mujhe kuchh aur bhi tapta sulagta chhoD jata hai

mujhe kuchh aur bhī taptā sulagtā chhoḌ jaatā hai

sahāb aksar mere siine pe dariyā chhoḌ jaatā hai

vahī ik rā.egāñ lamha ki maiñ jis kā shanāvar huuñ

nigāhoñ meñ mirī shahr-e-tamāshā chhoḌ jaatā hai

guzartā hai jis ā.īne se bhī mausam sharāroñ kā

chaman ko saath le jaatā hai sahrā chhoḌ jaatā hai

navāh-e-dasht meñ ḳhush-manzarī taqsīm kartā hai

vo bādal jo mirī bastī ko pyāsā chhoḌ jaatā hai

mire kamre kī dīvāroñ meñ aise aa.ine bhī haiñ

ki jin ke paas har shaḳhs apnā chehrā chhoḌ jaatā hai

vo mere raaz mujh meñ chāhtā hai munkashif karnā

mujhe mere ghane saa.e meñ tanhā chhoḌ jaatā hai

ajab sho.ala hai 'ishrat' us kā lams-e-be-nihāyat bhī

mire chāroñ taraf jo ik ujālā chhoḌ jaatā hai

mujhe kuchh aur bhi tapta sulagta chhoD jata hai

sahab aksar mere sine pe dariya chhoD jata hai

wahi ek raegan lamha ki main jis ka shanawar hun

nigahon mein meri shahr-e-tamasha chhoD jata hai

guzarta hai jis aaine se bhi mausam shararon ka

chaman ko sath le jata hai sahra chhoD jata hai

nawah-e-dasht mein KHush-manzari taqsim karta hai

wo baadal jo meri basti ko pyasa chhoD jata hai

mere kamre ki diwaron mein aise aaine bhi hain

ki jin ke pas har shaKHs apna chehra chhoD jata hai

wo mere raaz mujh mein chahta hai munkashif karna

mujhe mere ghane sae mein tanha chhoD jata hai

ajab shoala hai 'ishrat' us ka lams-e-be-nihayat bhi

mere chaaron taraf jo ek ujala chhoD jata hai
