mere zehn-o-dil mein fikr-o-fan mein tha
mere zehn-o-dil meñ fikr-o-fan meñ thā
niim kā vo peḌ jo āñgan meñ thā
jis pe likkhā thā mirā nām-o-nasab
qaid maiñ miTTī ke us bartan meñ thā
ek vo har dasht meñ sairāb thā
ek maiñ pyāsā har ik sāvan meñ thā
dekh kar bhī jo na dekhā jā sakā
aks-ārā vo har ik darpan meñ thā
kah na paayā jaane kyuuñ ik harf bhī
jaane kyā us aadmī ke man meñ thā
jis ko koī naam de saktā nahīñ
vo bulāvā us parā.e-pan meñ thā
āñdhiyāñ sab kuchh uḌā kar le ga.iiñ
peḌ par patta na phal dāman meñ thā
jā-ba-jā qaus-e-quzah kī chhūT thī
ik tilism ābād pairāhan meñ thā
chhīn kar 'shādāb' koī le gayā
ik anokhā sukh jo ghar-āñgan meñ thā
mere zehn-o-dil mein fikr-o-fan mein tha
nim ka wo peD jo aangan mein tha
jis pe likkha tha mera nam-o-nasab
qaid main miTTi ke us bartan mein tha
ek wo har dasht mein sairab tha
ek main pyasa har ek sawan mein tha
dekh kar bhi jo na dekha ja saka
aks-ara wo har ek darpan mein tha
kah na paya jaane kyun ek harf bhi
jaane kya us aadmi ke man mein tha
jis ko koi nam de sakta nahin
wo bulawa us parae-pan mein tha
aandhiyan sab kuchh uDa kar le gain
peD par patta na phal daman mein tha
ja-ba-ja qaus-e-quzah ki chhuT thi
ek tilism aabaad pairahan mein tha
chhin kar 'shadab' koi le gaya
ek anokha sukh jo ghar-angan mein tha
