    vaqt kātib hai to mistar chehre

    jab se tahrīr-shanāsī mirī taqdīr huī

    vo ma.ānī pas-e-alfāz nazar aate haiñ

    jin ko pahchān ke dil Dartā hai

    aur har chehre se

    ek chehra ubhar aatā hai

    jo mirā chehra hai

    aur imroz ā.īna ye kahtā hai ki dekh

    ādmī-zāde tirī umar shaam aa pahuñchī

    sar pe ab raakh utar aa.ī hai

    barf kanpaTiyoñ par

    sāl-hā-sāl ke ālām se chehra jaise

    varaq-e-ḳhasta pe pechīda lakīroñ hujūm

    harf-e-ummīd-o-rajā

    dāġh-e-girya girah meñ gum hai

    naqsh umañgoñ ke tamannāoñ ke

    dukh ke dhabboñ ne dabā rakkhe haiñ

    aaj ik umr ke ādarsh tasvīr jo dhundlā.ī hai

    us tohmat

    merī kam-koshī ke sar aa.ī hai

    merī ḳhāmoshī ke sar aa.ī hai

    lafz zanjīr huā

    ḳhauf-e-darbāñ hai tazabzub zindāñ

    zindagī jabr-e-musalsal ke sabab

    sar-nigūñ sāyoñ sahrā-e-sukūt

    ab ḳharābāt meñ ḳhākistar-e-ḳhvāb

    DhūñDhtī phirtī hai hone subūt

    vo bhī the jo inhīñ dushvār guzargāhoñ se

    mish.al-e-harf liye parcham-e-himmat thāme

    apne ḳhvāboñ ke ta.āqub meñ ravāñ

    be-ḳhatar jaañ se guzar jaate the

    maiñ yahāñ sard salāḳhoñ se lagā taktā huuñ

    is bayābāñ meñ bhī kuchh ḳhvāboñ ke rasiyā chehre

    parcham-e-harf liye nikle haiñ

    Dar rahā huuñ ki agar jaañ se na guzre

    to tazabzub ke siyah zindāñ meñ

    vo mirī tarah pashīmāñ hoñge

    waqt katib hai to mistar chehre

    jab se tahrir-shanasi meri taqdir hui

    wo maani pas-e-alfaz nazar aate hain

    jin ko pahchan ke dil Darta hai

    aur har chehre se

    ek hi chehra ubhar aata hai

    jo mera chehra hai

    aur imroz ka aaina ye kahta hai ki dekh

    aadmi-zade teri umar ki sham aa pahunchi

    sar pe ab rakh utar aai hai

    barf kanpaTiyon par

    sal-ha-sal ke aalam se chehra jaise

    waraq-e-KHasta pe pechida lakiron ka hujum

    harf-e-ummid-o-raja

    dagh-e-girya ki girah mein gum hai

    naqsh umangon ke tamannaon ke

    dukh ke dhabbon ne daba rakkhe hain

    aaj ek umr ke aadarsh ki taswir jo dhundlai hai

    us ki tohmat

    meri kam-koshi ke sar aai hai

    meri KHamoshi ke sar aai hai

    lafz zanjir hua

    KHauf-e-darban hai tazabzub zindan

    zindagi jabr-e-musalsal ke sabab

    sar-nigun sayon ka sahra-e-sukut

    ab KHarabaat mein KHakistar-e-KHwab

    DhunDhti phirti hai hone ka subut

    wo bhi the jo inhin dushwar guzargahon se

    mishal-e-harf liye parcham-e-himmat thame

    apne KHwabon ke taaqub mein rawan

    be-KHatar jaan se guzar jate the

    main yahan sard salaKHon se laga takta hun

    is bayaban mein bhi kuchh KHwabon ke rasiya chehre

    parcham-e-harf liye nikle hain

    Dar raha hun ki agar jaan se na guzre

    to tazabzub ke siyah zindan mein

    wo meri tarah pashiman honge
