yun nikalti hai meri baat dahan se uske
yuuñ nikaltī hai mirī baat dahan se us ke
jaise barsoñ kā ta.āruf ho badan se us ke
yuuñ sar-e-bazm milā TuuT ke ik umr pe vo
ham bhī ghabrā ga.e be-sāḳhta-pan se us ke
us kā lahja hai ki bahtī huī naġhmoñ kī nadī
jaise ilhām kī bārish ho suḳhan se us ke
us se mil ke bhī ḳhalā ab bhī vahī ruuh meñ hai
mutma.in dil bhī nahīñ sarv-o-saman se us ke
ḳhilqat-e-shahr ne afsāne tarāshe kyā kyā
dil tahī-dast hī lauTā hai chaman se us ke
is tarah shahr salīboñ se sajāyā us ne
koī mahfūz nahīñ dār-o-rasan se us ke
dekhnā kis ke lahū se hai charāġhāñ maqtal
ek ugtā huā sūraj hai kafan se us ke
yun nikalti hai meri baat dahan se us ke
jaise barson ka taaruf ho badan se us ke
yun sar-e-bazm mila TuT ke ek umr pe wo
hum bhi ghabra gae be-saKHta-pan se us ke
us ka lahja hai ki bahti hui naghmon ki nadi
jaise ilham ki barish ho suKHan se us ke
us se mil ke bhi KHala ab bhi wahi ruh mein hai
mutmain dil bhi nahin sarw-o-saman se us ke
KHilqat-e-shahr ne afsane tarashe kya kya
dil tahi-dast hi lauTa hai chaman se us ke
is tarah shahr salibon se sajaya us ne
koi mahfuz nahin dar-o-rasan se us ke
dekhna kis ke lahu se hai charaghan maqtal
ek ugta hua suraj hai kafan se us ke
