    zamīñ pe baiTh kar koī

    agar kahe

    ki chāñd ek abrū-e-ḳhamīda misāl hai

    to kahegā

    dūri-e-nigāh meñ to ik savāl hai

    ba-īñ dalīl

    tujh se kah rahā thā maiñ

    ki charḳh-e-nīl se

    nigāh ko haTā zarā

    simaTtī phailtī fazā-e-nīlgūñ ke dā.ere meñ

    chand roz ke liye phisalnā chhoḌ kar

    mire qarīb

    is qadar qarīb aa

    ki tere mere darmiyāñ

    har ek fāsla miTe

    to phir kahīñ tujhe patā chalegā ye

    ki merī aañkh meñ

    chamaktā qatra bhī nahīñ

    chamaktī jhiil bhī nahīñ

    ye bahr hai

    ye bahr jis har machaltī lahr is sukūn payām hai

    magar maiñ bhī Dartā huuñ

    maiñ jāntā huuñ bahr-e-be-kanār meñ

    ka.ī jagah bhañvar bhī haiñ

    har ek lahr

    ghūmte bhañvar ko dekhne ke vāste

    uchhal uchhal ke mauj tund-o-tez bantī jā.egī

    har ek mauj

    ghūmte bhañvar ko bas meñ laane ke liye

    baḌhegī

    miTtī jā.egī

    bhañvar ke dā.ere ko aur bhī baḌhā.egī

    bhañvar jo aaj ghūmtā hai sail-e-rang-e-āb par

    magar abhī sukūn hai

    magar maiñ phir bhī Dartā huuñ

    ki ye sukūñ talātum-e-nahufta dalīl hai

    talātum-e-nahufta ke ḳhayāl se

    farār chāhtā huuñ maiñ

    lo aaj maiñ ne ek Dhang soch liyā

    magar ye kaisī andhī soch hai

    maiñ apnā haath aañkh par rakhe hue sitāda huuñ

    har ek samt

    soch hadoñ se duur

    tīrgī meñ gahrā ik suhānā raaz hai

    har ek ang

    mast mast narm narm rāgnī saaz hai

    magar maiñ phir bhī Dartā huuñ

    ki ye sukūn sā.at-e-fatīla-e-hayāt hai

    hayāt maiñ ġhalat samajh rahā thā itnī der se

    hayāt is jagah kahāñ hayāt to

    ufuq surḳhiyoñ se duur

    ajnabī dayār meñ

    vufūr-e-shauq ke tufail

    farq-e-īñ-o-āñ ko chhoḌ kar

    ek rang labāda oḌh kar

    khaḌī hai mere intizār meñ

    to kyoñ na maiñ vahāñ chalūñ

    magar jab aage baḌhne

    rasta dekhne ke vāste

    maiñ apnā haath aañkh se haTātā huuñ

    to apne aage ek bahr-e-be-karāñ ko paatā huuñ

    magar ye kyā

    ki to ab bhī kah rahā hai

    terī aañkh meñ chamakte qatre misāl huuñ

    tujhe ḳhabar nahīñ

    ki ye sabhī ek dūri-e-nigāh savāl hai

    zarā mire qarīb aa ke dekh merī aañkh meñ

    chamaktā qatra bhī nahīñ

    chamaktī jhiil bhī nahīñ

    ye bahr hai

    zamin pe baiTh kar koi

    agar kahe

    ki chand ek abru-e-KHamida ki misal hai

    to tu kahega

    duri-e-nigah mein to ek sawal hai

    ba-in dalil

    tujh se kah raha tha main

    ki charKH-e-nil se

    nigah ko haTa zara

    simaTti phailti faza-e-nilgun ke daere mein

    chand roz ke liye phisalna chhoD kar

    mere qarib

    is qadar qarib aa

    ki tere mere darmiyan

    har ek fasla miTe

    to phir kahin tujhe pata chalega ye

    ki meri aankh mein

    chamakta qatra bhi nahin

    chamakti jhil bhi nahin

    ye bahr hai

    ye bahr jis ki har machalti lahr is sukun ka payam hai

    magar main bhi Darta hun

    main jaanta hun bahr-e-be-kanar mein

    kai jagah bhanwar bhi hain

    har ek lahr

    ghumte bhanwar ko dekhne ke waste

    uchhal uchhal ke mauj tund-o-tez banti jaegi

    har ek mauj

    ghumte bhanwar ko bas mein lane ke liye

    baDhegi

    miTti jaegi

    bhanwar ke daere ko aur bhi baDhaegi

    bhanwar jo aaj ghumta hai sail-e-rang-e-ab par

    magar abhi sukun hai

    magar main phir bhi Darta hun

    ki ye sukun talatum-e-nahufta ki dalil hai

    talatum-e-nahufta ke KHayal se

    farar chahta hun main

    lo aaj main ne ek Dhang soch hi liya

    magar ye kaisi andhi soch hai

    main apna hath aankh par rakhe hue sitada hun

    har ek samt

    soch ki hadon se dur

    tirgi mein gahra ek suhana raaz hai

    har ek ang

    mast mast narm narm ragni ka saz hai

    magar main phir bhi Darta hun

    ki ye sukun saat-e-fatila-e-hayat hai

    hayat main ghalat samajh raha tha itni der se

    hayat is jagah kahan hayat to

    ufuq ki surKHiyon se dur

    ajnabi dayar mein

    wufur-e-shauq ke tufail

    farq-e-in-o-an ko chhoD kar

    ek rang ka labaada oDh kar

    khaDi hai mere intizar mein

    to kyon na main wahan chalun

    magar jab aage baDhne

    rasta dekhne ke waste

    main apna hath aankh se haTata hun

    to apne aage ek bahr-e-be-karan ko pata hun

    magar ye kya

    ki tu to ab bhi kah raha hai

    teri aankh mein chamakte qatre ki misal hun

    tujhe KHabar nahin

    ki ye sabhi ek duri-e-nigah ka sawal hai

    zara mere qarib aa ke dekh meri aankh mein

    chamakta qatra bhi nahin

    chamakti jhil bhi nahin

    ye bahr hai
