tha
pahunche na yun hi manzil-e-izhaar-e-zat tak
taht-e-shuur ek safar-e-la-shuur tha
tha jo qarib us ko basirat na thi nasib
jo dekhta tha mujh ko bahut mujh se dur tha
mubham the sab nuqush naqabon ki dhund mein
chehra ek aur bhi pas-e-chehra zarur tha
