sarab-e-mani-o-mafhum mein bhaTakte hain
sarāb-e-ma.anī-o-mafhūm meñ bhaTakte haiñ
kuchh aise lafz jo shāyad azal se pyāse haiñ
samā.atoñ ko abhī yuuñ hī muntazir rakhnā
pas-e-ġhubār-e-ḳhamoshī hazār naġhme haiñ
añdhere kitne hī saffāk hoñ ki zālim hoñ
magar charāġh kī nannhī sī lau se Darte haiñ
ye kis ḳhayāl kī lau se lipaT rahī hai havā
ye kis kī yaad ke saa.e se thartharāte haiñ
yahī nahīñ ki kisī yaad ne malūl kiyā
kabhī kabhī to yūñhī be-sabab bhī ro.e haiñ
bikhar ke bhī to hameñ ā.īna hī rahnā hai
harīf-e-sañg kahīñ TūTne se Darte haiñ
safar the paañv meñ 'aslam' to manzileñ sar meñ
magar ab apnī hī parchhā.iyoñ se lipTe haiñ
sarab-e-mani-o-mafhum mein bhaTakte hain
kuchh aise lafz jo shayad azal se pyase hain
samaaton ko abhi yun hi muntazir rakhna
pas-e-ghubar-e-KHamoshi hazar naghme hain
andhere kitne hi saffak hon ki zalim hon
magar charagh ki nannhi si lau se Darte hain
ye kis KHayal ki lau se lipaT rahi hai hawa
ye kis ki yaad ke sae se thartharaate hain
yahi nahin ki kisi yaad ne malul kiya
kabhi kabhi to yunhi be-sabab bhi roe hain
bikhar ke bhi to hamein aaina hi rahna hai
harif-e-sang kahin TuTne se Darte hain
safar the panw mein 'aslam' to manzilen sar mein
magar ab apni hi parchhaiyon se lipTe hain
