wo bahte dariya ki be-karani se Dar raha tha
vo bahte dariyā kī be-karānī se Dar rahā thā
shadīd pyāsā thā aur paanī se Dar rahā thā
nazar nazar kī yaqīñ-pasandī pe ḳhush thī lekin
badan badan kī gumāñ-risānī se Dar rahā thā
sabhī ko niiñd aa chukī thī yuuñ to parī se mil kar
magar vo ik tifl jo kahānī se Dar rahā thā
larazte hoñToñ se gir paḌe the hurūf ik din
dil apne jazboñ kī tarjumānī se Dar rahā thā
luġhāt-e-jāñ se kashīd karte hue suḳhan ko
maiñ ek harf-e-ġhalat ma.ānī se Dar rahā thā
jamā huā ḳhuun hai ragoñ meñ na jaane kab se
rukā huā ḳhvāb hai ravānī se Dar rahā thā
vo be-nishāñ hai jise nishāñ kī havas thī 'āzar'
vo rā.egāñ hai jo rā.egānī se Dar rahā thā
wo bahte dariya ki be-karani se Dar raha tha
shadid pyasa tha aur pani se Dar raha tha
nazar nazar ki yaqin-pasandi pe KHush thi lekin
badan badan ki guman-risani se Dar raha tha
sabhi ko nind aa chuki thi yun to pari se mil kar
magar wo ek tifl jo kahani se Dar raha tha
larazte honTon se gir paDe the huruf ek din
dil apne jazbon ki tarjumani se Dar raha tha
lughat-e-jaan se kashid karte hue suKHan ko
main ek harf-e-ghalat maani se Dar raha tha
jama hua KHun hai ragon mein na jaane kab se
ruka hua KHwab hai rawani se Dar raha tha
wo be-nishan hai jise nishan ki hawas thi 'azar'
wo raegan hai jo raegani se Dar raha tha
