waraq waraq jo zamane ke shahkar mein tha
varaq varaq jo zamāne ke shāhkār meñ thā
vo zindagī kā sahīfa bhī intishār meñ thā
jise maiñ DhūñD rahā thā navā-e-bulbul meñ
vo naġhma pairahan-e-gul ke taar taar meñ thā
maiñ qatl ho ke zamāne meñ sarfarāz rahā
ki merī jiit kā pahlū bhī merī haar meñ thā
kaleje saare daraḳhtoñ ke sahme jaate the
havā kā ruḳh thā bhalā kis ke iḳhtiyār meñ thā
vo nā-shanās-vafā sej par thā phūloñ kī
maiñ āshnā-e-vafā dasht-e-ḳhār-ḳhār meñ thā
dayār-e-ġhair meñ hāsil thiiñ shohrateñ mujh ko
maiñ ajnabī kī tarah apne hī dayār meñ thā
samajh rahā thā maiñ ḳhvābīda ḳhud ko sāhil par
khulī jab aañkh to dariyā kī tez dhaar meñ thā
nigāh vāloñ meñ us kā bharam na rah paayā
vo sañg thā magar ā.īnoñ kī qatār meñ thā
mohabbateñ thiiñ mire iḳhtiyār meñ lekin
mohabbatoñ kā sila us ke iḳhtiyār meñ thā
chamak rahā vahī gauhar-e-vafā ban kar
'guhar' jo ashk mirī chashm-e-intizār meñ thā
waraq waraq jo zamane ke shahkar mein tha
wo zindagi ka sahifa bhi intishaar mein tha
jise main DhunD raha tha nawa-e-bulbul mein
wo naghma pairahan-e-gul ke tar tar mein tha
main qatl ho ke zamane mein sarfaraaz raha
ki meri jit ka pahlu bhi meri haar mein tha
kaleje sare daraKHton ke sahme jate the
hawa ka ruKH tha bhala kis ke iKHtiyar mein tha
wo na-shanas-wafa sej par tha phulon ki
main aashna-e-wafa dasht-e-KHar-KHar mein tha
dayar-e-ghair mein hasil thin shohraten mujh ko
main ajnabi ki tarah apne hi dayar mein tha
samajh raha tha main KHwabida KHud ko sahil par
khuli jab aankh to dariya ki tez dhaar mein tha
nigah walon mein us ka bharam na rah paya
wo sang tha magar aainon ki qatar mein tha
mohabbaten thin mere iKHtiyar mein lekin
mohabbaton ka sila us ke iKHtiyar mein tha
chamak raha wahi gauhar-e-wafa ban kar
'guhar' jo ashk meri chashm-e-intizar mein tha
