shikwe hum apni zaban par kabhi lae to nahin
shikve ham apnī zabāñ par kabhī laa.e to nahīñ
haañ magar ashk jab umDe the chhupā.e to nahīñ
terī mahfil ke bhī ādāb ki dil Dartā hai
merī āñkhoñ ne durr-e-ashk luTā.e to nahīñ
chhān lī ḳhaak bayābānoñ kī vīrānoñ kī
phir bhī andāz-e-junūñ aql ne paa.e to nahīñ
laakh pur-vahshat o pur-haul sahī shām-e-firāq
ham ne ghabrā ke diye din se jalā.e to nahīñ
ab to is baat pe bhī sulh sī kar lī hai ki vo
na bulā.e na sahī dil se bhulā.e to nahīñ
hijr kī raat ye har Dūbte taare ne kahā
ham na kahte the na ā.eñge vo aa.e to nahīñ
inqilāb aate haiñ rahte haiñ jahāñ meñ lekin
jo banāne kā na ho ahl miTā.e to nahīñ
apnī is shoḳhi-e-raftār kā anjām na soch
fitne ḳhud uThne lage tū ne uThā.e to nahīñ
shikwe hum apni zaban par kabhi lae to nahin
han magar ashk jab umDe the chhupae to nahin
teri mahfil ke bhi aadab ki dil Darta hai
meri aankhon ne durr-e-ashk luTae to nahin
chhan li KHak bayabanon ki viranon ki
phir bhi andaz-e-junun aql ne pae to nahin
lakh pur-wahshat o pur-haul sahi sham-e-firaq
hum ne ghabra ke diye din se jalae to nahin
ab to is baat pe bhi sulh si kar li hai ki wo
na bulae na sahi dil se bhulae to nahin
hijr ki raat ye har Dubte tare ne kaha
hum na kahte the na aaenge wo aae to nahin
inqilab aate hain rahte hain jahan mein lekin
jo banane ka na ho ahl miTae to nahin
apni is shoKHi-e-raftar ka anjam na soch
fitne KHud uThne lage tu ne uThae to nahin
