ye sahrā merā hai jhelam chanāb us kī taraf
turāb merī taraf aur aab us kī taraf

na jaane kis ne banā.ī hai doġhlī tasvīr
haiñ ḳhaar merī taraf aur gulāb us kī taraf

zabān merī hai alfāz haiñ mire lekin
hai bāt-chīt kā lab-o-labāb us kī taraf

mirī ġhazal ke muqaddar meñ pyaas aa.ī hai
kashīd kī huī umda sharāb us kī taraf

koī muamma kabhī is tarah bhī ho maulā
savāl merī taraf huuñ javāb us kī taraf

yuuñ apnā nāma-e-a.amāl kar liyā taqsīm
gunāh merī taraf haiñ savāb us kī taraf

zarūr puchhuñgā taqsīm karne vaale se
rakhā hai kis liye saarā shabāb us kī taraf

kisī ne naam se mere uchhālā jab patthar
ubharne lag gayā ik inqalāb us kī taraf

jo ḳhud se pūchhā ki 'fānī' maiñ jā.ūñ kis raste
ishārā karne lagī hai rikāb us kī taraf

ye sahra mera hai jhelam chanab us ki taraf
turab meri taraf aur aab us ki taraf

na jaane kis ne banai hai doghli taswir
hain KHar meri taraf aur gulab us ki taraf

zaban meri hai alfaz hain mere lekin
hai baat-chit ka lab-o-labab us ki taraf

meri ghazal ke muqaddar mein pyas aai hai
kashid ki hui umda sharab us ki taraf

koi muamma kabhi is tarah bhi ho maula
sawal meri taraf hun jawab us ki taraf

yun apna nama-e-amal kar liya taqsim
gunah meri taraf hain sawab us ki taraf

zarur puchhunga taqsim karne wale se
rakha hai kis liye sara shabab us ki taraf

kisi ne nam se mere uchhaala jab patthar
ubharne lag gaya ek inqalab us ki taraf

jo KHud se puchha ki 'fani' main jaun kis raste
ishaara karne lagi hai rikab us ki taraf
