    sitāre jitne bhī āsmāñ par

    mirī tamannā ke zau-fishāñ the

    zamīñ ke andar utar ga.e haiñ

    jo log rātoñ ko jāgte the vo mar ga.e haiñ

    vo phuul vo titliyāñ ki jin se

    bahār dilkashī sivā thī

    vo rizq-e-ḳhāshāk ban chuke the

    tamām manzar tamām chehre jo dhīre dhīre sulag rahe the

    so ab vo sab raakh ban chuke haiñ

    maiñ raftagāñ udaas yādoñ ke saa.e meñ din guzārtā huuñ

    agarche ḳhvāboñ pairahan taar taar hai

    pa maiñ use kab utārtā huuñ

    mirī sadā javāb ab koī bhī na degā

    ye jāntā huuñ magar musalsal kisī ko ab tak pukārtā huuñ

    ajiib ye khel hai ki jis ko na jīt.tā huuñ na hārtā huuñ

    mirī kahānī meñ koī shai bhī na.ī nahīñ hai

    ye nanhe munne hasīn ḳhvāboñ se hai ibārat

    mirī kahānī meñ narm din ḳhush-gavār shāmoñ

    udaas rātoñ ek rau hai

    vajūd merā kisī diye haqīr lau hai

    maiñ yuuñ to kahne ko aql o mantiq ke daur aadmī huuñ lekin

    mirā ravayya hai zindagī ko guzārne bahut purānā

    maiñ sochtā huuñ ki ik sadī qabl paidā hotā to Thiik rahtā

    ki mujh se koī bhī kuchh na kahtā

    jo ḳhaak rizq ho chuke haiñ

    maiñ un zamānoñ nauhagar huuñ

    visāl o hijrāñ dāstānoñ nauhagar huuñ

    jinheñ ye duniyā hazār-hā baar sun chukī hai

    sitare jitne bhi aasman par

    meri tamanna ke zau-fishan the

    zamin ke andar utar gae hain

    jo log raaton ko jagte the wo mar gae hain

    wo phul wo titliyan ki jin se

    bahaar ki dilkashi siwa thi

    wo rizq-e-KHashak ban chuke the

    tamam manzar tamam chehre jo dhire dhire sulag rahe the

    so ab wo sab rakh ban chuke hain

    main raftagan ki udas yaadon ke sae mein din guzarta hun

    agarche KHwabon ka pairahan tar tar sa hai

    pa main use kab utarta hun

    meri sada ka jawab ab koi bhi na dega

    ye jaanta hun magar musalsal kisi ko ab tak pukarta hun

    ajib ye khel hai ki jis ko na jitta hun na haarta hun

    meri kahani mein koi shai bhi nai nahin hai

    ye nanhe munne hasin KHwabon se hai ibarat

    meri kahani mein narm din KHush-gawar shamon

    udas raaton ki ek rau hai

    wajud mera kisi diye ki haqir lau hai

    main yun to kahne ko aql o mantiq ke daur ka aadmi hun lekin

    mera rawayya hai zindagi ko guzarne ka bahut purana

    main sochta hun ki ek sadi qabl paida hota to Thik rahta

    ki mujh se koi bhi kuchh na kahta

    jo KHak ka rizq ho chuke hain

    main un zamanon ka nauhagar hun

    visal o hijran ki dastanon ka nauhagar hun

    jinhen ye duniya hazar-ha bar sun chuki hai
