nahin milta dila hum ko nishan tak
nahīñ miltā dilā ham ko nishāñ tak
makāñ DhūñD aa.e us kā lā-makāñ tak
banā har mū-e-tan ḳhār-e-muġhīlāñ
satāyā josh-e-vahshat ne yahāñ tak
hamārī jaan ke pīchhe paḌā hai
dil-e-nādāñ ko samjhā.eñ kahāñ tak
ravāñ shab ko huā kyā nāqa-e-rūh
nazar aa.ī na gard-e-kārvāñ tak
zamīñ pe zalzala aayā to pahuñchā
mire nāloñ kā ġhauġhā āsmāñ tak
mile hai dil ko zauq-e-bosa-e-lab
mazā hai varna har shai kā zabāñ tak
jo rakhte the dimāġh apnā falak par
zamīñ par ab nahīñ un kā nishāñ tak
jalāyā sham.a sā us shola-rū ne
ga.e ghul soz-e-ġham se ustuḳhāñ tak
jahāñ kī sair kī 'sayyah' ham ne
na pahuñche par suḳhan ke qadr-dāñ tak
nahin milta dila hum ko nishan tak
makan DhunD aae us ka la-makan tak
bana har mu-e-tan KHar-e-mughilan
sataya josh-e-wahshat ne yahan tak
hamari jaan ke pichhe paDa hai
dil-e-nadan ko samjhaen kahan tak
rawan shab ko hua kya naqa-e-ruh
nazar aai na gard-e-karwan tak
zamin pe zalzala aaya to pahuncha
mere nalon ka ghaugha aasman tak
mile hai dil ko zauq-e-bosa-e-lab
maza hai warna har shai ka zaban tak
jo rakhte the dimagh apna falak par
zamin par ab nahin un ka nishan tak
jalaya shama sa us shola-ru ne
gae ghul soz-e-gham se ustuKHan tak
jahan ki sair ki 'sayyah' hum ne
na pahunche par suKHan ke qadr-dan tak
