wo taqaza-e-junun ab ke bahaaron mein na tha
vo taqāzā-e-junūñ ab ke bahāroñ meñ na thā
ek dāman bhī to uljhā huā ḳhāroñ meñ na thā
ashk-e-ġham tham ga.e yaad aate hī un kī sūrat
jab chaḌhā chāñd to phir nuur sitāroñ meñ na thā
marne jiine ko na samjhe to ḳhatā kis kī hai
kaun sā hukm hai jo un ke ishāroñ meñ na thā
har qadam ḳhaak se dāman ko bachāyā tum ne
phir ye shikva hai ki maiñ rāh-guzāroñ meñ na thā
tum sā lākhoñ meñ na thā jān-e-tamannā lekin
ham sā mahrūm-e-tamannā bhī hazāroñ meñ na thā
'hosh' karte na agar zabt-e-fuġhāñ kyā karte
pursish-e-ġham kā salīqa bhī to yāroñ meñ na thā
wo taqaza-e-junun ab ke bahaaron mein na tha
ek daman bhi to uljha hua KHaron mein na tha
ashk-e-gham tham gae yaad aate hi un ki surat
jab chaDha chand to phir nur sitaron mein na tha
marne jine ko na samjhe to KHata kis ki hai
kaun sa hukm hai jo un ke ishaaron mein na tha
har qadam KHak se daman ko bachaya tum ne
phir ye shikwa hai ki main rah-guzaron mein na tha
tum sa lakhon mein na tha jaan-e-tamanna lekin
hum sa mahrum-e-tamanna bhi hazaron mein na tha
'hosh' karte na agar zabt-e-fughan kya karte
pursish-e-gham ka saliqa bhi to yaron mein na tha
