umr bhar shauq ka daftar likkha

umr bhar shauq kā daftar likkhā

lafz ik bhī na muassar likkhā

ham ne ashraf ko bhī ahqar likkhā

aadmī thā jise bandar likkhā

umr vaise to safar meñ guzrī

likhne baiThe to ise ghar likkhā

mausam-e-gul kī bashārat ma.alūm

paḌh liyā māthe pe patthar likkhā

ḳhaak se ḳhaak huī hai paidā

laakh sahrā ko samundar likkhā

ham vo bīmār haiñ achchhe na hue

tum abas nusḳha mukarrar likkhā

dāstāñ phir bhī mukammal na huī

sab kā sab ham ne to azbar likkhā

umr bhar shauq ka daftar likkha

lafz ek bhi na muassar likkha

hum ne ashraf ko bhi ahqar likkha

aadmi tha jise bandar likkha

umr waise to safar mein guzri

likhne baiThe to ise ghar likkha

mausam-e-gul ki bashaarat malum

paDh liya mathe pe patthar likkha

KHak se KHak hui hai paida

lakh sahra ko samundar likkha

hum wo bimar hain achchhe na hue

tum abas nusKHa mukarrar likkha

dastan phir bhi mukammal na hui

sab ka sab hum ne to azbar likkha
