na guman rahne diya hai na yaqin rahne diya
na gumāñ rahne diyā hai na yaqīñ rahne diyā
rāsta koī khulā ham ne nahīñ rahne diyā
us ne TukḌoñ meñ bikherā huā thā mujh ko jahāñ
jā uThāyā hai kahīñ se to kahīñ rahne diyā
saj rahe the ye shab o roz kuchh aise tujh se
ham ko duniyā hī pasand aa ga.ī diiñ rahne diyā
ḳhud to bāġhī hue ham tujh se magar saath hī saath
dil-e-rusvā ko tire zer-e-nagīñ rahne diyā
jā-ba-jā is meñ bhī tere hī nishāñ the shāmil
ham ne ik naqsh agar apne ta.iiñ rahne diyā
ik ḳhabar thī jise zāhir na kiyā ham ne kabhī
ik ḳhazāna thā jise zer-e-zamīñ rahne diyā
ḳhud to bāhar hue ham ḳhāna-e-dil se lekin
vo kisī ḳhvāb meñ thā us ko yahīñ rahne diyā
āsmāñ se kabhī ham ne bhī utārā na use
aur us ne bhī hameñ ḳhāk-nashīñ rahne diyā
ham ne chheḌā nahīñ ashyā-e-mohabbat ko 'zafar'
jo jahāñ par thī paḌī us ko vahīñ rahne diyā
na guman rahne diya hai na yaqin rahne diya
rasta koi khula hum ne nahin rahne diya
us ne TukDon mein bikhera hua tha mujh ko jahan
ja uThaya hai kahin se to kahin rahne diya
saj rahe the ye shab o roz kuchh aise tujh se
hum ko duniya hi pasand aa gai din rahne diya
KHud to baghi hue hum tujh se magar sath hi sath
dil-e-ruswa ko tere zer-e-nagin rahne diya
ja-ba-ja is mein bhi tere hi nishan the shamil
hum ne ek naqsh agar apne tain rahne diya
ek KHabar thi jise zahir na kiya hum ne kabhi
ek KHazana tha jise zer-e-zamin rahne diya
KHud to bahar hue hum KHana-e-dil se lekin
wo kisi KHwab mein tha us ko yahin rahne diya
aasman se kabhi hum ne bhi utara na use
aur us ne bhi hamein KHak-nashin rahne diya
hum ne chheDa nahin ashya-e-mohabbat ko 'zafar'
jo jahan par thi paDi us ko wahin rahne diya
