ru-e-zamin nahin ki sar-e-asman nahin
rū-e-zamīñ nahīñ ki sar-e-āsmāñ nahīñ
sach pūchhiye to us ke nishāñ haiñ kahāñ nahīñ
ḳhud ham meñ aaj himmat o azm-e-javāñ nahīñ
varna pahuñch se duur kabhī āsmāñ nahīñ
bas ek zāt-e-haq ke sivā kā.enāt meñ
har shai fanā-pazīr hai kuchh jāvedāñ nahīñ
tum ne jo kuchh kahā so kahā apnā apnā zarf
aisā nahīñ ki mere dahan meñ zabāñ nahīñ
dil meñ hamāre hasrat-o-armāñ kā hai hujūm
kaise kaheñ ki ham pe koī mehrbāñ nahīñ
kar arz-e-mudda.ā magar ai dil rahe ḳhayāl
inkār kar diyā to karegā vo haañ nahīñ
'tābish' vo sāmne hī hai uḌtā huā ġhubār
bas do qadam se duur hai ab kārvāñ nahīñ
ru-e-zamin nahin ki sar-e-asman nahin
sach puchhiye to us ke nishan hain kahan nahin
KHud hum mein aaj himmat o azm-e-jawan nahin
warna pahunch se dur kabhi aasman nahin
bas ek zat-e-haq ke siwa kaenat mein
har shai fana-pazir hai kuchh jawedan nahin
tum ne jo kuchh kaha so kaha apna apna zarf
aisa nahin ki mere dahan mein zaban nahin
dil mein hamare hasrat-o-arman ka hai hujum
kaise kahen ki hum pe koi mehrban nahin
kar arz-e-muddaa magar ai dil rahe KHayal
inkar kar diya to karega wo han nahin
'tabish' wo samne hi hai uDta hua ghubar
bas do qadam se dur hai ab karwan nahin
