wo jo hoti thi faza-e-dastani le gaya
vo jo hotī thī fazā-e-dāstānī le gayā
ahd-e-nau ghar ghar se pariyoñ kī kahānī le gayā
aur le jaatā bhī kyā TuuTe hue rishte kā dukh
kāsa-e-dil se lahū āñkhoñ se paanī le gayā
us ko jaanā thā chalā jaatā magar jaate hue
chhīn kar mujh se vo apnī har nishānī le gayā
kyuuñ nahīñ khilte ab āñkhoñ meñ ravādārī ke phuul
kyā huā ye kaun rabt-e-darmiyānī le gayā
vo qalandar the so un ko saarī duniyā ek thī
chal diye uTh kar jahāñ bhī dāna-pānī le gayā
ik nazar meñ kar diyā mas.hūr kyā sāhir thā vo
munjamid kar ke mujhe merī ravānī le gayā
us ke aage rañg jitne the vo phīke paḌ ga.e
sab pe sabqat ek aks-e-za.afrānī le gayā
jitne dukh aa.e miTāne ko hamīñ ḳhud miT ga.e
kab koī 'raḳhshāñ' hamārī saḳht-jānī le gayā
wo jo hoti thi faza-e-dastani le gaya
ahd-e-nau ghar ghar se pariyon ki kahani le gaya
aur le jata bhi kya TuTe hue rishte ka dukh
kasa-e-dil se lahu aankhon se pani le gaya
us ko jaana tha chala jata magar jate hue
chhin kar mujh se wo apni har nishani le gaya
kyun nahin khilte ab aankhon mein rawadari ke phul
kya hua ye kaun rabt-e-darmiyani le gaya
wo qalandar the so un ko sari duniya ek thi
chal diye uTh kar jahan bhi dana-pani le gaya
ek nazar mein kar diya mashur kya sahir tha wo
munjamid kar ke mujhe meri rawani le gaya
us ke aage rang jitne the wo phike paD gae
sab pe sabqat ek aks-e-zafrani le gaya
jitne dukh aae miTane ko hamin KHud miT gae
kab koi 'raKHshan' hamari saKHt-jaani le gaya
