simTun kahan se sath pe dariya rawan nahin
simTūñ kahāñ se sat.h pe dariyā ravāñ nahīñ
uThtā kahāñ se mauj meñ tāb-o-tavāñ nahīñ
thamtā nafas nafas ke ishāre qadam qadam
dauḌūñ maiñ kaise paañv meñ reg-e-ravāñ nahīñ
pursān-e-shab sitāre nahīñ haiñ sar-e-falak
shorīda-sar ḳhalāoñ bharā āsmāñ nahīñ
ik ranj-e-be-kanār tamavvuj-talab kahāñ
ik lutf-e-be-bahā sar-e-dāman girāñ nahīñ
kyā kahiye lams-hā-e-ḳharābī kā intishār
nazroñ meñ ab zamīn nahīñ āsmāñ nahīñ
'ālam pe laḳht laḳht paḌe raushnī kā bojh
āvāra-pā bhī shākī-e-zulmat-fashāñ nahīñ
phir dasht-e-lā-makāñ meñ sadā-e-jaras kahāñ
phir musht-e-ḳhāk lā.eq-e-sad-imtihāñ nahīñ
simTun kahan se sath pe dariya rawan nahin
uThta kahan se mauj mein tab-o-tawan nahin
thamta nafas nafas ke ishaare qadam qadam
dauDun main kaise panw mein reg-e-rawan nahin
pursan-e-shab sitare nahin hain sar-e-falak
shorida-sar KHalaon bhara aasman nahin
ek ranj-e-be-kanar tamawwuj-talab kahan
ek lutf-e-be-baha sar-e-daman giran nahin
kya kahiye lams-ha-e-KHarabi ka intishaar
nazron mein ab zamin nahin aasman nahin
'alam pe laKHt laKHt paDe raushni ka bojh
aawara-pa bhi shaki-e-zulmat-fashan nahin
phir dasht-e-la-makan mein sada-e-jaras kahan
phir musht-e-KHak laeq-e-sad-imtihan nahin
