mujhe kal achanak KHayal aa gaya aasman kho na jae
mujhe kal achānak ḳhayāl aa gayā āsmāñ kho na jaa.e
samundar ko sar karte karte kahīñ bādbāñ kho na jaa.e
koī nā-murādī kī yalġhār siine ko chhalnī na kar de
kahīñ dasht-e-anfās meñ sabr kā kārvāñ kho na jaa.e
ye hañstā huā shor sanjīdgī ke liye imtihāñ hai
so mohtāt rahnā ki tahzīb-e-āh-o-fuġhāñ kho na jaa.e
ise vaqt kā jabr kahiye ki bechārgī jism o jaañ kī
makāñ khone vāloñ ko Dar hai ki ab lā-makāñ kho na jaa.e
maiñ apne irādoñ kī gaThrī uThā.e kahīñ jā na paayā
hamesha ye dhaḌkā rahā mahfil-e-dostāñ kho na jaa.e
ye qissoñ kī rim-jhim meñ bhīgā huā halqa-e-guftugū hai
yahāñ chup hī rahnā ki tāsīr-e-lafz-o-bayāñ kho na jaa.e
yahāñ kis ko fursat ki āġhāz o anjām ko yaad rakkhe
sabhī ko ye tashvīsh hai vaqt kā darmiyāñ kho na jaa.e
ye bāzār-e-naf.a-o-zarar hai yahāñ be-tavāzun na honā
sameTo agar suud to dhyān rakhnā ziyāñ kho na jaa.e
uTho 'azm' is ātish-e-shauq ko sard hone se roko
agar ruk na paa.e to koshish ye karnā dhuāñ kho na jaa.e
mujhe kal achanak KHayal aa gaya aasman kho na jae
samundar ko sar karte karte kahin baadban kho na jae
koi na-muradi ki yalghaar sine ko chhalni na kar de
kahin dasht-e-anfas mein sabr ka karwan kho na jae
ye hansta hua shor sanjidgi ke liye imtihan hai
so mohtat rahna ki tahzib-e-ah-o-fughan kho na jae
ise waqt ka jabr kahiye ki bechaargi jism o jaan ki
makan khone walon ko Dar hai ki ab la-makan kho na jae
main apne iradon ki gaThri uThae kahin ja na paya
hamesha ye dhaDka raha mahfil-e-dostan kho na jae
ye qisson ki rim-jhim mein bhiga hua halqa-e-guftugu hai
yahan chup hi rahna ki tasir-e-lafz-o-bayan kho na jae
yahan kis ko fursat ki aaghaz o anjam ko yaad rakkhe
sabhi ko ye tashwish hai waqt ka darmiyan kho na jae
ye bazar-e-nafa-o-zarar hai yahan be-tawazun na hona
sameTo agar sud to dhyan rakhna ziyan kho na jae
uTho 'azm' is aatish-e-shauq ko sard hone se roko
agar ruk na pae to koshish ye karna dhuan kho na jae
