qurbat-e-husn se ye haal hua dekho to

qurbat-e-husn se ye haal huā dekho to

raushnī de uThā saaya bhī mirā dekho to

kuchh na kah paa.e ye taslīm-o-razā dekho to

kitne pāband haiñ arbāb-e-vafā dekho to

rind piine ke liye jām-ba-kaf baiThe haiñ

zarf bhī hai ki nahīñ in meñ zarā dekho to

vaqt jo mere ishāroñ pe chalā kartā thā

kis qadar jald mujhe bhuul gayā dekho to

aabrū kāñToñ kī rakhne ke liye sahrā meñ

mil hī jā.egā koī ābla-pā dekho to

kārvāñ kā koī bichhḌā huā sāthī hogā

us kī āvāz suno muḌ ke zarā dekho to

kal tak ik phuul bhī thā jis ke liye bār-e-garāñ

haath patthar kī taraf us kā baḌhā dekho to

jaane kis moḌ pe le aayā tasavvur kā faroġh

maañd lagne lagī sūraj kī ziyā dekho to

haath to surḳh ka.ī din se haiñ un ke 'shāhid'

ḳhūn-e-nāhaq hai ki hai rang-e-hinā dekho to

qurbat-e-husn se ye haal hua dekho to

raushni de uTha saya bhi mera dekho to

kuchh na kah pae ye taslim-o-raza dekho to

kitne paband hain arbab-e-wafa dekho to

rind pine ke liye jam-ba-kaf baiThe hain

zarf bhi hai ki nahin in mein zara dekho to

waqt jo mere ishaaron pe chala karta tha

kis qadar jald mujhe bhul gaya dekho to

aabru kanTon ki rakhne ke liye sahra mein

mil hi jaega koi aabla-pa dekho to

karwan ka koi bichhDa hua sathi hoga

us ki aawaz suno muD ke zara dekho to

kal tak ek phul bhi tha jis ke liye bar-e-garan

hath patthar ki taraf us ka baDha dekho to

jaane kis moD pe le aaya tasawwur ka farogh

mand lagne lagi suraj ki ziya dekho to

hath to surKH kai din se hain un ke 'shahid'

KHun-e-nahaq hai ki hai rang-e-hina dekho to
