shab-o-roz raqs-e-visal tha so nahin raha
shab-o-roz raqs-e-visāl thā so nahīñ rahā
kabhī tujh ko merā ḳhayāl thā so nahīñ rahā
vo jo be-qarāri-e-jān-o-dil thī nahīñ rahī
vo jo hijr terā muhāl thā so nahīñ rahā
kabhī aañkh meñ jo muravvateñ thiiñ fanā huiiñ
pas-e-chashm ashk-e-malāl thā so nahīñ rahā
ye to e'tirāf-e-shikast hai ki mazīd ab
koī mahram-e-mah-o-sāl thā so nahīñ rahā
vo ki chāñd jis pe kabhī ġhurūb nahīñ huā
yahāñ ik vo shahr-e-jamāl thā so nahīñ rahā
mujhe aisā lagtā hai jaise aañkh se ḳhvāb kā
vo jo rābta sā bahāl thā so nahīñ rahā
mujhe qatl kar ke mo.āmla nahīñ hogā ḳhatm
ki jo qatl pahle kamāl thā so nahīñ rahā
mirā e'tibār adam vajūd se uTh gayā
vo jo zindagī kī misāl thā so nahīñ rahā
shab-e-māhtāb meñ raat ghaTne ke saath saath
jo samundaroñ meñ ubaal thā so nahīñ rahā
hai ajab mashaqqat-e-vasl jis kī thakan se qabl
ye badan thakan se niDhāl thā so nahīñ rahā
shab-o-roz raqs-e-visal tha so nahin raha
kabhi tujh ko mera KHayal tha so nahin raha
wo jo be-qarari-e-jaan-o-dil thi nahin rahi
wo jo hijr tera muhaal tha so nahin raha
kabhi aankh mein jo murawwaten thin fana huin
pas-e-chashm ashk-e-malal tha so nahin raha
ye to e'tiraf-e-shikast hai ki mazid ab
koi mahram-e-mah-o-sal tha so nahin raha
wo ki chand jis pe kabhi ghurub nahin hua
yahan ek wo shahr-e-jamal tha so nahin raha
mujhe aisa lagta hai jaise aankh se KHwab ka
wo jo rabta sa bahaal tha so nahin raha
mujhe qatl kar ke moamla nahin hoga KHatm
ki jo qatl pahle kamal tha so nahin raha
mera e'tibar adam wajud se uTh gaya
wo jo zindagi ki misal tha so nahin raha
shab-e-mahtab mein raat ghaTne ke sath sath
jo samundaron mein ubaal tha so nahin raha
hai ajab mashaqqat-e-wasl jis ki thakan se qabl
ye badan thakan se niDhaal tha so nahin raha
