nazar mili thi kisi be-KHabar se pahle bhi
nazar milī thī kisī be-ḳhabar se pahle bhī
sadā-e-tishna uThī thī jigar se pahle bhī
ye sehr kam hai ki shādāb ho gayā sahrā
bahe the ashk bahut chashm-e-tar se pahle bhī
nayā nahīñ hai taqāzā-e-shīsha-o-tesha
guzar chukā huuñ maiñ is dard-e-sar se pahle bhī
maiñ ḳhaak chhānne vaalā savād-e-sahrā kā
paḌe the paañv meñ chhāle safar se pahle bhī
hisār-e-lafz-o-bayāñ meñ na rah sakā 'nāmī'
ki āshnā thā maqām-e-hunar se pahle bhī
nazar mili thi kisi be-KHabar se pahle bhi
sada-e-tishna uThi thi jigar se pahle bhi
ye sehr kam hai ki shadab ho gaya sahra
bahe the ashk bahut chashm-e-tar se pahle bhi
naya nahin hai taqaza-e-shisha-o-tesha
guzar chuka hun main is dard-e-sar se pahle bhi
main KHak chhanne wala sawad-e-sahra ka
paDe the panw mein chhaale safar se pahle bhi
hisar-e-lafz-o-bayan mein na rah saka 'nami'
ki aashna tha maqam-e-hunar se pahle bhi
