tanhai ke shoalon pe machalne ke liye tha
tanhā.ī ke sho.aloñ pe machalne ke liye thā
kyā mujh sā javāñ aag meñ jalne ke liye thā
kyā kātib-e-taqdīr se zaḳhmoñ kī shikāyat
jo tiir thā tarkash meñ so chalne ke liye thā
jaltā hai mire dil meñ paḌā daaġh kī sūrat
jo chāñd sar-e-arsh nikalne ke liye thā
is jhiil meñ tujh se bhī koī lahr na uThī
aur tū mirī taqdīr badalne ke liye thā
māyūs na jā aa ġham-e-daurāñ mire nazdīk
tū hī mirī bāñhoñ meñ machalne ke liye thā
ye Dastī huī raat guzar jā.egī yaaro
vo hañstā huā din bhī to Dhalne ke liye thā
kuchh aañch mire lams kī garmī se bhī pahuñchī
vo barf sā paikar bhī pighalne ke liye thā
tafrīq ne mulkoñ kī tarāshe haiñ aqā.ed
insān bas ik raah pe chalne ke liye thā
zinda hai mirī fikr mire karb se 'zulfī'
ye phuul isī shāḳh pe phalne ke liye thā
tanhai ke shoalon pe machalne ke liye tha
kya mujh sa jawan aag mein jalne ke liye tha
kya katib-e-taqdir se zaKHmon ki shikayat
jo tir tha tarkash mein so chalne ke liye tha
jalta hai mere dil mein paDa dagh ki surat
jo chand sar-e-arsh nikalne ke liye tha
is jhil mein tujh se bhi koi lahr na uThi
aur tu meri taqdir badalne ke liye tha
mayus na ja aa gham-e-dauran mere nazdik
tu hi meri banhon mein machalne ke liye tha
ye Dasti hui raat guzar jaegi yaro
wo hansta hua din bhi to Dhalne ke liye tha
kuchh aanch mere lams ki garmi se bhi pahunchi
wo barf sa paikar bhi pighalne ke liye tha
tafriq ne mulkon ki tarashe hain aqaed
insan bas ek rah pe chalne ke liye tha
zinda hai meri fikr mere karb se 'zulfi'
ye phul isi shaKH pe phalne ke liye tha
