safar mein rasta jo pur-KHatar mila tha mujhe

safar meñ rāsta jo pur-ḳhatar milā thā mujhe

bahut hī ḳhuub thā kyuuñ rāhbar milā thā mujhe

jahāñ meñ jab koī jins-e-garāñ-shanās na thā

to itnā besh-bahā kyuuñ guhar milā thā mujhe

phir us ke ba.ad mirā sar rahā na shānoñ par

dayār-e-ishq meñ vo sañg-e-dar milā thā mujhe

maiñ tā-hayāt farishtoñ ke par kutar letā

jigar kā dard magar muḳhtasar milā thā mujhe

chaman meñ yār-e-sharar-bār kī ḳhudā.ī meñ

shajar milā thā na koī samar milā thā mujhe

jo chāhtā use maiñ bhī tabāh kar detā

usī ke qurb meñ aisā hunar milā thā mujhe

sunā thā sūra-e-iḳhlās maiñ ne aazar se

sanam-kade meñ ḳhudā kā hī ghar milā thā mujhe

hai mo.ajiza ki vo sidra maqām tak pahuñchā

jo ek tā.ir-e-be-bāl-o-par milā thā mujhe

ye merī ābla-pā.ī mujhe mubārak ho

vo din yahī thā ki izn-e-safar milā thā mujhe

kabhī 'bashīr' ko maiñ ne junūñ meñ dekhā thā

ajiib sāhab-e-fahm-o-nazar milā thā mujhe

safar mein rasta jo pur-KHatar mila tha mujhe

bahut hi KHub tha kyun rahbar mila tha mujhe

jahan mein jab koi jins-e-garan-shanas na tha

to itna besh-baha kyun guhar mila tha mujhe

phir us ke baad mera sar raha na shanon par

dayar-e-ishq mein wo sang-e-dar mila tha mujhe

main ta-hayat farishton ke par kutar leta

jigar ka dard magar muKHtasar mila tha mujhe

chaman mein yar-e-sharar-bar ki KHudai mein

shajar mila tha na koi samar mila tha mujhe

jo chahta use main bhi tabah kar deta

usi ke qurb mein aisa hunar mila tha mujhe

suna tha sura-e-iKHlas main ne aazar se

sanam-kade mein KHuda ka hi ghar mila tha mujhe

hai moajiza ki wo sidra maqam tak pahuncha

jo ek tair-e-be-baal-o-par mila tha mujhe

ye meri aabla-pai mujhe mubarak ho

wo din yahi tha ki izn-e-safar mila tha mujhe

kabhi 'bashir' ko main ne junun mein dekha tha

ajib sahab-e-fahm-o-nazar mila tha mujhe
