pas jis ke na tha kuchh raKHt-e-safar main hi tha
paas jis ke na thā kuchh raḳht-e-safar maiñ hī thā
raat ke dasht meñ be-ḳhauf-o-ḳhatar maiñ hī thā
duur tak dā.era-dar-dā.era ġharqāb huā
sīna-e-shab meñ siyāhī kā bhañvar maiñ hī thā
baar se aaj har ik shāḳh jhukī jaatī hai
yā chaman meñ kabhī be-barg-o-samar maiñ hī thā
mere atrāf sadāoñ kā ghanā jañgal thā
tez āñdhī meñ bikharne ko magar maiñ hī thā
jaane vo kaun thā maiñ DhūñD rahā thā jis ko
jo mire sāmne aayā thā agar maiñ hī thā
pas jis ke na tha kuchh raKHt-e-safar main hi tha
raat ke dasht mein be-KHauf-o-KHatar main hi tha
dur tak daera-dar-daera gharqab hua
sina-e-shab mein siyahi ka bhanwar main hi tha
bar se aaj har ek shaKH jhuki jati hai
ya chaman mein kabhi be-barg-o-samar main hi tha
mere atraf sadaon ka ghana jangal tha
tez aandhi mein bikharne ko magar main hi tha
jaane wo kaun tha main DhunD raha tha jis ko
jo mere samne aaya tha agar main hi tha
