tanhai ka zaKHm tha kaisa sannaTon ne bhara namak

tanhā.ī kā zaḳhm thā kaisā sannāToñ ne bharā namak

aisā chhalkā zaḳhm ki saarā palkoñ se bah gayā namak

halve māñDe sab mīThe the khā pī kar vo bhuul ga.e

talḳh anāsir kā sangam thā rag rag meñ rah gayā namak

zaḳhmoñ ke gul kyā dho.egī rut rasiyā barsāt jahāñ

har mausam har aan bikhere chaltī phirtī havā namak

añgḌā.ī kī mehrāboñ meñ rang-e-dhanak vo kyuuñ na bhareñ

jin kī har har baat rasīlī jin kī har har adā namak

lekh lifāfe se bāhar thā surḳhī thī mazmūn ba-kaf

masak ga.iiñ mīThī muskāneñ hoñT khule aur girā namak

jaane kyā kyā aks ugalte khul kar dhuñdle ā.īne

aTe hue zaḳhmoñ par 'rāhī' kaun chhiḌaktā kharā namak

tanhai ka zaKHm tha kaisa sannaTon ne bhara namak

aisa chhalka zaKHm ki sara palkon se bah gaya namak

halwe manDe sab miThe the kha pi kar wo bhul gae

talKH anasir ka sangam tha rag rag mein rah gaya namak

zaKHmon ke gul kya dhoegi rut rasiya barsat jahan

har mausam har aan bikhere chalti phirti hawa namak

angDai ki mehrabon mein rang-e-dhanak wo kyun na bharen

jin ki har har baat rasili jin ki har har ada namak

lekh lifafe se bahar tha surKHi thi mazmun ba-kaf

masak gain miThi muskanen honT khule aur gira namak

jaane kya kya aks ugalte khul kar dhundle aaine

aTe hue zaKHmon par 'rahi' kaun chhiDakta khara namak
