pal pal jine ki KHwahish mein karb-e-sham-o-sahar manga

pal pal jiine kī ḳhvāhish meñ karb-e-shām-o-sahar māñgā

sab the nashāt-e-nafā ke pīchhe ham ne ranj-e-zarar māñgā

ab tak jo dastūr-e-junūñ thā ham ne vahī manzar māñgā

sahrā dil ke barābar chāhā dariyā āñkhoñ bhar māñgā

dekhnā ye hai apne lahū kī kitnī ūñchī hai parvāz

aisī tez havā meñ ham ne kāġhaz kā ik par māñgā

abr ke ehsāñ se bachnā thā dil ko harā bhī rakhnā thā

ham ne is paude kī ḳhātir mauj-e-dīda-e-tar māñgā

koī asāsa paas nahīñ aur āñdhī har din kā māmūl

ham ne bhī kyā soch samajh kar be-dīvār kā ghar māñgā

khulā ki vo bhī terī talab kā ik benām tasalsul thā

duniyā se jo bhī ham ne hālāt ke zer-e-asar māñgā

pal pal jine ki KHwahish mein karb-e-sham-o-sahar manga

sab the nashat-e-nafa ke pichhe hum ne ranj-e-zarar manga

ab tak jo dastur-e-junun tha hum ne wahi manzar manga

sahra dil ke barabar chaha dariya aankhon bhar manga

dekhna ye hai apne lahu ki kitni unchi hai parwaz

aisi tez hawa mein hum ne kaghaz ka ek par manga

abr ke ehsan se bachna tha dil ko hara bhi rakhna tha

hum ne is paude ki KHatir mauj-e-dida-e-tar manga

koi asasa pas nahin aur aandhi har din ka mamul

hum ne bhi kya soch samajh kar be-diwar ka ghar manga

khula ki wo bhi teri talab ka ek benam tasalsul tha

duniya se jo bhi hum ne haalat ke zer-e-asar manga
