sar jhuka leta tha pahle jis ko aksar dekh kar
sar jhukā letā thā pahle jis ko aksar dekh kar
aaj pāgal ho gayā us ko barābar dekh kar
ḳhvāhishoñ meñ bah gayā kamzor miTTī kā hisār
jism qatre meñ simaT aayā samundar dekh kar
sochtā huuñ raat ke andhe safar ke moḌ par
chāñd ghabrāyā to hogā ḳhālī bistar dekh kar
aañkh khulte hī har ik lamhe meñ merā aks thā
maiñ bikhar jaatā huuñ is khiḌkī ke bāhar dekh kar
tū hī utregā ḳharāboñ meñ farāz-e-arsh se
ham to behis ho chuke haiñ ab ye manzar dekh kar
chāñd takne kī tamannā le ke vāpas aa gayā
dūsroñ ke ghar ko apnī chhat se uupar dekh kar
ab to muḌ kar bhī kisī āvāz ko suntā nahīñ
jā-ba-jā bikhre hue saḌkoñ pe patthar dekh kar
mujh ko 'sarmad' apnī bhī pahchān tak baaqī nahīñ
shaḳhs ik apne hī jaisā apne andar dekh kar
sar jhuka leta tha pahle jis ko aksar dekh kar
aaj pagal ho gaya us ko barabar dekh kar
KHwahishon mein bah gaya kamzor miTTi ka hisar
jism qatre mein simaT aaya samundar dekh kar
sochta hun raat ke andhe safar ke moD par
chand ghabraya to hoga KHali bistar dekh kar
aankh khulte hi har ek lamhe mein mera aks tha
main bikhar jata hun is khiDki ke bahar dekh kar
tu hi utrega KHarabon mein faraaz-e-arsh se
hum to behis ho chuke hain ab ye manzar dekh kar
chand takne ki tamanna le ke wapas aa gaya
dusron ke ghar ko apni chhat se upar dekh kar
ab to muD kar bhi kisi aawaz ko sunta nahin
ja-ba-ja bikhre hue saDkon pe patthar dekh kar
mujh ko 'sarmad' apni bhi pahchan tak baqi nahin
shaKHs ek apne hi jaisa apne andar dekh kar
