agar ye sab kuchh nahin
mile to ham aaj bhī haiñ lekin
na mere dil meñ vo tishnagī thī
ki tujh se mil kar kabhī na bichhḌūñ
na aaj tujh meñ vo zindagī thī
ki jism-o-jāñ meñ ubaal aa.e
na ḳhvāb-zāroñ meñ raushnī thī
na merī āñkheñ charāġh kī lau
na tujh meñ hī ḳhud-supurdagī thī
na baat karne kī koī ḳhvāhish
na chup hī meñ ḳhūb-sūratī thī
mujassamoñ kī tarah the donoñ
na dostī thī na dushmanī thī
mujhe to kuchh yuuñ lagā hai jaise
vo sā.ateñ bhī guzar ga.ī haiñ
ki jin ko ham lā-zavāl samjhe
vo ḳhvāhisheñ bhī to mar ga.ī haiñ
jo tere mere lahū kī hiddat
ko āḳhirash barf kar ga.ī haiñ
mohabbateñ shauq kī chaTānoñ
se ghāTiyoñ meñ utar ga.ī haiñ
vo qurbateñ vo judā.iyāñ sab
ġhubār ban kar bikhar ga.ī haiñ
agar ye sab kuchh nahīñ to batlā
vo chāhateñ ab kidhar ga.ī haiñ
mile to hum aaj bhi hain lekin
na mere dil mein wo tishnagi thi
ki tujh se mil kar kabhi na bichhDun
na aaj tujh mein wo zindagi thi
ki jism-o-jaan mein ubaal aae
na KHwab-zaron mein raushni thi
na meri aankhen charagh ki lau
na tujh mein hi KHud-supurdagi thi
na baat karne ki koi KHwahish
na chup hi mein KHub-surati thi
mujassamon ki tarah the donon
na dosti thi na dushmani thi
mujhe to kuchh yun laga hai jaise
wo saaten bhi guzar gai hain
ki jin ko hum la-zawal samjhe
wo KHwahishen bhi to mar gai hain
jo tere mere lahu ki hiddat
ko aaKHirash barf kar gai hain
mohabbaten shauq ki chaTanon
se ghaTiyon mein utar gai hain
wo qurbaten wo judaiyan sab
ghubar ban kar bikhar gai hain
agar ye sab kuchh nahin to batla
wo chahaten ab kidhar gai hain
