na sahn-o-baam na diwar-o-dar purane hain
na sahn-o-bām na dīvār-o-dar purāne haiñ
agar makīñ haiñ purāne to ghar purāne haiñ
saḳhāvatoñ hī ke dam se hai tāzgī kā bharam
samar na deñ to yaqīnan shajar purāne haiñ
dil aisī sūrat-e-ta.amīr par jame kab tak
tamām naqsh hī dīvār par purāne haiñ
havā kī lahr hai ab jis tarah bhī shohrat de
junūñ purānā na āshufta-sar purāne haiñ
qabāhateñ to yahīñ haiñ masāfatoñ meñ mirī
safar nayā hai sharīk-e-safar purāne haiñ
maiñ nā-balad huuñ rafū kī rivāyatoñ se to phir
nikalte kyuuñ nahīñ jo baḳhiya-gar purāne haiñ
ye rabt-e-ḳhair nishāñ hai saf-e-hunar ke liye
jo kuchh na.e haiñ to kuchh dīda-var purāne haiñ
sabhī ḳharābe haiñ dosh-e-zamīñ pe baar magar
ziyāda bojh vo haiñ jo khañDar purāne haiñ
na sahn-o-baam na diwar-o-dar purane hain
agar makin hain purane to ghar purane hain
saKHawaton hi ke dam se hai tazgi ka bharam
samar na den to yaqinan shajar purane hain
dil aisi surat-e-tamir par jame kab tak
tamam naqsh hi diwar par purane hain
hawa ki lahr hai ab jis tarah bhi shohrat de
junun purana na aashufta-sar purane hain
qabahaten to yahin hain masafaton mein meri
safar naya hai sharik-e-safar purane hain
main na-balad hun rafu ki riwayaton se to phir
nikalte kyun nahin jo baKHiya-gar purane hain
ye rabt-e-KHair nishan hai saf-e-hunar ke liye
jo kuchh nae hain to kuchh dida-war purane hain
sabhi KHarabe hain dosh-e-zamin pe bar magar
ziyaada bojh wo hain jo khanDar purane hain
