wo lamha mere liye kis qadar azab ka tha
vo lamha mere liye kis qadar azaab kā thā
haqīqatoñ pe gumāñ jab ḳhayāl-o-ḳhvāb kā thā
tamām-umr ham apnī anā meñ mast rahe
vo nashsha sab se alag thā jo is sharāb meñ thā
kahāñ ga.e mire mausam vo ārzūoñ ke
kahāñ gayā jo zamāna mire shabāb kā thā
miTā diye the sabhī harf ġham kī bārish ne
ajiib haal mirī ziist kī kitāb kā thā
jalā na thā mire ghar meñ koī diyā jab tak
kahāñ ye rañg havāoñ ke pech-o-tāb kā thā
hue buland kuchh itne ki hosh hī na rahā
vo thā zamīn kā manzar ki māhtāb kā thā
uḌī hai aaj bahut ḳhaak us jagah 'ḳhāvar'
harā-bharā koī paudā jahāñ gulāb kā thā
wo lamha mere liye kis qadar azab ka tha
haqiqaton pe guman jab KHayal-o-KHwab ka tha
tamam-umr hum apni ana mein mast rahe
wo nashsha sab se alag tha jo is sharab mein tha
kahan gae mere mausam wo aarzuon ke
kahan gaya jo zamana mere shabab ka tha
miTa diye the sabhi harf gham ki barish ne
ajib haal meri zist ki kitab ka tha
jala na tha mere ghar mein koi diya jab tak
kahan ye rang hawaon ke pech-o-tab ka tha
hue buland kuchh itne ki hosh hi na raha
wo tha zamin ka manzar ki mahtab ka tha
uDi hai aaj bahut KHak us jagah 'KHawar'
hara-bhara koi pauda jahan gulab ka tha
