uski chashm-e-karam thi hayat-afrin KHushk patton pe jaise nikhaar aa gaya

us kī chashm-e-karam thī hayāt-āfrīñ ḳhushk pattoñ pe jaise nikhār aa gayā

aarzū ke shagūfe mahakne lage dil kī be-chainiyoñ ko qarār aa gayā

dasht-e-ġhurbat meñ bhī zānū-e-dost par merī tanhā.ī ko ye ta.assur huā

bhūlā-bhaTkā huā ik musāfir koī yak-ba-yak jaise apne dayār aa gayā

umr-bhar fikr-e-duniyā meñ ġhaltāñ rahe maare maare phire muft rusvā hue

zindagī daf.atan zindagī ban ga.ī chaar āñkheñ huiiñ dil meñ pyaar aa gayā

bāñkpan un kā mash.hūr thā merī dīvāngī par hamesha hañse

lekin āñkhoñ se aañsū chhalakne lage sāmne jab hamārā mazār aa gayā

jāntā huuñ kudūrat burī chiiz hai aap se dushmanī kī tavaqqo na thī

duur honā bahut is kā dushvār hai dil ke ā.īne meñ jab ġhubār aa gayā

zaḳhm bharne lage dard tham sā gayā ik sahārā milā dil ko Dhāras bañdhī

us ke qaul-o-qasam meñ bhī ik baat thī jo bhī us ne kahā e'tibār aa gayā

us ki chashm-e-karam thi hayat-afrin KHushk patton pe jaise nikhaar aa gaya

aarzu ke shagufe mahakne lage dil ki be-chainiyon ko qarar aa gaya

dasht-e-ghurbat mein bhi zanu-e-dost par meri tanhai ko ye tassur hua

bhula-bhaTka hua ek musafir koi yak-ba-yak jaise apne dayar aa gaya

umr-bhar fikr-e-duniya mein ghaltan rahe mare mare phire muft ruswa hue

zindagi dafatan zindagi ban gai chaar aankhen huin dil mein pyar aa gaya

bankpan un ka mashhur tha meri diwangi par hamesha hanse

lekin aankhon se aansu chhalakne lage samne jab hamara mazar aa gaya

jaanta hun kudurat buri chiz hai aap se dushmani ki tawaqqo na thi

dur hona bahut is ka dushwar hai dil ke aaine mein jab ghubar aa gaya

zaKHm bharne lage dard tham sa gaya ek sahaara mila dil ko Dhaaras bandhi

us ke qaul-o-qasam mein bhi ek baat thi jo bhi us ne kaha e'tibar aa gaya
