safar ka KHwab tha aab-e-rawan pe rakkha tha
safar kā ḳhvāb thā āb-e-ravāñ pe rakkhā thā
koī sitāra khule bādbāñ pe rakkhā thā
bhulā gayā hai mujhe guftugū ke saare maze
bas ek lafz thā pal bhar zabāñ pe rakkhā thā
vo ek ḳhaak sā manzar bas ab bahut hai mujhe
uThā ke jo kabhī qirtās-e-jāñ pe rakkhā thā
maiñ kyā gayā ki huā ḳhushk chashma-e-mahtāb
abhī to pahlā qadam āsmāñ pe rakkhā thā
usī ko 'shāhīñ' muqarrar kiyā hai jā-e-visāl
kanāra-e-shab-e-hijrāñ jahāñ pe rakkhā thā
safar ka KHwab tha aab-e-rawan pe rakkha tha
koi sitara khule baadban pe rakkha tha
bhula gaya hai mujhe guftugu ke sare maze
bas ek lafz tha pal bhar zaban pe rakkha tha
wo ek KHak sa manzar bas ab bahut hai mujhe
uTha ke jo kabhi qirtas-e-jaan pe rakkha tha
main kya gaya ki hua KHushk chashma-e-mahtab
abhi to pahla qadam aasman pe rakkha tha
usi ko 'shahin' muqarrar kiya hai ja-e-visal
kanara-e-shab-e-hijran jahan pe rakkha tha
