tamam shahr mein us jaisa KHasta-haal na tha
tamām shahr meñ us jaisā ḳhasta-hāl na thā
magar vo shaḳhs ki phir bhī koī malāl na thā
ye aur baat maiñ apnī anā meñ qaid rahā
vagarna us kā pighalnā to kuchh muhāl na thā
bichhaḌ gayā hai to ye kah ke dil ko bahlāūñ
vajūd us kā mire haq meñ nek-fāl na thā
samajh rahā thā muhāfiz jise maiñ barsoñ se
mujhī ko qatl karegā ye ehtimāl na thā
simaT ga.ī hai sabhī ke ḳhulūs kī chādar
ye jazba pahle to is darja pā.emāl na thā
ḳhamosh sunte rahe sab amīr-e-shahr kā hukm
kisī ke lab pe koī harf-e-ishti.āl na thā
tamam shahr mein us jaisa KHasta-haal na tha
magar wo shaKHs ki phir bhi koi malal na tha
ye aur baat main apni ana mein qaid raha
wagarna us ka pighalna to kuchh muhaal na tha
bichhaD gaya hai to ye kah ke dil ko bahlaun
wajud us ka mere haq mein nek-fal na tha
samajh raha tha muhafiz jise main barson se
mujhi ko qatl karega ye ehtimal na tha
simaT gai hai sabhi ke KHulus ki chadar
ye jazba pahle to is darja paemal na tha
KHamosh sunte rahe sab amir-e-shahr ka hukm
kisi ke lab pe koi harf-e-ishtial na tha
