meri zamin pe lagi aap ke nagar mein lagi
mirī zamīñ pe lagī aap ke nagar meñ lagī
lagī hai aag jahāñ bhī kisī ke ghar meñ lagī
ajiib raqs ki vahshat kī taal hai jis meñ
ajiib taal jo aaseb ke asar meñ lagī
kivāḌ band kahāñ muntazir the aahaT ke
lagī jo der to dahlīz tak safar meñ lagī
tamām ḳhvāb the vābasta us ke hone se
so merī aañkh bhī bas sāya-e-shajar meñ lagī
hisār-e-zāt nahīñ thā tilism-e-ishq thā vo
ḳhabar huī to magar der is ḳhabar meñ lagī
dahakte rañg the jo āsmān chhūte the
khile the phuul ki ik aag sī shajar meñ lagī
adhūre lafz the āvāz ġhair-vāzeh thī
duā ko phir bhī nahīñ der kuchh asar meñ lagī
palaT ke dekhā to bas hijrateñ thiiñ dāman meñ
agarche umr yahāñ ik guzar-basar meñ lagī
parind lauT kar aa.e the kin zamīnoñ se
kahāñ kī dhuul thī jo un ke bāl-o-par meñ lagī
meri zamin pe lagi aap ke nagar mein lagi
lagi hai aag jahan bhi kisi ke ghar mein lagi
ajib raqs ki wahshat ki tal hai jis mein
ajib tal jo aaseb ke asar mein lagi
kiwaD band kahan muntazir the aahaT ke
lagi jo der to dahliz tak safar mein lagi
tamam KHwab the wabasta us ke hone se
so meri aankh bhi bas saya-e-shajar mein lagi
hisar-e-zat nahin tha tilism-e-ishq tha wo
KHabar hui to magar der is KHabar mein lagi
dahakte rang the jo aasman chhute the
khile the phul ki ek aag si shajar mein lagi
adhure lafz the aawaz ghair-wazeh thi
dua ko phir bhi nahin der kuchh asar mein lagi
palaT ke dekha to bas hijraten thin daman mein
agarche umr yahan ek guzar-basar mein lagi
parind lauT kar aae the kin zaminon se
kahan ki dhul thi jo un ke baal-o-par mein lagi
