muhtaj ham-safar ki masafat na thi meri


muhtāj ham-safar kī masāfat na thī mirī
sab saath the kisī se rifāqat na thī mirī

haq kis se māñgtā ki makīnoñ ke saath saath
dīvār-o-bām-o-dar ko zarūrat na thī mirī

sach bol ke bhī dekh liyā un ke sāmne
lekin unheñ pasand sadāqat na thī mirī

maiñ jin pe mar miTā thā vo kāġhaz ke phuul the
rasmī mukālme the mohabbat na thī mirī

jo dūsroñ ke dukh the vahī mere dukh bhī the
kuchh aisī muḳhtalif bhī hikāyat na thī mirī

bas kuchh usuul the jo ba-har-hāl the aziiz
jānam kisī se varna adāvat na thī mirī

muhtaj ham-safar ki masafat na thi meri
sab sath the kisi se rifaqat na thi meri

haq kis se mangta ki makinon ke sath sath
diwar-o-baam-o-dar ko zarurat na thi meri

sach bol ke bhi dekh liya un ke samne
lekin unhen pasand sadaqat na thi meri

main jin pe mar miTa tha wo kaghaz ke phul the
rasmi mukalme the mohabbat na thi meri

jo dusron ke dukh the wahi mere dukh bhi the
kuchh aisi muKHtalif bhi hikayat na thi meri

bas kuchh usul the jo ba-har-haal the aziz
jaanam kisi se warna adawat na thi meri
