na main dariya na mujh mein zoam koi be-karani ka
na maiñ dariyā na mujh meñ zo.am koī be-karānī kā
ki maiñ huuñ bulbule kī shakl meñ ehsās paanī kā
mohabbat meñ tirī apnī zabāñ ko sī liyā maiñ ne
asar zaa.il na ho jaa.e tirī jādū-bayānī kā
ajab kyā hai jo merī dāstān-e-ḳhūñ-chakāñ se bhī
koī pahlū nikal aa.e kisī kī shādmānī kā
maiñ apne paañv kī zanjīr ik din ḳhud hī kāTūñgā
hadaf banñā nahīñ mujh ko kisī kī mehrbānī kā
tumhāre sāmne aa.uuñ tumheñ apnī safā.ī duuñ
sabab ma.alūm ho tab nā tumhārī bad-gumānī kā
mirā siina hazāroñ chīḳhtī rūhoñ kā maskan hai
vasīla huuñ maiñ gūñgī hasratoñ kī tarjumānī kā
hamārā ahd bhī likkhe alif-lailā ke jaisā kuchh
badalnā chāhiye ab rañg kuchh qissa-kahānī kā
nahīñ tere liye ye do minute kī chup nahīñ kaafī
tirā ġham mustahiq hai umr bhī kī nauha-ḳhvānī kā
mirī tā.īd meñ bhī ab kisī kā hoñT to kāñpe
koī to dard bāñTe aa.e merī be-zabānī kā
na main dariya na mujh mein zoam koi be-karani ka
ki main hun bulbule ki shakl mein ehsas pani ka
mohabbat mein teri apni zaban ko si liya main ne
asar zail na ho jae teri jadu-bayani ka
ajab kya hai jo meri dastan-e-KHun-chakan se bhi
koi pahlu nikal aae kisi ki shadmani ka
main apne panw ki zanjir ek din KHud hi kaTunga
hadaf banna nahin mujh ko kisi ki mehrbani ka
tumhaare samne aaun tumhein apni safai dun
sabab malum ho tab na tumhaari bad-gumani ka
mera sina hazaron chiKHti ruhon ka maskan hai
wasila hun main gungi hasraton ki tarjumani ka
hamara ahd bhi likkhe alif-laila ke jaisa kuchh
badalna chahiye ab rang kuchh qissa-kahani ka
nahin tere liye ye do minute ki chup nahin kafi
tera gham mustahiq hai umr bhi ki nauha-KHwani ka
meri taid mein bhi ab kisi ka honT to kanpe
koi to dard banTe aae meri be-zabani ka
