    tire dar se guzrā thā bārhā

    vo khulā nahīñ

    vahāñ dar pe pahra lagā thā gardish-e-hāl

    maiñ tire tilism meñ band thā

    mujhe thā kisī se na apne aap se vāsta

    faqat ek nauha be-amāñ thā sukūt meñ

    vo sukūt jis meñ bhañvar sadāoñ ke be-shumār

    vahī gūñjte the vajūd meñ

    koī chashm-e-shauq ko vāqiye

    sar-e-rāh ab bhī milā nahīñ

    to gila nahīñ

    ki maiñ apnī zaat anjuman meñ har ik se mahv-e-kalām huuñ

    mire haal na use ḳhabar na use ḳhabar

    ki ye log

    saada ġharīb muḳhlis-o-chāra-sāz

    yahī log hirs meñ mubtalā jo nikāleñ kaam fareb se

    na ho un koī zamāna-sāz

    kabhī un meñ zahr anā hai kabhī vahm kabhī jahl

    kabhī saañp andhī aqīdatoñ ke lipaT ga.e

    hama-vaqt rahtī hai sīm-o-zar talab unheñ

    ki ye ḳhvājgān-e-varam se rakhte haiñ sāz-bāz

    jinheñ bandagān-e-varam kaheñ to bajā kaheñ

    ki vo ḳhvāja kyā haiñ varam karte haiñ bandagī

    unheñ mujh se milne shauq kyā

    ye vo log haiñ jo na apne-āp se mil sake

    ye unhīñ ke baare meñ thā jo khulā sahīfa-e-hast-o-būd

    ye badalte chehroñ ke log

    jin na apnā chehra na ḳhāl-o-ḳhat

    usī kārvāñ meñ sharīk haiñ jo ummīd-e-vahm raah meñ

    ka.ī sad-hazār baras se hai

    ka.ī baar ubhre haiñ gard se

    ka.ī baar dhuāñ meñ aT ga.e

    vo jo ḳhvāb the

    ka.ī sad-hazār baras ke ḳhvāb

    jo yaqīñ na the jo gumāñ na the

    vo jo un ke apne nigāh-o-dil pe ayaañ na the

    ki ayaañ hue to bikhar ga.e

    magar un apnā vajūd the lahū ban ke un ragoñ meñ paiham ravāñ bhī the

    terā dar to ab bhī khulā nahīñ

    magar ik ummīd dar khulā

    ka.ī sad-hazār baras arsa-e-intizār guzar gayā

    vo jo ḳhvāb the vo jo ḳhvāb haiñ

    vahī ḳhvāb dil meñ utar paḌe

    nayā rañg hai shab-o-roz

    na.ī tābish-e-mah-o-sāl hai

    hote sab ke ḳhvāb jo mere ḳhvāb

    ajab us meñ lutf-e-visāl hai

    tere dar se guzra tha barha

    wo khula nahin

    wahan dar pe pahra laga tha gardish-e-haal ka

    main tere tilism mein band tha

    mujhe tha kisi se na apne aap se wasta

    faqat ek nauha be-aman tha sukut mein

    wo sukut jis mein bhanwar sadaon ke be-shumar

    wahi gunjte the wajud mein

    koi chashm-e-shauq ko waqiye

    sar-e-rah ab bhi mila nahin

    to gila nahin

    ki main apni zat ki anjuman mein har ek se mahw-e-kalam hun

    mere haal ki na use KHabar na use KHabar

    ki ye log

    sada gharib muKHlis-o-chaara-saz

    yahi log hirs mein mubtala jo nikalen kaam fareb se

    na ho un sa koi zamana-saz

    kabhi un mein zahr ana ka hai kabhi wahm ka kabhi jahl ka

    kabhi sanp andhi aqidaton ke lipaT gae

    hama-waqt rahti hai sim-o-zar ki talab unhen

    ki ye KHwajgan-e-waram se rakhte hain saz-baz

    jinhen bandagan-e-waram kahen to baja kahen

    ki wo KHwaja kya hain waram ki karte hain bandagi

    unhen mujh se milne ka shauq kya

    ye wo log hain jo na apne-ap se mil sake

    ye unhin ke bare mein tha jo khula sahifa-e-hast-o-bud

    ye badalte chehron ke log

    jin ka na apna chehra na KHal-o-KHat

    usi karwan mein sharik hain jo ummid-e-wahm ki rah mein

    kai sad-hazar baras se hai

    kai bar ubhre hain gard se

    kai bar dhuan mein aT gae

    wo jo KHwab the

    kai sad-hazar baras ke KHwab

    jo yaqin na the jo guman na the

    wo jo un ke apne nigah-o-dil pe ayan na the

    ki ayan hue to bikhar gae

    magar un ka apna wajud the lahu ban ke un ki ragon mein paiham rawan bhi the

    tera dar to ab bhi khula nahin

    magar ek ummid ka dar khula

    kai sad-hazar baras ka arsa-e-intizar guzar gaya

    wo jo KHwab the wo jo KHwab hain

    wahi KHwab dil mein utar paDe

    naya rang hai shab-o-roz ka

    nai tabish-e-mah-o-sal hai

    hote sab ke KHwab jo mere KHwab

    ajab us mein lutf-e-visal hai
