teri yaad meri bhul
tere ḳhvāboñ ke darīchoñ se haTā kar parde
kyuuñ jagā.ūñ tirī ḳhvābīda tamannāoñ ko?
mere armān sisakte raheñ mere dil meñ
aur ḳhabar tak na mile shahr kī salmāoñ ko
haa.e vo mere ḳhayāloñ kī daraḳhshāñ vaadī
jaane kyuuñ chāñd sitāroñ kī tamannā kī thī
uTh ga.ī hogī yūñhī aañkh mirī terī taraf
log kahte haiñ sahāroñ kī tamannā kī thī
is se pahle na ḳhabar thī mujhe merī mahbūb!
zulf ke ḳham meñ siyah maar chhupe hote haiñ
jin ko sab kahte haiñ gulshan kī mahaktī kaliyāñ
un ke dāman meñ bhī kuchh ḳhaar chhupe hote haiñ
kuchh nahīñ is ke sivā aur tamannā merī!
vaqt ke saath har ik zaḳhm ko bhar jaane de
phir maiñ samjhūñgā mirī haar mirī haar nahīñ
chand lamhoñ kī hai ye ziist guzar jaane de
tere ḳhvāboñ ke darīchoñ se haTā kar parde
kyuuñ jagā.ūñ tirī ḳhvābīda tamannāoñ ko
tere KHwabon ke darichon se haTa kar parde
kyun jagaun teri KHwabida tamannaon ko?
mere arman sisakte rahen mere dil mein
aur KHabar tak na mile shahr ki salmaon ko
hae wo mere KHayalon ki daraKHshan wadi
jaane kyun chand sitaron ki tamanna ki thi
uTh gai hogi yunhi aankh meri teri taraf
log kahte hain sahaaron ki tamanna ki thi
is se pahle na KHabar thi mujhe meri mahbub!
zulf ke KHam mein siyah mar chhupe hote hain
jin ko sab kahte hain gulshan ki mahakti kaliyan
un ke daman mein bhi kuchh KHar chhupe hote hain
kuchh nahin is ke siwa aur tamanna meri!
waqt ke sath har ek zaKHm ko bhar jaane de
phir main samjhunga meri haar meri haar nahin
chand lamhon ki hai ye zist guzar jaane de
tere KHwabon ke darichon se haTa kar parde
kyun jagaun teri KHwabida tamannaon ko
