un dinon humne KHayalon pe tasarruf kiya tha

un dinoñ ham ne ḳhayāloñ pe tasarruf kiyā thā

shā'irī tark nahīñ kī thī tavaqquf kiyā thā

jaane kyā thā vo ta'alluq ki judā hote hue

ham bhī pachhtā.e the us ne bhī ta.assuf kiyā thā

kaisī hasrat se hameñ dekh rahā thā vo ġham

pesh jab ham ne use dil kā ta'āruf kiyā thā

raat yādoñ ne ka.ī pahr masāfat ke baġhair

manzil-e-chashm sajāne kā takalluf kiyā thā

'ishq ik 'umr salīqe se chhupāyā thā 'nafīs'

yā'nī ik 'umr talak kār-e-tasavvuf kiyā thā

un dinon hum ne KHayalon pe tasarruf kiya tha

sha'iri tark nahin ki thi tawaqquf kiya tha

jaane kya tha wo ta'alluq ki juda hote hue

hum bhi pachhtae the us ne bhi tassuf kiya tha

kaisi hasrat se hamein dekh raha tha wo gham

pesh jab hum ne use dil ka ta'aruf kiya tha

raat yaadon ne kai pahr masafat ke baghair

manzil-e-chashm sajaane ka takalluf kiya tha

'ishq ek 'umr saliqe se chhupaya tha 'nafis'

ya'ni ek 'umr talak kar-e-tasawwuf kiya tha
