safar se mujhko bad-dil kar raha tha

safar se mujh ko bad-dil kar rahā thā

bhañvar kā kaam sāhil kar rahā thā

vo samjhā hī kahāñ us martabe ko

maiñ us ko dukh meñ shāmil kar rahā thā

hamārī fat.h thī maqtūl honā

yahī koshish to qātil kar rahā thā

koī to thā mire hī qāfile meñ

jo merā kaam mushkil kar rahā thā

vo Thukrā kar gayā is daur meñ jab

maiñ jo chāhūñ vo hāsil kar rahā thā

tirī bātoñ meñ yuuñ bhī aa gayā maiñ

bhaTakne kā bahut dil kar rahā thā

koī mujh sā hī dīvāna thā shāyad

jo vīrāne meñ mahfil kar rahā thā

ye dil ḳhud-ġharz dil ġham-ḳhvār terā

ḳhushī ġham meñ bhī hāsil kar rahā thā

samajhtā thā maiñ sāzish aa.ine kī

mujhe mere muqābil kar rahā thā

safar se mujh ko bad-dil kar raha tha

bhanwar ka kaam sahil kar raha tha

wo samjha hi kahan us martabe ko

main us ko dukh mein shamil kar raha tha

hamari fath thi maqtul hona

yahi koshish to qatil kar raha tha

koi to tha mere hi qafile mein

jo mera kaam mushkil kar raha tha

wo Thukra kar gaya is daur mein jab

main jo chahun wo hasil kar raha tha

teri baaton mein yun bhi aa gaya main

bhaTakne ka bahut dil kar raha tha

koi mujh sa hi diwana tha shayad

jo virane mein mahfil kar raha tha

ye dil KHud-gharz dil gham-KHwar tera

KHushi gham mein bhi hasil kar raha tha

samajhta tha main sazish aaine ki

mujhe mere muqabil kar raha tha
