wo log bhi hain jo maujon se Dar gae honge
vo log bhī haiñ jo maujoñ se Dar ga.e hoñge
magar jo Duub ga.e paar utar ga.e hoñge
lagī ye fikr na.ī dil ko aa ke manzil par
kahāñ bhaTak ke mire ham-safar ga.e hoñge
palaT ke aañkh meñ vo mauj-e-ḳhūñ nahīñ aa.ī
chaḌhe hue the jo dariyā utar ga.e hoñge
chale to ek hī raste pe ham magar na mile
mile bhī hoñge to bach kar guzar ga.e hoñge
jo maut se na Dare vo bhī tere saath nahīñ
ki zindagī ke savāloñ se Dar ga.e hoñge
jahāñ ye baaġh hai pahle yahāñ bayābāñ thā
zarūr idhar se tire ḳhush-nazar ga.e hoñge
jo shāh-rāhoñ pe dekhe haiñ log patthar ke
talab meñ jiine kī ye sū-e-zar ga.e hoñge
hamārī kisht-e-dil-o-jāñ se us kī mizhgāñ tak
ye silsile tire ai chashm-e-tar ga.e hoñge
jo mil gayā hai to ab mujh se hāl-e-hijr na pūchh
kisī tarah se vo din bhī guzar ga.e hoñge
'salīm' ziist to mushkil thī be-dayāroñ kī
vatan se duur kahīñ jā ke mar ga.e hoñge
wo log bhi hain jo maujon se Dar gae honge
magar jo Dub gae par utar gae honge
lagi ye fikr nai dil ko aa ke manzil par
kahan bhaTak ke mere ham-safar gae honge
palaT ke aankh mein wo mauj-e-KHun nahin aai
chaDhe hue the jo dariya utar gae honge
chale to ek hi raste pe hum magar na mile
mile bhi honge to bach kar guzar gae honge
jo maut se na Dare wo bhi tere sath nahin
ki zindagi ke sawalon se Dar gae honge
jahan ye bagh hai pahle yahan bayaban tha
zarur idhar se tere KHush-nazar gae honge
jo shah-rahon pe dekhe hain log patthar ke
talab mein jine ki ye su-e-zar gae honge
hamari kisht-e-dil-o-jaan se us ki mizhgan tak
ye silsile tere ai chashm-e-tar gae honge
jo mil gaya hai to ab mujh se haal-e-hijr na puchh
kisi tarah se wo din bhi guzar gae honge
'salim' zist to mushkil thi be-dayaron ki
watan se dur kahin ja ke mar gae honge
