ye dasht-e-farāmoshī Thaharne nahīñ detā
lekin dar-e-ḳhvāhish ko bhī khulne nahīñ detā
ye rasm hai dīvār-o-dar-e-girya kī lekin
daryūza-gar-e-ḳhvāb to rone nahīñ detā
āshob hai aisā ki sarāsīma hai vahshat
ye ijz-e-bayāñ zaḳhm bhī dhone nahīñ detā
haañ manzil-e-ummīd bhī nazdīk thī lekin
ġham-ḳhāna-e-jānānāñ bahalne nahīñ detā
āñkhoñ meñ vahī ranj-e-asīrī hai musallat
jo hashr bapā honā thā hone nahīñ detā
be-nām rahī ḳhvāhish-e-dīdār hamesha
shabnam kī tarah vo mujhe hañsne nahīñ detā
āñgan meñ lahū dekh ke rotī nahīñ āñkheñ
ye dil to sulagtā hai pa jalne nahīñ detā
