uski wafa na meri wafa ka sawal tha
us kī vafā na merī vafā kā savāl thā
donoñ hī chup the sirf anā kā savāl thā
is kashmakash meñ ḳhatm huā raat kā safar
zid thī mirī to us kī hayā kā savāl thā
sab muntazir the āsmāñ detā hai kyā javāb
pyāse laboñ pe kaalī ghaTā kā savāl thā
majbūr ham the aur vo muḳhtār thā magar
donoñ ke beach dast duā kā savāl thā
jaanā thā mai-kade se hameñ kū-e-yār tak
lekin hamārī laġhzish-e-pā kā savāl thā
taqsīm karne niklā thā vo raushnī magar
jalte hue diye ko havā kā savāl thā
'dānā' mujhe azal se ġhazal kī talāsh thī
ye merī zindagī kī adā kā savāl thā
us ki wafa na meri wafa ka sawal tha
donon hi chup the sirf ana ka sawal tha
is kashmakash mein KHatm hua raat ka safar
zid thi meri to us ki haya ka sawal tha
sab muntazir the aasman deta hai kya jawab
pyase labon pe kali ghaTa ka sawal tha
majbur hum the aur wo muKHtar tha magar
donon ke beach dast dua ka sawal tha
jaana tha mai-kade se hamein ku-e-yar tak
lekin hamari laghzish-e-pa ka sawal tha
taqsim karne nikla tha wo raushni magar
jalte hue diye ko hawa ka sawal tha
'dana' mujhe azal se ghazal ki talash thi
ye meri zindagi ki ada ka sawal tha
