    kahāñ the ham

    samundar kisī ḳhvāhish ke sāhil par

    hañstī bhīgtī saa.at sangat meñ

    hañsī kitnī sajal thī

    aañkh ke har kunj meñ

    titlī sūrat uḌtī phirtī thī

    rah-e-shab meñ ghanā jangal

    koī ajnabī rasta

    hamāre sāmne aatā

    to us dīvār ke siine se kitne dur nikal aa.e

    lahū taal par manzil

    dhaḌak uThtī thī pahlū meñ

    kisī ehsās ke dhuñdle

    ufuq se din nikal aatā

    aur apne saath kyā kyā

    qurmuzī kirnoñ meñ leTe

    pyaar ke sandes le aatā

    bahut takrīm ke mausam

    tah-e-jāñ se ubharte the

    duāoñ se bhare

    sarsabz hāthoñ ko yaqīñ thā

    jhilmilāte ḳhvāb

    ḳhushbū-ḳheziyoñ meñ fard hoñge

    aur taqarrub ke kisī

    betāb se pal ko jagā.eñge

    to sarpaT bhāgtī

    ye umr hirnī

    kisī zanjīr-e-va.ada meñ

    kahīñ ruk kar

    hameñ chāhat se dekhegī

    kahāñ haiñ ham

    kisī vīrān sāhil par

    hamārī aarzū kashtiyāñ

    auñdhī paḌī haiñ

    aur jaise niiñd ke

    be-tāb halkore zad meñ haiñ

    agar sūraj unheñ us niiñd se

    āzād karne ke liye

    kirnoñ ko koī izn detā hai

    to vo āñkhoñ pe

    apne haath rakh letī haiñ

    gahrī nā-gavārī se

    aur ab to

    vasl mish.al bhī ḳhvābīda hai

    sulgan se tahī hai

    aur us ke dasht meñ

    har barābar reshmī ḳhvāboñ

    niilī raakh uḌtī hai

    kahan the hum

    samundar si kisi KHwahish ke sahil par

    hansti bhigti saat ki sangat mein

    hansi kitni sajal thi

    aankh ke har kunj mein

    titli ki surat uDti phirti thi

    rah-e-shab mein ghana jangal

    ya koi ajnabi rasta

    hamare samne aata

    to us diwar ke sine se kitne dur nikal aae

    lahu ki tal par manzil

    dhaDak uThti thi pahlu mein

    kisi ehsas ke dhundle

    ufuq se din nikal aata

    aur apne sath kya kya

    qurmuzi kirnon mein leTe

    pyar ke sandes le aata

    bahut takrim ke mausam

    tah-e-jaan se ubharte the

    duaon se bhare

    sarsabz hathon ko yaqin tha

    jhilmilate KHwab

    KHushbu-KHeziyon mein fard honge

    aur taqarrub ke kisi

    betab se pal ko jagaenge

    to sarpaT bhagti

    ye umr ki hirni

    kisi zanjir-e-wada mein

    kahin ruk kar

    hamein chahat se dekhegi

    kahan hain hum

    kisi viran sahil par

    hamari aarzu ki kashtiyan

    aundhi paDi hain

    aur jaise nind ke

    be-tab halkore ki zad mein hain

    agar suraj unhen us nind se

    aazad karne ke liye

    kirnon ko koi izn deta hai

    to wo aankhon pe

    apne hath rakh leti hain

    gahri na-gawari se

    aur ab to

    wasl ki mishal bhi KHwabida hai

    sulgan se tahi hai

    aur us ke dasht mein

    har su barabar reshmi KHwabon ki

    nili rakh uDti hai
