wo apne juzw mein khoya gaya hai is had tak

vo apne juzv meñ khoyā gayā hai is had tak

ki us kī fahm se bāhar hai kal kī abjad tak

khaḌī haiñ raushaniyāñ dast-basta sadiyoñ se

hirā ke ġhaar se le kar gayā ke bargad tak

uThe to us ke fusūñ se lahak lahak jaa.e

nazar pahuñch na sake us kī qāmat-o-qad tak

pata chalā ki harārat nahīñ rahī dil meñ

guzar ke aag se aa.e the apne maqsad tak

vahī asaas banā umr ke hisāboñ kī

pahāḌā yaad kiyā thā jo ek se sad tak

vahī jo dosh par apne uThā sakā ḳhud ko

nasheb-e-farsh se pahuñchā farāz-e-masnad tak

wo apne juzw mein khoya gaya hai is had tak

ki us ki fahm se bahar hai kal ki abjad tak

khaDi hain raushaniyan dast-basta sadiyon se

hira ke ghaar se le kar gaya ke bargad tak

uThe to us ke fusun se lahak lahak jae

nazar pahunch na sake us ki qamat-o-qad tak

pata chala ki hararat nahin rahi dil mein

guzar ke aag se aae the apne maqsad tak

wahi asas bana umr ke hisabon ki

pahaDa yaad kiya tha jo ek se sad tak

wahi jo dosh par apne uTha saka KHud ko

nasheb-e-farsh se pahuncha faraaz-e-masnad tak
