uf wo ek harf-e-tamanna jo hamare dil mein tha
uf vo ik harf-e-tamannā jo hamāre dil meñ thā
ek tūfāñ thā ki barsoñ hasrat-e-sāhil meñ thā
rafta rafta har tamāshā āñsuoñ meñ Dhal gayā
jaane kyā āñkhoñ ne dekhā aur kyā manzil meñ thā
dāstān-e-ġham se lākhoñ dāstāneñ ban ga.ī
phir bhī vo ik rāz-e-sar-basta rahā jo dil meñ thā
chashm-e-sāqī ke alāva jām-e-ḳhālī ke sivā
kaun apnā āshnā aġhyār kī mahfil meñ thā
mere armānoñ kā markaz mere dardoñ kā ilaaj
TimTimātā sā diyā ik gosha-e-manzil meñ thā
guftugū ke ḳhatm ho jaane par aayā ye ḳhayāl
jo zabāñ tak aa nahīñ paayā vahī to dil meñ thā
miT ga.iiñ imroz o fardā kī hazāroñ uljhaneñ
jo sukūñ tūfāñ meñ paayā hai vo kab sāhil meñ thā
uf wo ek harf-e-tamanna jo hamare dil mein tha
ek tufan tha ki barson hasrat-e-sahil mein tha
rafta rafta har tamasha aansuon mein Dhal gaya
jaane kya aankhon ne dekha aur kya manzil mein tha
dastan-e-gham se lakhon dastanen ban gai
phir bhi wo ek raaz-e-sar-basta raha jo dil mein tha
chashm-e-saqi ke alawa jam-e-KHali ke siwa
kaun apna aashna aghyar ki mahfil mein tha
mere armanon ka markaz mere dardon ka ilaj
TimTimata sa diya ek gosha-e-manzil mein tha
guftugu ke KHatm ho jaane par aaya ye KHayal
jo zaban tak aa nahin paya wahi to dil mein tha
miT gain imroz o farda ki hazaron uljhanen
jo sukun tufan mein paya hai wo kab sahil mein tha
