mere liye to ye saneha bhi naya nahin tha
mire liye to ye sāneha bhī nayā nahīñ thā
masāfat-e-jāñ kā ham-safar bhī mirā nahīñ thā
laboñ pe pahuñche to nīm-jāñ the hurūf saare
samā.atoñ kā koī darīcha khulā nahīñ thā
na mil sakī us ko raushnī kī koī bashārat
ki tīrgī kā azaab us ne sahā nahīñ thā
nigāh-e-gulshan meñ jo khaTaktā thā ḳhaar ban ke
gale lagā kar use jo dekhā burā nahīñ thā
vo sāhab-e-iḳhtiyār-o-masnad vo merā munsif
vo hākim-e-mutlaq-ul-anān thā ḳhudā nahīñ thā
harīm-e-jāñ meñ mahak rahā hai vo harf-e-ḳhushbū
ki jo abhī shāḳhsār-e-lab par khilā nahīñ thā
mere liye to ye saneha bhi naya nahin tha
masafat-e-jaan ka ham-safar bhi mera nahin tha
labon pe pahunche to nim-jaan the huruf sare
samaaton ka koi daricha khula nahin tha
na mil saki us ko raushni ki koi bashaarat
ki tirgi ka azab us ne saha nahin tha
nigah-e-gulshan mein jo khaTakta tha KHar ban ke
gale laga kar use jo dekha bura nahin tha
wo sahab-e-iKHtiyar-o-masnad wo mera munsif
wo hakim-e-mutlaq-ul-anan tha KHuda nahin tha
harim-e-jaan mein mahak raha hai wo harf-e-KHushbu
ki jo abhi shaKHsar-e-lab par khila nahin tha
