usko mil kar dekh shayad wo tera aaina ho
us ko mil kar dekh shāyad vo tirā ā.īna ho
ġhā.ebāna hī tirī us kī shanāsā.ī na ho
mujh pe zāhir hai tire jī meñ haiñ kyā kyā ḳhvāhisheñ
baat aisī kar ki jis meñ terī rusvā.ī na ho
ehtiyātan dekhtā chal apne saa.e kī taraf
is tarah shāyad tujhe ehsās-e-tanhā.ī na ho
āsmāñ ik dasht kī sūrat sitāre ret haiñ
to lab-e-dariyā sarāboñ kā tamannā.ī na ho
DhūñDh ab kuchh bhāgte logoñ meñ sūrat āshnā
in bagūloñ meñ ga.e lamhoñ kī purvā.ī na ho
thā safar dar-pesh sahrā kā girah meñ rakh diye
us ne kuchh kāñTe ki uzr-e-ābla-pā.ī na ho
khīñch legā abr se bārish agar sabza huā
tū kisī kī chaah meñ be-kār saudā.ī na ho
ham use chhūkar yahī samjhe ki vo patthar nahīñ
is se baḌh kar aur kyā kahiye jo bīnā.ī na ho
khul ga.ī hai aañkh to chādar banā kar dekh le
tere kamre hī meñ in ḳhvāboñ kī ra.anā.ī na ho
zaḳhm tere dil kī zīnat haiñ unheñ parde meñ rakh
koī nā-mahram tire ghar kā tamāshā.ī na ho
aaj 'shāhid' us ke darvāze pe paañv ruk ga.e
radio bajtā thā maiñ chauñkā ki shahnā.ī na ho
us ko mil kar dekh shayad wo tera aaina ho
ghaebana hi teri us ki shanasai na ho
mujh pe zahir hai tere ji mein hain kya kya KHwahishen
baat aisi kar ki jis mein teri ruswai na ho
ehtiyatan dekhta chal apne sae ki taraf
is tarah shayad tujhe ehsas-e-tanhai na ho
aasman ek dasht ki surat sitare ret hain
to lab-e-dariya sarabon ka tamannai na ho
DhunDh ab kuchh bhagte logon mein surat aashna
in bagulon mein gae lamhon ki purwai na ho
tha safar dar-pesh sahra ka girah mein rakh diye
us ne kuchh kanTe ki uzr-e-abla-pai na ho
khinch lega abr se barish agar sabza hua
tu kisi ki chah mein be-kar saudai na ho
hum use chhukar yahi samjhe ki wo patthar nahin
is se baDh kar aur kya kahiye jo binai na ho
khul gai hai aankh to chadar bana kar dekh le
tere kamre hi mein in KHwabon ki ranai na ho
zaKHm tere dil ki zinat hain unhen parde mein rakh
koi na-mahram tere ghar ka tamashai na ho
aaj 'shahid' us ke darwaze pe panw ruk gae
radio bajta tha main chaunka ki shahnai na ho
