yahi nahin ki zaKHm-e-jaan ko chaara-ju mila nahin
yahī nahīñ ki zaḳhm-e-jāñ ko chāra-jū milā nahīñ
ye haal thā ki dil ko ism-e-ārzū milā nahīñ
abhī talak jo ḳhvāb the charāġh the gulāb the
vo rahguzar koī na thī ki jis pe tū milā nahīñ
tamām umr kī masāfatoñ ke ba.ad hī khulā
kabhī kabhī vo paas thā jo chaar sū milā nahīñ
vo jaise ik ḳhayāl thā jo zindagī pe chhā gayā
rifāqateñ thiiñ aur yuuñ ki rū-ba-rū milā nahīñ
tamām ā.inoñ meñ aks the mirī nigāh ke
bhare nagar meñ ek bhī mujhe adū milā nahīñ
virāsatoñ ke haath meñ jo ik kitāb thī milī
kitāb meñ jo harf hai sitāra-ḳhū milā nahīñ
vo kaisī aas thī adā jo kū-ba-kū liye phirī
vo kuchh to thā jo dil ko aaj tak kabhū milā nahīñ
yahi nahin ki zaKHm-e-jaan ko chaara-ju mila nahin
ye haal tha ki dil ko ism-e-arzu mila nahin
abhi talak jo KHwab the charagh the gulab the
wo rahguzar koi na thi ki jis pe tu mila nahin
tamam umr ki masafaton ke baad hi khula
kabhi kabhi wo pas tha jo chaar su mila nahin
wo jaise ek KHayal tha jo zindagi pe chha gaya
rifaqaten thin aur yun ki ru-ba-ru mila nahin
tamam aainon mein aks the meri nigah ke
bhare nagar mein ek bhi mujhe adu mila nahin
wirasaton ke hath mein jo ek kitab thi mili
kitab mein jo harf hai sitara-KHu mila nahin
wo kaisi aas thi ada jo ku-ba-ku liye phiri
wo kuchh to tha jo dil ko aaj tak kabhu mila nahin
