na dekha jama-e-KHud-raftagi utar ke bhi
na dekhā jāma-e-ḳhud-raftagī utaar ke bhī
chalī ga.iiñ tirī yādeñ mujhe pukār ke bhī
ye zindagī hai use talḳh tursh honā hai
sa.ūbatoñ ke zarā dekh din guzār ke bhī
habāb-e-zīst na dast-e-qazā se TuuT sakā
hayāt baaqī rahī qabr meñ utaar ke bhī
tire ġhurūr ke hai rū-ba-rū ye ḳhush-shikanī
jhukā ke sar na hue pesh shahryār ke bhī
badī na rokeñ pe nafrat to kar hī lete haiñ
muzāhire haiñ ye kuchh apne iḳhtiyār ke bhī
kabhī gale bhī milo aa ke shāḳh-e-gul kī tarah
adā to kar diye haq ham ne intizār ke bhī
qubūl o rad ke sabhī iḳhtiyār us ke the
magar maiñ ḳhush thā tamannā ko us pe vaar ke bhī
bahār ho to lahū meñ utartī hai 'shāhid'
hameñ to chhū ke na guzre ye din bahār ke bhī
na dekha jama-e-KHud-raftagi utar ke bhi
chali gain teri yaaden mujhe pukar ke bhi
ye zindagi hai use talKH tursh hona hai
saubaton ke zara dekh din guzar ke bhi
habab-e-zist na dast-e-qaza se TuT saka
hayat baqi rahi qabr mein utar ke bhi
tere ghurur ke hai ru-ba-ru ye KHush-shikani
jhuka ke sar na hue pesh shahryar ke bhi
badi na roken pe nafrat to kar hi lete hain
muzahire hain ye kuchh apne iKHtiyar ke bhi
kabhi gale bhi milo aa ke shaKH-e-gul ki tarah
ada to kar diye haq hum ne intizar ke bhi
qubul o rad ke sabhi iKHtiyar us ke the
magar main KHush tha tamanna ko us pe war ke bhi
bahaar ho to lahu mein utarti hai 'shahid'
hamein to chhu ke na guzre ye din bahaar ke bhi
