umr bhar shauq kā daftar likkhā
lafz ik bhī na muassar likkhā

ham ne ashraf ko bhī ahqar likkhā
aadmī thā jise bandar likkhā

umr vaise to safar meñ guzrī
likhne baiThe to ise ghar likkhā

mausam-e-gul kī bashārat ma.alūm
paḌh liyā māthe pe patthar likkhā

ḳhaak se ḳhaak huī hai paidā
laakh sahrā ko samundar likkhā

ham vo bīmār haiñ achchhe na hue
tum abas nusḳha mukarrar likkhā

dāstāñ phir bhī mukammal na huī
sab kā sab ham ne to azbar likkhā

umr bhar shauq ka daftar likkha
lafz ek bhi na muassar likkha

hum ne ashraf ko bhi ahqar likkha
aadmi tha jise bandar likkha

umr waise to safar mein guzri
likhne baiThe to ise ghar likkha

mausam-e-gul ki bashaarat malum
paDh liya mathe pe patthar likkha

KHak se KHak hui hai paida
lakh sahra ko samundar likkha

hum wo bimar hain achchhe na hue
tum abas nusKHa mukarrar likkha

dastan phir bhi mukammal na hui
sab ka sab hum ne to azbar likkha
