maiñ ek pal kī thā ḳhushbū kidhar nikal aayā
chalā maiñ mujh ko havā kā safar nikal aayā
na khīñchnī thī tumheñ sat.h-e-āb kī chādar
kabhī kā ghaat meñ baiThā bhañvar nikal aayā
barahnagī ko tamāshā bhī dardnāk milā
badan ke rañg jab utre khañDar nikal aayā
vo ek abr to bijlī se raat bhar laḌtā
havā ke miyān se ḳhanjar magar nikal aayā
sukūt-e-āb se Dar kar jo maarī chīḳh us ne
to ik kaTā huā dariyā se sar nikal aayā
shikast o reḳht ke hāthoñ ne kuchh diyā to sahī
girā makān to guḌiyā kā ghar nikal aayā
