rukne ke liye dast-e-sitam-gar bhi nahin tha
rukne ke liye dast-e-sitam-gar bhī nahīñ thā
afsos kisī haath meñ patthar bhī nahīñ thā
bāhar jo nahīñ thā to koī baat nahīñ thī
ehsās-e-nadāmt magar andar bhī nahīñ thā
jannat na mujhe dī to maiñ dozaḳh bhī na lūñgā
momin jo nahīñ thā to maiñ kāfir bhī nahīñ thā
lauTā jo vatan ko to vo raste hī nahīñ the
jo ghar thā vahāñ vo to mirā ghar bhī nahīñ thā
anjām to zāhir thā safeñ TuuT chukī thiiñ
sālār-e-muazzaz sar-e-lashkar bhī nahīñ thā
afsos qabīle pe khulā ġhair ke hāthoñ
sardār ke pahlū meñ to ḳhanjar bhī nahīñ thā
jo baat kahī thī vo bahut saaf kahī thī
dil meñ jo nahīñ thā vo zabāñ par bhī nahīñ thā
ye sach hai qasīda na 'hilāl' ek bhī likkhā
ye sach hai ki maiñ shaah kā naukar bhī nahīñ thā
rukne ke liye dast-e-sitam-gar bhi nahin tha
afsos kisi hath mein patthar bhi nahin tha
bahar jo nahin tha to koi baat nahin thi
ehsas-e-nadamt magar andar bhi nahin tha
jannat na mujhe di to main dozaKH bhi na lunga
momin jo nahin tha to main kafir bhi nahin tha
lauTa jo watan ko to wo raste hi nahin the
jo ghar tha wahan wo to mera ghar bhi nahin tha
anjam to zahir tha safen TuT chuki thin
salar-e-muazzaz sar-e-lashkar bhi nahin tha
afsos qabile pe khula ghair ke hathon
sardar ke pahlu mein to KHanjar bhi nahin tha
jo baat kahi thi wo bahut saf kahi thi
dil mein jo nahin tha wo zaban par bhi nahin tha
ye sach hai qasida na 'hilal' ek bhi likkha
ye sach hai ki main shah ka naukar bhi nahin tha
