avval vahī sairāb thā saanī bhī vahī thā
patthar se guzartā huā paanī bhī vahī thā
nau-ḳhez duāoñ kā shajar-kār bhī niklā
bosīda tamannāoñ kā baanī bhī vahī thā
āñkhoñ pe jo rakhtā rahā rūmāl-e-tasallī
nam-dīda-gar-e-naql-e-makānī bhī vahī thā
āyāt-e-irāda pe vahī nuur kī uñglī
aurāq-siyah-tar kā giyānī bhī vahī thā
kaukab sā damaktā thā dhueñ meñ gul-e-shīsha
arzañg bichhā.e hue maanī bhī vahī thā
'tafzīl' thā ik āmad-o-ilhām kā shā.ir
baaqī vahī urdu meñ hai faanī bhī vahī thā
awwal wahi sairab tha sani bhi wahi tha
patthar se guzarta hua pani bhi wahi tha
nau-KHez duaon ka shajar-kar bhi nikla
bosida tamannaon ka bani bhi wahi tha
aankhon pe jo rakhta raha rumal-e-tasalli
nam-dida-gar-e-naql-e-makani bhi wahi tha
aayat-e-irada pe wahi nur ki ungli
auraq-siyah-tar ka giyani bhi wahi tha
kaukab sa damakta tha dhuen mein gul-e-shisha
arzang bichhae hue mani bhi wahi tha
'tafzil' tha ek aamad-o-ilham ka shair
baqi wahi urdu mein hai fani bhi wahi tha
