shahryaron ne dikhain mujhko taswiren bahut
shahryāroñ ne dikhā.īñ mujh ko tasvīreñ bahut
terī bastī tak milīñ raste meñ jāgīreñ bahut
nazr-e-ātish kar rahe ho aaj par kal dekhnā
in sahīfoñ kī likhī jā.eñgī tafsīreñ bahut
aaj bhī mere liye mashkūk hai terā lagāv
pattharoñ pe naqsh dekhīñ maiñ ne tahrīreñ bahut
saat rañgoñ meñ baTī ho jaise sūraj kī kiran
ḳhvāb dekhā ek, dekhīñ us kī ta.abīreñ bahut
ab bichhaḌ kar phir rahī hai ban kī devī bad-havās
mujh se vahshī ke liye tarsī thiiñ zanjīreñ bahut
un ko fursat hī na mil paa.ī ki suljhā.eñ ye jaal
ḳhatm ho kar rah ga.iiñ hāthoñ meñ taqdīreñ bahut
vo kisī pahlū mujhe qātil na lagtā thā 'salīm'
yuuñ to thiiñ ārā.ish-e-dīvār shamshīreñ bahut
shahryaron ne dikhain mujh ko taswiren bahut
teri basti tak milin raste mein jagiren bahut
nazr-e-atish kar rahe ho aaj par kal dekhna
in sahifon ki likhi jaengi tafsiren bahut
aaj bhi mere liye mashkuk hai tera lagaw
pattharon pe naqsh dekhin main ne tahriren bahut
sat rangon mein baTi ho jaise suraj ki kiran
KHwab dekha ek, dekhin us ki tabiren bahut
ab bichhaD kar phir rahi hai ban ki dewi bad-hawas
mujh se wahshi ke liye tarsi thin zanjiren bahut
un ko fursat hi na mil pai ki suljhaen ye jal
KHatm ho kar rah gain hathon mein taqdiren bahut
wo kisi pahlu mujhe qatil na lagta tha 'salim'
yun to thin aaraish-e-diwar shamshiren bahut
