maiñ to hairān huuñ kis tarah kaTe rāh-e-hayāt
ik nayā moḌ bahar-gām ubhar aatā hai
sar-e-tārīkī-e-shab khul jo gayā āḳhir-e-shab
phir nayā raaz ba-har-sub.h nikhar aatā hai
jāñchtā phirtā huuñ maazī ke khañDar hasrat se
dekhtā phirtā huuñ har naqsh-e-hasīñ hairat se
sochtā phirtā huuñ kaun aayā thā kab aayā thā
us jagah saath liye kāvish-e-takmīl-e-hayāt
DhūñDhtā phirtā huuñ shāyad ki ye maazī ke nuqūsh
kuchh patā deñ ki shab roz batā.ūñ kyūñkar
ġham ke qābil maiñ ḳhud apne ko banā.ūñ kyūñkar
nit na.e ġham ke girāñ-bār uThā.ūñ kyūñkar
duur ik husn kā panchhī sā nazar aatā hai
qaid kar luuñ use shāyad ki bahal jaa.e ye dil
dil kī āvāz thakī-hārī fasurda bojhal
jis ne taḳh.īl kī duniyā meñ machā dī halchal
maiñ koī tifl nahīñ huuñ ki bahal jā.ūñgā
na karo qaid mujhe husn ke bahlāoñ meñ
ik nazar jhāñk ke dekho mirī āshāoñ meñ
tum hī ḳhud sharm se ho jāoge paanī paanī
ek bebas ko magar dete ho kyuuñ aisā fareb
ab maiñ kis rah meñ ġham-e-dil kā mudāvā DhūñDūñ
an-ginat fikr kī rāheñ nazar aatī haiñ mujhe
ik nayā moḌ ba-har-gām ubhar aatā hai
aur har moḌ nazar aatā hai kitnā dilkash
jannat-e-qalb-o-nazar chāñd-sitāroñ kā jahāñ
jaise andāz-e-sabā jaise bahāroñ kā jahāñ
jaise jaadū bhare nainoñ ke nigāroñ kā jahāñ
jaise ma.asūm nigāhoñ meñ ishāroñ kā jahāñ
jaise phūloñ bharī shāḳhoñ pe sharāroñ kā jahāñ
uf maiñ kis rah meñ ġham-e-dil kā mudāvā DhūñDūñ
kis taraf jā.ūñ kise dil se lagā.e rakkhūñ
zindagī bhar ki phir us ziist ko jannat samjhūñ
har-dam ek ek nafas chāhe jidhar jā ke rahūñ
kaun is ziist ko kar saktā hai mahdūd-o-muqīm
us kī ek ek adā barq-sifat sho.ala-nafas
jī rahā huuñ na.ī ummīd liye har ik pal
ġham liye dil meñ ki maiñ kyā na banā kyuuñ na banā
ḳhush huuñ har ġham se ki idrāk kī sauġhāt hai ye
soch letā huuñ ki maiñ kyā huuñ yahī kyā kam hai
main to hairan hun kis tarah kaTe rah-e-hayat
ek naya moD bahar-gam ubhar aata hai
sar-e-tariki-e-shab khul jo gaya aaKHir-e-shab
phir naya raaz ba-har-subh nikhar aata hai
jaanchta phirta hun mazi ke khanDar hasrat se
dekhta phirta hun har naqsh-e-hasin hairat se
sochta phirta hun kaun aaya tha kab aaya tha
us jagah sath liye kawish-e-takmil-e-hayat
DhunDhta phirta hun shayad ki ye mazi ke nuqush
kuchh pata den ki shab roz bataun kyunkar
gham ke qabil main KHud apne ko banaun kyunkar
nit nae gham ke giran-bar uThaun kyunkar
dur ek husn ka panchhi sa nazar aata hai
qaid kar lun use shayad ki bahal jae ye dil
dil ki aawaz thaki-haari fasurda bojhal
jis ne taKHil ki duniya mein macha di halchal
main koi tifl nahin hun ki bahal jaunga
na karo qaid mujhe husn ke bahlaon mein
ek nazar jhank ke dekho meri aashaon mein
tum hi KHud sharm se ho jaoge pani pani
ek bebas ko magar dete ho kyun aisa fareb
ab main kis rah mein gham-e-dil ka mudawa DhunDun
an-ginat fikr ki rahen nazar aati hain mujhe
ek naya moD ba-har-gam ubhar aata hai
aur har moD nazar aata hai kitna dilkash
jannat-e-qalb-o-nazar chand-sitaron ka jahan
jaise andaz-e-saba jaise bahaaron ka jahan
jaise jadu bhare nainon ke nigaron ka jahan
jaise masum nigahon mein ishaaron ka jahan
jaise phulon bhari shaKHon pe shararon ka jahan
uf main kis rah mein gham-e-dil ka mudawa DhunDun
kis taraf jaun kise dil se lagae rakkhun
zindagi bhar ki phir us zist ko jannat samjhun
har-dam ek ek nafas chahe jidhar ja ke rahun
kaun is zist ko kar sakta hai mahdud-o-muqim
us ki ek ek ada barq-sifat shoala-nafas
ji raha hun nai ummid liye har ek pal
gham liye dil mein ki main kya na bana kyun na bana
KHush hun har gham se ki idrak ki saughat hai ye
soch leta hun ki main kya hun yahi kya kam hai
