tujhko socha to pata ho gaya ruswai ko

tujh ko sochā to patā ho gayā rusvā.ī ko

maiñ ne mahfūz samajh rakkhā thā tanhā.ī ko

jism kī chaah lakīroñ se adā kartā hai

ḳhaak samjhegā musavvir tirī añgḌā.ī ko

apnī dariyā.ī pe itrā na bahut ai dariyā

ek qatra hī bahut hai tirī rusvā.ī ko

chāhe jitnā bhī bigaḌ jaa.e zamāne kā chalan

jhuuT se hārte dekhā nahīñ sachchā.ī ko

saath maujoñ ke sabhī hoñ jahāñ bahne vaale

kaun samjhegā samundar tirī gahrā.ī ko

apnī tanhā.ī bhī kuchh kam na thī masrūf 'vasīm'

is liye chhoḌ diyā anjuman-ārā.ī ko

tujh ko socha to pata ho gaya ruswai ko

main ne mahfuz samajh rakkha tha tanhai ko

jism ki chah lakiron se ada karta hai

KHak samjhega musawwir teri angDai ko

apni dariyai pe itra na bahut ai dariya

ek qatra hi bahut hai teri ruswai ko

chahe jitna bhi bigaD jae zamane ka chalan

jhuT se haarte dekha nahin sachchai ko

sath maujon ke sabhi hon jahan bahne wale

kaun samjhega samundar teri gahrai ko

apni tanhai bhi kuchh kam na thi masruf 'wasim'

is liye chhoD diya anjuman-arai ko
