simaT rahi thi wahan raat paikar-e-jaan mein
simaT rahī thī vahāñ raat paikar-e-jāñ meñ
'ajīb hū kā samāñ thā dayār-e-jānāñ meñ
vo TikTikī hī na thī lafz jis se bol uThe
koī sadā hī na thī ab to dasht-e-imkāñ meñ
kahāñ gayā vo tire saath kā ta.alluq-e-jāñ
ki sab añdhere the pinhāñ jabīn-e-tābāñ meñ
hayāt-zār huī dekhte rahe ham bhī
ki koī bhī to pashemāñ na thā dil-o-jāñ meñ
maiñ terā raaz thā tere vujūd se pahle
tirī to chhab bhī na thī jab dayār-e-ḳhūbāñ meñ
maraz zarūr hai āshuftagī ne jaan liyā
magar umiid nahīñ rah ga.ī thī darmāñ meñ
vo tai-shuda thā jise pūchhne chale the 'matīn'
nahīñ nahīñ meñ milā kuchh na us kī haañ haañ meñ
simaT rahi thi wahan raat paikar-e-jaan mein
'ajib hu ka saman tha dayar-e-jaanan mein
wo TikTiki hi na thi lafz jis se bol uThe
koi sada hi na thi ab to dasht-e-imkan mein
kahan gaya wo tere sath ka talluq-e-jaan
ki sab andhere the pinhan jabin-e-taban mein
hayat-zar hui dekhte rahe hum bhi
ki koi bhi to pasheman na tha dil-o-jaan mein
main tera raaz tha tere wujud se pahle
teri to chhab bhi na thi jab dayar-e-KHuban mein
maraz zarur hai aashuftagi ne jaan liya
magar umid nahin rah gai thi darman mein
wo tai-shuda tha jise puchhne chale the 'matin'
nahin nahin mein mila kuchh na us ki han han mein
