zaman makan the mere samne bikharte hue

ai dost main KHamosh kisi Dar se nahin tha

jaane wo kaun tha aur kis ko sada deta tha

aaj ek lahr bhi pani mein na thi

din ko daftar mein akela shab bhare ghar mein akela

KHat koi pyar bhara likh dena

aaj to rone ko ji ho jaise

mujhe pata tha ki ye hadsa bhi hona tha

wo baat baat pe ji bhar ke bolne wala

main chup khaDa tha talluq mein iKHtisar jo tha

na manzilen thin na kuchh dil mein tha na sar mein tha

ajib tajraba tha bhiD se guzarne ka

paiham mauj-e-imkani mein

tamam rasta phulon bhara hai mere liye

dekhiye kya kya sitam mausam ki man-mani ke hain

ai bujhe rangon ki sham ab tak dhuan aisa na tha

chhupi hai tujh mein koi shai use na ghaarat kar

KHak o KHun ki wusaton se ba-KHabar karti hui

faza ki phir aasman bhar thi

libas us ka alamat ki tarah tha

idhar ki aaegi ek rau udhar ki aaegi

dekhta tha main palaT kar har aan

aasman ka sard sannaTa pighalta jaega

moD tha kaisa tujhe tha khone wala main

ali-bin-muttaqi roya

hamein lapakti hawa par sawar le aai

hari sunahri KHak uDane wala main

ye zara sa kuchh aur ek-dam be-hisab sa kuchh

aks koi kisi manzar mein na tha

qadam zamin pe na the rah hum badalte kya

ajib rona sisakna nawah-e-jaan mein hai

shoala idhar udhar kabhi saya yahin kahin

dilon mein KHak si uDti hai kya na jaane kya

silsila raushan tajassus ka udhar mera bhi hai

mere badan mein pighalta hua sa kuchh to hai

bajae ham-safri itna rabta hai bahut

sarsabz mausamon ka nasha bhi mere liye

damak raha tha bahut yun to pairahan us ka

main uski baat ki tardid karne wala tha

sair-e-shab-e-la-makan aur main

tujhe zara dukh aur sisakne wala main

mehrab na qindil na asrar na tamsil

bahut kuchh muntazir ek baat ka tha

dil mein KHushbu si utar jati hai sine mein nur sa Dhal jata hai

ghani-ghaneri raat mein Darne wala main

chand ki awwal kiran manzar-ba-manzar aaegi

kahan talash karun ab ufuq kahani ka

ghaeb har manzar mera

zara sa imkan kis qadar tha

sada-e-dil ibaadat ki tarah thi
