siyaq-e-sher mein ek harf be-sarfa nahin hota
siyāq-e-she'r meñ ik harf be-sarfa nahīñ hotā
vahīñ likhte haiñ ham kuchh jis jagah likkhā nahīñ hotā
suḳhan-dānoñ kā kuchh iz.hār jhūTā ho bhī saktā hai
suḳhan-fahmoñ kā lekin tabsira jhūTā nahīñ hotā
dukhī dil dukhtī āñkhoñ par havā bhī baar hotī hai
mahaktī Dāliyoñ ko is kā andāza nahīñ hotā
surūr-e-fikr-o-fan bhī kitnī mīThī chiiz hotā hai
kisī talḳhī se is kā zā.iqa phīkā nahīñ hotā
agar ḳhalq-e-ḳhudā ne terī ḳhushbū sūñgh lī hotī
kisī ḳhushbū kā bazm-e-dahr meñ charchā nahīñ hotā
use kahte haiñ rasta jis jagah manzil nahīñ hotī
jahāñ hotī hai manzil us jagah rasta nahīñ hotā
ye patthar-lafz se dariyā ma'ānī ke nahīñ bahte
agar tesha parakh-pahchān kā sīkhā nahīñ hotā
bahut kam log is tahrīr kī tah tak pahuñchte haiñ
sabhī kuchh vaqt kī dīvār par likkhā nahīñ hotā
saḌak ke aadmī hī par saḌak kī dhuul hotī hai
jo mahloñ meñ haiñ un kā haath tak mailā nahīñ hotā
nayā iz.hār māñge hai suḳhan meñ valvala taaza
faqat alfāz se paidā nayā lahja nahīñ hotā
mirī āñkhoñ ne 'vasfī' ek aisā ḳhvāb dekhā hai
vahāñ bhī ḳhauf lagtā hai jahāñ ḳhatra nahīñ hotā
siyaq-e-she'r mein ek harf be-sarfa nahin hota
wahin likhte hain hum kuchh jis jagah likkha nahin hota
suKHan-danon ka kuchh izhaar jhuTa ho bhi sakta hai
suKHan-fahmon ka lekin tabsira jhuTa nahin hota
dukhi dil dukhti aankhon par hawa bhi bar hoti hai
mahakti Daliyon ko is ka andaza nahin hota
surur-e-fikr-o-fan bhi kitni miThi chiz hota hai
kisi talKHi se is ka zaiqa phika nahin hota
agar KHalq-e-KHuda ne teri KHushbu sungh li hoti
kisi KHushbu ka bazm-e-dahr mein charcha nahin hota
use kahte hain rasta jis jagah manzil nahin hoti
jahan hoti hai manzil us jagah rasta nahin hota
ye patthar-lafz se dariya ma'ani ke nahin bahte
agar tesha parakh-pahchan ka sikha nahin hota
bahut kam log is tahrir ki tah tak pahunchte hain
sabhi kuchh waqt ki diwar par likkha nahin hota
saDak ke aadmi hi par saDak ki dhul hoti hai
jo mahlon mein hain un ka hath tak maila nahin hota
naya izhaar mange hai suKHan mein walwala taza
faqat alfaz se paida naya lahja nahin hota
meri aankhon ne 'wasfi' ek aisa KHwab dekha hai
wahan bhi KHauf lagta hai jahan KHatra nahin hota
