qazā jo de to ilāhī zarā badal ke mujhe
mile ye jaam inhī añkhḌiyoñ meñ Dhal ke mujhe

maiñ apne dil ke samundar se tishna-kām aayā
pukārtī rahīñ maujeñ uchhal uchhal ke mujhe

nigāh jis ke liye be-qarār rahtī thī
sazā milī hai usī raushnī se jal ke mujhe

maiñ rahzanoñ ko kahīñ aur dekhtā hī rahā
kisī ne luuT liyā paas se nikal ke mujhe

kahāñ nujūm kahāñ rāste kī gard-e-haqīr
ajiib vahm huā tere saath chal ke mujhe

ab ek sāya-e-be-ḳhānumāñ bhī saath meñ hai
ye kyā milā hai tire shahr se nikal ke mujhe

vahī haqīqat-e-umr-e-darāz ban ke rahe
kisī ne ḳhvāb diye the jo chand pal ke mujhe

koī bhī jab hadaf-e-ḳhanjar-e-adā na milā
vo dasht-e-ġham se uThā le ga.e machal ke mujhe

qaza jo de to ilahi zara badal ke mujhe
mile ye jam inhi ankhDiyon mein Dhal ke mujhe

main apne dil ke samundar se tishna-kaam aaya
pukarti rahin maujen uchhal uchhal ke mujhe

nigah jis ke liye be-qarar rahti thi
saza mili hai usi raushni se jal ke mujhe

main rahzanon ko kahin aur dekhta hi raha
kisi ne luT liya pas se nikal ke mujhe

kahan nujum kahan raste ki gard-e-haqir
ajib wahm hua tere sath chal ke mujhe

ab ek saya-e-be-KHanuman bhi sath mein hai
ye kya mila hai tere shahr se nikal ke mujhe

wahi haqiqat-e-umr-e-daraaz ban ke rahe
kisi ne KHwab diye the jo chand pal ke mujhe

koi bhi jab hadaf-e-KHanjar-e-ada na mila
wo dasht-e-gham se uTha le gae machal ke mujhe
