nazar hairat-zada si hai qadam bahke hue se hain
nazar hairat-zada sī hai qadam bahke hue se haiñ
shabāb aayā hai un par aur ham bahke hue se haiñ
abhī un ke karam kī baat apne husn-e-zan tak hai
magar ummīd-vārān-e-karam bahke hue se haiñ
vafā ke silsile meñ ho hī jaatī hai ġhalat-fahmī
vo bahkā.e ga.e se haiñ na ham bahke hue se haiñ
baḌe zī-hosh bante the mai-e-ishrat ke matvāle
huā hai jab se kuchh ehsās-e-ġham bahke hue se haiñ
unheñ ā.īna-ruḳh kahiye unhīñ ke sāmne jā kar
ye andāza to hotā hai ki ham bahke hue se haiñ
kahā karte the ham aksar ki rāh-e-zindagī hai kyā
jo ab dekhe haiñ us ke pech-o-ḳham bahke hue se haiñ
mirī duniyā hai ye ahl-e-junūñ kyā hosh vaale kyā
mirī duniyā meñ sab hī besh-o-kam bahke hue se haiñ
ḳhudā rakkhe chale haiñ manzil-e-jānāñ ko sar karne
vo dekho nā yahīñ jin ke qadam bahke hue se haiñ
har ik ne mujh ko dīvāna hī Thahrāyā hai ai 'mahshar'
sabhī qissa-nigāroñ ke qalam bahke hue se haiñ
nazar hairat-zada si hai qadam bahke hue se hain
shabab aaya hai un par aur hum bahke hue se hain
abhi un ke karam ki baat apne husn-e-zan tak hai
magar ummid-waran-e-karam bahke hue se hain
wafa ke silsile mein ho hi jati hai ghalat-fahmi
wo bahkae gae se hain na hum bahke hue se hain
baDe zi-hosh bante the mai-e-ishrat ke matwale
hua hai jab se kuchh ehsas-e-gham bahke hue se hain
unhen aaina-ruKH kahiye unhin ke samne ja kar
ye andaza to hota hai ki hum bahke hue se hain
kaha karte the hum aksar ki rah-e-zindagi hai kya
jo ab dekhe hain us ke pech-o-KHam bahke hue se hain
meri duniya hai ye ahl-e-junun kya hosh wale kya
meri duniya mein sab hi besh-o-kam bahke hue se hain
KHuda rakkhe chale hain manzil-e-jaanan ko sar karne
wo dekho na yahin jin ke qadam bahke hue se hain
har ek ne mujh ko diwana hi Thahraya hai ai 'mahshar'
sabhi qissa-nigaron ke qalam bahke hue se hain
