dil teri yaad mein har lamha taDapta bhi nahin


dil tirī yaad meñ har lamha taḌaptā bhī nahīñ
band ho jaa.e taḌapnā ye gavārā bhī nahīñ

vo nahīñ paas to ehsās-e-rifāqat hai sivā
ġham-e-tanhā.ī ke zindāñ meñ maiñ tanhā bhī nahīñ

dasht dīvānoñ se ābād hue jaate haiñ
ab to jāgīr kisī qais kī sahrā bhī nahīñ

sañg-e-dushnām baraste rahe har jānib se
saḳht-jāñ dil hī kuchh aisā thā ki TuuTā bhī nahīñ

kar to luuñ tark-e-tamannā kā irāda lekin
qahr ye hai vo fusūñ-gar sitam-ārā bhī nahīñ

rañg kyuuñ uḌ gayā gulshan ke havā-dāroñ kā
garm jhoñkā koī is raah se guzrā bhī nahīñ

sard hai marg-sifat misr-e-junūñ kā bāzār
ḳhvāb-e-yūsuf bhī nahīñ ḳhvāb-e-zuleḳhā bhī nahīñ

dil teri yaad mein har lamha taDapta bhi nahin
band ho jae taDapna ye gawara bhi nahin

wo nahin pas to ehsas-e-rifaqat hai siwa
gham-e-tanhai ke zindan mein main tanha bhi nahin

dasht diwanon se aabaad hue jate hain
ab to jagir kisi qais ki sahra bhi nahin

sang-e-dushnam baraste rahe har jaanib se
saKHt-jaan dil hi kuchh aisa tha ki TuTa bhi nahin

kar to lun tark-e-tamanna ka irada lekin
qahr ye hai wo fusun-gar sitam-ara bhi nahin

rang kyun uD gaya gulshan ke hawa-daron ka
garm jhonka koi is rah se guzra bhi nahin

sard hai marg-sifat misr-e-junun ka bazar
KHwab-e-yusuf bhi nahin KHwab-e-zuleKHa bhi nahin
