zamīn itnī nahīñ hai ki paañv rakh paa.eñ

dil-e-ḳharāb kī zid hai ki ghar banāyā jaa.e

zamin itni nahin hai ki panw rakh paen

dil-e-KHarab ki zid hai ki ghar banaya jae

ajiib dard kā rishta thā sab ke sab ro.e

shajar girā to parinde tamām shab ro.e

ajib dard ka rishta tha sab ke sab roe

shajar gira to parinde tamam shab roe

ab āsmān bhī kam paḌ rahe haiñ us ke liye

qadam zamīn par rakkhā thā jis ne Darte hue

ab aasman bhi kam paD rahe hain us ke liye

qadam zamin par rakkha tha jis ne Darte hue

abhī phir rahā huuñ maiñ āp-apnī talāsh meñ

abhī mujh se merā mizāj hī nahīñ mil rahā

abhi phir raha hun main aap-apni talash mein

abhi mujh se mera mizaj hi nahin mil raha

ye ḳhayāl thā kabhī ḳhvāb meñ tujhe dekhte

kabhī zindagī kī kitāb meñ tujhe dekhte

ye KHayal tha kabhi KHwab mein tujhe dekhte

kabhi zindagi ki kitab mein tujhe dekhte
