wahshaton ka kabhi shaidai nahin tha itna
vahshatoñ kā kabhī shaidā.ī nahīñ thā itnā
jaise ab huuñ tirā saudā.ī nahīñ thā itnā
bār-hā dil ne tirā qurb bhī chāhā thā magar
aaj kī tarah tamannā.ī nahīñ thā itnā
is se pahle bhī ka.ī baar mile the lekin
shauq dildāda-e-rusvā.ī nahīñ thā itnā
paas rah kar mujhe yuuñ qurb kā ehsās na thā
duur rah kar ġham-e-tanhā.ī nahīñ thā itnā
apne hī sāyoñ meñ kyuuñ kho ga.iiñ nazreñ 'ḳhātir'
tū kabhī apnā tamāshā.ī nahīñ thā itnā
wahshaton ka kabhi shaidai nahin tha itna
jaise ab hun tera saudai nahin tha itna
bar-ha dil ne tera qurb bhi chaha tha magar
aaj ki tarah tamannai nahin tha itna
is se pahle bhi kai bar mile the lekin
shauq dildada-e-ruswai nahin tha itna
pas rah kar mujhe yun qurb ka ehsas na tha
dur rah kar gham-e-tanhai nahin tha itna
apne hi sayon mein kyun kho gain nazren 'KHatir'
tu kabhi apna tamashai nahin tha itna
