parde meri nigah ke bhi darmiyan na the
parde mirī nigāh ke bhī darmiyāñ na the
kyā kahiye un ke jalve kahāñ the kahāñ na the
jis rāste se le ga.ī thī mujh ko be-ḳhudī
us raah meñ kisī ke qadam ke nishāñ na the
rāz-āshnā hai merī nazar yā phir aa.ina
varna vo apne husn ke ḳhud rāz-dāñ na the
kuchh be-sadā se lafz nazar kah ga.ī zarūr
maanā lab-e-ḳhamosh rahīn-e-bayāñ na the
aa.e to yuuñ ki jaise hamesha the mehrbāñ
bhūle to yuuñ ki jaise kabhī mehrbāñ na the
'ashraf' fareb-e-zīst hai kab imtihāñ se kam
is ke sivā to aur yahāñ imtihāñ na the
parde meri nigah ke bhi darmiyan na the
kya kahiye un ke jalwe kahan the kahan na the
jis raste se le gai thi mujh ko be-KHudi
us rah mein kisi ke qadam ke nishan na the
raaz-ashna hai meri nazar ya phir aaina
warna wo apne husn ke KHud raaz-dan na the
kuchh be-sada se lafz nazar kah gai zarur
mana lab-e-KHamosh rahin-e-bayan na the
aae to yun ki jaise hamesha the mehrban
bhule to yun ki jaise kabhi mehrban na the
'ashraf' fareb-e-zist hai kab imtihan se kam
is ke siwa to aur yahan imtihan na the
