sarab dekhta hun main ki aab dekhta hun main
sarāb dekhtā huuñ maiñ ki aab dekhtā huuñ maiñ
samajh meñ jo na aa sake vo ḳhvāb dekhtā huuñ maiñ
lahūñ meñ tairtī hai koī shai tirī umiid sī
ugā huā shafaq meñ āftāb dekhtā huuñ maiñ
mirī nazar ke sāmne hai aa.ina rakkhā huā
tirī nazar kā husn-e-intiḳhāb dekhtā huuñ maiñ
ye kis maqām par hai aaj raḳhsh-e-fikr-o-āgahī
ki jibra.īl ko bhī ham-rikāb dekhtā huuñ maiñ
ye koī nazr to nahīñ nigāh dil navāz kī
khilā huā jo dil meñ ik gulāb dekhtā huuñ maiñ
kisī kā dāman-e-talab kushāda is qadar nahīñ
tirī atā ko be-had-o-hisāb dekhtā huuñ maiñ
samajh sakegā kaun ai ḳhudā tirī kitāb ko
badal gayā hai sab kā sab nisāb dekhtā huuñ maiñ
abhī to sun rahā huuñ maiñ gaḌhī huī kahāniyāñ
khulegā kab haqīqatoñ kā baab dekhtā huuñ maiñ
dil-o-nazar kī raushnī hai jis ke harf harf meñ
rakhī huī vo taaq par kitāb dekhtā huuñ maiñ
jo khelne meñ tez thā navāb ho gayā hai vo
paḌhe likhe ko ḳhasta-o-ḳharāb dekhtā huuñ maiñ
vo hoshiyār aadmī ki jāgtā hai raat din
kabhī kabhī use bhī mast-e-ḳhvāb dekhtā huuñ maiñ
jo 'māhir'-e-alam-zada ke lab pe aa ga.ī hañsī
tū khā rahā hai koī pech-o-tāb dekhtā huuñ maiñ
sarab dekhta hun main ki aab dekhta hun main
samajh mein jo na aa sake wo KHwab dekhta hun main
lahun mein tairti hai koi shai teri umid si
uga hua shafaq mein aaftab dekhta hun main
meri nazar ke samne hai aaina rakkha hua
teri nazar ka husn-e-intiKHab dekhta hun main
ye kis maqam par hai aaj raKHsh-e-fikr-o-agahi
ki jibrail ko bhi ham-rikab dekhta hun main
ye koi nazr to nahin nigah dil nawaz ki
khila hua jo dil mein ek gulab dekhta hun main
kisi ka daman-e-talab kushada is qadar nahin
teri ata ko be-had-o-hisab dekhta hun main
samajh sakega kaun ai KHuda teri kitab ko
badal gaya hai sab ka sab nisab dekhta hun main
abhi to sun raha hun main gaDhi hui kahaniyan
khulega kab haqiqaton ka bab dekhta hun main
dil-o-nazar ki raushni hai jis ke harf harf mein
rakhi hui wo taq par kitab dekhta hun main
jo khelne mein tez tha nawab ho gaya hai wo
paDhe likhe ko KHasta-o-KHarab dekhta hun main
wo hoshiyar aadmi ki jagta hai raat din
kabhi kabhi use bhi mast-e-KHwab dekhta hun main
jo 'mahir'-e-alam-zada ke lab pe aa gai hansi
tu kha raha hai koi pech-o-tab dekhta hun main
