nahin tha zaKHm to aansu koi saja leta
nahīñ thā zaḳhm to aañsū koī sajā letā
kisī bahāne ġham-e-ābrū bachā letā
ḳhabar na thī ki siyāhī kā jaal phailegā
lahū kī aag sar-e-shām hī jalā letā
zabāñ pe harf bhī aayā junūñ kā patthar bhī
maiñ be-libās thā kis kis kā aasrā letā
jagā diyā thā dukhoñ ke julūs ne varna
maiñ aaj dāman-e-shab-tāb se havā letā
palaT gayā koī lamha ThiThak ga.e haiñ qadam
koī jo saath nibhātā mirī duā letā
ye kal kī baat nahīñ aaj kī kahānī hai
vo aaj zaḳhm na hotā to maiñ chhupā letā
na jaane kaun sī manzil mirā makāñ hotī
ki maiñ vajūd kī gaThrī agar uThā letā
nahin tha zaKHm to aansu koi saja leta
kisi bahane gham-e-abru bacha leta
KHabar na thi ki siyahi ka jal phailega
lahu ki aag sar-e-sham hi jala leta
zaban pe harf bhi aaya junun ka patthar bhi
main be-libas tha kis kis ka aasra leta
jaga diya tha dukhon ke julus ne warna
main aaj daman-e-shab-tab se hawa leta
palaT gaya koi lamha ThiThak gae hain qadam
koi jo sath nibhata meri dua leta
ye kal ki baat nahin aaj ki kahani hai
wo aaj zaKHm na hota to main chhupa leta
na jaane kaun si manzil mera makan hoti
ki main wajud ki gaThri agar uTha leta
