nahin hai ras zamane ka rakh-rakhaw mujhe
nahīñ hai raas zamāne kā rakh-rakhāv mujhe
maiñ ik chaTā.ī huuñ mahloñ meñ mat bichhāo mujhe
abhī to qaid huuñ maiñ apnī guuñj ke andar
sadā.eñ do na abhī duur kī sadāo mujhe
adab huuñ aur na koī falsafa na mantiq huuñ
maiñ ek harf huuñ har dars meñ paḌhāo mujhe
girūñ jo ḳhaak pe to ḳhaak bhī mirī na mile
kam-az-kam itnī bulandī se to girāo mujhe
mire sukūt ne baḳhshī hai tum ko goyā.ī
biThāo sar pe mire shahr kī havāo mujhe
sunūñ to kis kī sunūñ kis kī samt dauḌūñ maiñ
yahāñ to ek hī āvāz hai bachāo mujhe
sulagtī ruuh kī tasvīr kaise lī tum ne
vo zāviya vo tarīqa vo fan sikhāo mujhe
maiñ har sadī huuñ har ik daur har zamāna huuñ
tum apne vaqt ke album meñ mat sajāo mujhe
anā kī aag huuñ sho'loñ kā jism huuñ 'vasfī'
jalā rahā hai mirī zaat kā alaav mujhe
nahin hai ras zamane ka rakh-rakhaw mujhe
main ek chaTai hun mahlon mein mat bichhao mujhe
abhi to qaid hun main apni gunj ke andar
sadaen do na abhi dur ki sadao mujhe
adab hun aur na koi falsafa na mantiq hun
main ek harf hun har dars mein paDhao mujhe
girun jo KHak pe to KHak bhi meri na mile
kam-az-kam itni bulandi se to girao mujhe
mere sukut ne baKHshi hai tum ko goyai
biThao sar pe mere shahr ki hawao mujhe
sunun to kis ki sunun kis ki samt dauDun main
yahan to ek hi aawaz hai bachao mujhe
sulagti ruh ki taswir kaise li tum ne
wo zawiya wo tariqa wo fan sikhao mujhe
main har sadi hun har ek daur har zamana hun
tum apne waqt ke album mein mat sajao mujhe
ana ki aag hun sho'lon ka jism hun 'wasfi'
jala raha hai meri zat ka alaw mujhe
