azaab ye bhī kisī aur par nahīñ aayā
ki ek umr chale aur ghar nahīñ aayā

us ek ḳhvāb kī hasrat meñ jal bujhīñ āñkheñ
vo ek ḳhvāb ki ab tak nazar nahīñ aayā

kareñ to kis se kareñ nā-rasā.iyoñ kā gila
safar tamām huā ham-safar nahīñ aayā

diloñ kī baat badan kī zabāñ se kah dete
ye chāhte the magar dil idhar nahīñ aayā

ajiib hī thā mire daur-e-gumrahī kā rafīq
bichhaḌ gayā to kabhī lauT kar nahīñ aayā

harīm-e-lafz-o-ma.ānī se nisbateñ bhī rahīñ
magar salīqa-e-arz-e-hunar nahīñ aayā

azab ye bhi kisi aur par nahin aaya
ki ek umr chale aur ghar nahin aaya

us ek KHwab ki hasrat mein jal bujhin aankhen
wo ek KHwab ki ab tak nazar nahin aaya

karen to kis se karen na-rasaiyon ka gila
safar tamam hua ham-safar nahin aaya

dilon ki baat badan ki zaban se kah dete
ye chahte the magar dil idhar nahin aaya

ajib hi tha mere daur-e-gumrahi ka rafiq
bichhaD gaya to kabhi lauT kar nahin aaya

harim-e-lafz-o-maani se nisbaten bhi rahin
magar saliqa-e-arz-e-hunar nahin aaya
