na nind hai na KHwab hai na yaad hai na raat hai
na niiñd hai na ḳhvāb hai na yaad hai na raat hai
zamīñ na āsmān hai zamāñ na kā.enāt hai
ye jism-o-jāñ kā qāfila hai rāsta pe kaun se
na manziloñ kī aas hai na rahravoñ kā saath hai
umiid o aarzū ke rañg kyuuñ phīke lag rahe haiñ ab
kamī hai āb-o-gil meñ kuchh lahū meñ koī baat hai
hai un ke vāste tamām fat.h-o-kāmrāniyāñ
mire liye hamesha se jo hai to sirf maat hai
maiñ lahza lahza kaT ke gir rahā huuñ andhī khaa.ī meñ
ye zindagī kā rāsta nahīñ hai pul-sirāt hai
hai vasl apne-āp se firāq apne-āp se
nahīñ hai koī bhī yahāñ bas ek merī zaat hai
'māmūn' azal se tā-abad nahīñ hai koī raushnī
ḳhalā meñ duur duur tak bas ik aziim raat hai
na nind hai na KHwab hai na yaad hai na raat hai
zamin na aasman hai zaman na kaenat hai
ye jism-o-jaan ka qafila hai rasta pe kaun se
na manzilon ki aas hai na rahrawon ka sath hai
umid o aarzu ke rang kyun phike lag rahe hain ab
kami hai aab-o-gil mein kuchh lahu mein koi baat hai
hai un ke waste tamam fath-o-kaamraniyan
mere liye hamesha se jo hai to sirf mat hai
main lahza lahza kaT ke gir raha hun andhi khai mein
ye zindagi ka rasta nahin hai pul-siraat hai
hai wasl apne-ap se firaq apne-ap se
nahin hai koi bhi yahan bas ek meri zat hai
'mamun' azal se ta-abad nahin hai koi raushni
KHala mein dur dur tak bas ek azim raat hai
