ye kam nahin ke wahi sham ka sitara hai
ye kam nahīñ ke vahī shaam kā sitāra hai
jise fazīlat-e-tanhā.ī ne ubhārā hai
kahīñ surāġh nahīñ hai kisī bhī qātil kā
lahūluhān magar shahr kā nazāra hai
maiñ jā rahā huuñ mukammal vajūd paane ko
mujhe bhī sūrat-e-imkāñ ne ab pukārā hai
vo hañs ke har shab-e-zulmāt kaaT dete haiñ
vo jin ke siine meñ aflāk kā sipārā hai
charāġh jaltā rahegā hamesha ulfat kā
yahī vajūd ke anvār kā ishāra hai
ye kaisī sūrat-e-mahtāb khul rahī hai magar
zamīñ pe kis ne ise arsh se utārā hai
anā-shikār pe zāhir ye kab huā 'az.har'
use nibhāne meñ taqdīr kā ḳhasāra hai
ye kam nahin ke wahi sham ka sitara hai
jise fazilat-e-tanhai ne ubhaara hai
kahin suragh nahin hai kisi bhi qatil ka
lahuluhan magar shahr ka nazara hai
main ja raha hun mukammal wajud pane ko
mujhe bhi surat-e-imkan ne ab pukara hai
wo hans ke har shab-e-zulmat kaT dete hain
wo jin ke sine mein aflak ka sipara hai
charagh jalta rahega hamesha ulfat ka
yahi wajud ke anwar ka ishaara hai
ye kaisi surat-e-mahtab khul rahi hai magar
zamin pe kis ne ise arsh se utara hai
ana-shikar pe zahir ye kab hua 'azhar'
use nibhane mein taqdir ka KHasara hai
