rah-e-justuju mein bhaTak gae to kisi se koi gila nahin
rah-e-justujū meñ bhaTak ga.e to kisī se koī gilā nahīñ
ki ham us ke ho ke na jī sake vo hamārā ban ke milā nahīñ
mire fikr-o-fan pe muhīt hai jo tasavvur ek ḳhudā-numā
hai talāsh us kī nahīñ pata vo ḳhudā bhī hai ki ḳhudā nahīñ
jo milī nahīñ mujhe āgahī hai mirī nigāh se ajnabī
ho rag-e-gulū se qarīb bhī to yahī kaheñge milā nahīñ
jo basīr ho vo nazar bhī de mujhe āgahī kā hunar bhī de
magar ab tū merī ḳhabar bhī de ki mujhe ḳhud apnā pata nahīñ
haiñ 'shahāb' mere havās gum ki har ek shab hai shab-e-dahum
jo bujhā to bujh ke hī rah gayā hai charāġh phir se jalā nahīñ
rah-e-justuju mein bhaTak gae to kisi se koi gila nahin
ki hum us ke ho ke na ji sake wo hamara ban ke mila nahin
mere fikr-o-fan pe muhit hai jo tasawwur ek KHuda-numa
hai talash us ki nahin pata wo KHuda bhi hai ki KHuda nahin
jo mili nahin mujhe aagahi hai meri nigah se ajnabi
ho rag-e-gulu se qarib bhi to yahi kahenge mila nahin
jo basir ho wo nazar bhi de mujhe aagahi ka hunar bhi de
magar ab tu meri KHabar bhi de ki mujhe KHud apna pata nahin
hain 'shahab' mere hawas gum ki har ek shab hai shab-e-dahum
jo bujha to bujh ke hi rah gaya hai charagh phir se jala nahin
