hue haiñ gum jis kī justujū meñ usī kī ham justujū kareñge
rakkhā hai mahrūm jis ne ham ko usī kī ham aarzū kareñge

ga.e vo din jab ki is chaman meñ havā-e-nashv-o-numā thī ham ko
ḳhizāñ ko dekhā nahīñ hai ham ne ki ḳhvāhish-e-rañg-o-bū kareñge

hikāyat-e-ārzū hai nāzuk zabān kyā ḳhaak kah sakegī
lab-e-ḳhamosh-o-nigāh-e-hasrat se dil kī ham guftugū kareñge

jagah jo āñkhoñ meñ maiñ ne dī thī to un se thī chashm-e-rāz-dārī
ye kyā ḳhabar thī ki ashk mere mujhī ko be-ābrū kareñge

abhī to gum-karda-rāh ḳhud haiñ mai-e-mohabbat kī be-ḳhudī meñ
agar kabhī aap meñ ham aa.e to us kī bhī justujū kareñge

us anjuman meñ ki chashm-e-sāqī kafīl ho aish-e-zindagī kī
vo bāda-ḳhvārī meñ ḳhaam hoñge jo fikr-e-jām-o-subū kareñge

tahārat-e-zāhirī se hāsil na ho sakegī safā-e-bātin
bahā ke ham ḳhūn-e-tauba 'vahshat' usī se ik din vuzū kareñge

hue hain gum jis ki justuju mein usi ki hum justuju karenge
rakkha hai mahrum jis ne hum ko usi ki hum aarzu karenge

gae wo din jab ki is chaman mein hawa-e-nashw-o-numa thi hum ko
KHizan ko dekha nahin hai hum ne ki KHwahish-e-rang-o-bu karenge

hikayat-e-arzu hai nazuk zaban kya KHak kah sakegi
lab-e-KHamosh-o-nigah-e-hasrat se dil ki hum guftugu karenge

jagah jo aankhon mein main ne di thi to un se thi chashm-e-raaz-dari
ye kya KHabar thi ki ashk mere mujhi ko be-abru karenge

abhi to gum-karda-rah KHud hain mai-e-mohabbat ki be-KHudi mein
agar kabhi aap mein hum aae to us ki bhi justuju karenge

us anjuman mein ki chashm-e-saqi kafil ho aish-e-zindagi ki
wo baada-KHwari mein KHam honge jo fikr-e-jam-o-subu karenge

tahaarat-e-zahiri se hasil na ho sakegi safa-e-baatin
baha ke hum KHun-e-tauba 'wahshat' usi se ek din wuzu karenge
