rah-e-safar mein chiz koi kya thi mere pas
rāh-e-safar meñ chiiz koī kyā thī mere paas
bas maiñ thā aur vus.at-e-sahrā thī mere paas
thā mere paas ghaTtī huī zindagī kā rañj
aur ek lambī ḳhvāhish-e-duniyā thī mere paas
apnā har ik nazāra dikhānā paḌā use
kartā vo kyā ki chashm-e-tamāshā thī mere paas
tapte hue dinoñ meñ kahīñ thī ḳhunuk havā
aur sardiyoñ meñ aag sī barpā thī mere paas
kyā chiiz thī jo ghultī rahī bahte vaqt meñ
pal pal badaltī rañgat-e-dariyā thī mere paas
kaise bigaḌ ga.ī use kis ne badal diyā
'shāhīñ' jo ek sūrat-e-fardā thī mere paas
rah-e-safar mein chiz koi kya thi mere pas
bas main tha aur wusat-e-sahra thi mere pas
tha mere pas ghaTti hui zindagi ka ranj
aur ek lambi KHwahish-e-duniya thi mere pas
apna har ek nazara dikhana paDa use
karta wo kya ki chashm-e-tamasha thi mere pas
tapte hue dinon mein kahin thi KHunuk hawa
aur sardiyon mein aag si barpa thi mere pas
kya chiz thi jo ghulti rahi bahte waqt mein
pal pal badalti rangat-e-dariya thi mere pas
kaise bigaD gai use kis ne badal diya
'shahin' jo ek surat-e-farda thi mere pas
