yun to shumar sab ka wahan doston mein tha
yuuñ to shumār sab kā vahāñ dostoñ meñ thā
shāmil magar na koī kisī ke dukhoñ meñ thā
mere ḳhilāf jis ne bune sāzishoñ ke jaal
vo mere dushmanoñ meñ nahīñ dostoñ meñ thā
maanā ki ham ko aap se thiiñ ranjisheñ bahut
lekin kuchh aap ke bhī ta'assub diloñ meñ thā
maiñ jāntā huuñ dūsre nāmoñ ke saath saath
ḳhud merā naam bhī to mire qātiloñ meñ thā
tūfān so ga.e the agar sat.h-e-āb par
lekin vo iztirāb jo kal sāhiloñ meñ thā
kal shab maiñ apne saath rahā thā magar nahīñ
haañ yaad aa gayā ki 'ajab uljhanoñ meñ thā
aksar to bin-piye hī maiñ bad-mast ho gayā
aisā surūr aisā nasha un rutoñ meñ thā
'bāsit' ġham-e-zamāna se ġhāfil nahīñ thā maiñ
saare jahāñ kā ġham bhī to mere ġhamoñ meñ thā
yun to shumar sab ka wahan doston mein tha
shamil magar na koi kisi ke dukhon mein tha
mere KHilaf jis ne bune sazishon ke jal
wo mere dushmanon mein nahin doston mein tha
mana ki hum ko aap se thin ranjishen bahut
lekin kuchh aap ke bhi ta'assub dilon mein tha
main jaanta hun dusre namon ke sath sath
KHud mera nam bhi to mere qatilon mein tha
tufan so gae the agar sath-e-ab par
lekin wo iztirab jo kal sahilon mein tha
kal shab main apne sath raha tha magar nahin
han yaad aa gaya ki 'ajab uljhanon mein tha
aksar to bin-piye hi main bad-mast ho gaya
aisa surur aisa nasha un ruton mein tha
'basit' gham-e-zamana se ghafil nahin tha main
sare jahan ka gham bhi to mere ghamon mein tha
