bahut se logon ko gham ne jila ke mar diya
bahut se logoñ ko ġham ne jilā ke maar diyā
jo bach rahe the unheñ mai pilā ke maar diyā
ye kyā adā hai ki jab un kī barhamī se ham
na mar sake to hameñ muskurā ke maar diyā
na jaate aap to āġhosh kyuuñ tahī hotī
ga.e to aap ne pahlū se jā ke maar diyā
mujhe gila to nahīñ aap ke taġhāful se
magar huzūr ne himmat baḌhā ke maar diyā
na aap aas bañdhāte na ye sitam hotā
hameñ to aap ne amrit pilā ke maar diyā
kisī ne husn-e-taġhāful se jaañ talab kar lī
kisī ne lutf ke dariyā bahā ke maar diyā
jise bhī maiñ ne ziyāda tapāk se dekhā
usī hasīn ne patthar uThā ke maar diyā
vo log māñgeñge ab ziist kis ke āñchal se?
jinheñ huzūr ne dāman chhuḌā ke maar diyā
chale to ḳhanda-mizājī se jā rahe the ham
kisī hasīn ne raste meñ aa ke maar diyā
rah-e-hayāt meñ kuchh aise pech-o-ḳham to na the
kisī hasīn ne raste meñ aa ke maar diyā
karam kī sūrat-e-avval to jāñ-gudāz na thī
karam kā dūsrā pahlū dikhā ke maar diyā
ajiib ras-bharā rahzan thā jis ne logoñ ko
tarah tarah kī adā.eñ dikhā ke maar diyā
ajiib ḳhulq se ik ajnabī musāfir ne
hameñ ḳhilāf-e-tavaqqo.a bulā ke maar diyā
'adam' baḌe adab-ādāb se hasīnoñ ne
hameñ sitam kā nishāna banā ke maar diyā
ta.ayyunāt kī had tak to jī rahā thā 'adam'
ta.ayyunāt ke parde uThā ke maar diyā
bahut se logon ko gham ne jila ke mar diya
jo bach rahe the unhen mai pila ke mar diya
ye kya ada hai ki jab un ki barhami se hum
na mar sake to hamein muskura ke mar diya
na jate aap to aaghosh kyun tahi hoti
gae to aap ne pahlu se ja ke mar diya
mujhe gila to nahin aap ke taghaful se
magar huzur ne himmat baDha ke mar diya
na aap aas bandhate na ye sitam hota
hamein to aap ne amrit pila ke mar diya
kisi ne husn-e-taghaful se jaan talab kar li
kisi ne lutf ke dariya baha ke mar diya
jise bhi main ne ziyaada tapak se dekha
usi hasin ne patthar uTha ke mar diya
wo log mangenge ab zist kis ke aanchal se?
jinhen huzur ne daman chhuDa ke mar diya
chale to KHanda-mizaji se ja rahe the hum
kisi hasin ne raste mein aa ke mar diya
rah-e-hayat mein kuchh aise pech-o-KHam to na the
kisi hasin ne raste mein aa ke mar diya
karam ki surat-e-awwal to jaan-gudaz na thi
karam ka dusra pahlu dikha ke mar diya
ajib ras-bhara rahzan tha jis ne logon ko
tarah tarah ki adaen dikha ke mar diya
ajib KHulq se ek ajnabi musafir ne
hamein KHilaf-e-tawaqqoa bula ke mar diya
'adam' baDe adab-adab se hasinon ne
hamein sitam ka nishana bana ke mar diya
tayyunat ki had tak to ji raha tha 'adam'
tayyunat ke parde uTha ke mar diya
