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-naf.a 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 aur yā āñkhoñ bhar māñgā

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

ham ne us paude kī ḳhātir mauja-e-dīda-e-tar māñgā

fāsle kuchh qadmoñ meñ sameTe āñkhoñ meñ kuchh dhuup ke phuul

is ke alāva aur na ham ne kuchh sāmān-e-safar māñgā

koī sar-o-sāmān nahīñ aur āñdhī har din kā ma.amūl

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

soch rahā huuñ apnī hastī meñ apnā kyā hissa thā

dil par yāroñ kā haq Thahrā aur dushman ne sar māñgā

khulā ki vo bhī terī talab kā ik be-nām 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 aur ya aankhon bhar manga

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

hum ne us paude ki KHatir mauja-e-dida-e-tar manga

fasle kuchh qadmon mein sameTe aankhon mein kuchh dhup ke phul

is ke alawa aur na hum ne kuchh saman-e-safar manga

koi sar-o-saman nahin aur aandhi har din ka mamul

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

soch raha hun apni hasti mein apna kya hissa tha

dil par yaron ka haq Thahra aur dushman ne sar manga

khula ki wo bhi teri talab ka ek be-nam tasalsul tha

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