gae dinon ka suragh le kar kidhar se aaya kidhar gaya wo
ga.e dinoñ kā surāġh le kar kidhar se aayā kidhar gayā vo
ajiib mānūs ajnabī thā mujhe to hairān kar gayā vo
bas ek motī sī chhab dikhā kar bas ek mīThī sī dhun sunā kar
sitāra-e-shām ban ke aayā ba-rañg-e-ḳhvāb-e-sahar gayā vo
ḳhushī kī rut ho ki ġham kā mausam nazar use DhūñDtī hai har dam
vo bū-e-gul thā ki naġhma-e-jāñ mire to dil meñ utar gayā vo
na ab vo yādoñ kā chaḌhtā dariyā na fursatoñ kī udaas barkhā
yūñhī zarā sī kasak hai dil meñ jo zaḳhm gahrā thā bhar gayā vo
kuchh ab sambhalne lagī hai jaañ bhī badal chalā daur-e-āsmāñ bhī
jo raat bhārī thī Tal ga.ī hai jo din kaḌā thā guzar gayā vo
bas ek manzil hai bul-havas kī hazār raste haiñ ahl-e-dil ke
yahī to hai farq mujh meñ us meñ guzar gayā maiñ Thahar gayā vo
shikasta-pā raah meñ khaḌā huuñ ga.e dinoñ ko bulā rahā huuñ
jo qāfila merā ham-safar thā misāl-e-gard-e-safar gayā vo
mirā tū ḳhuuñ ho gayā hai paanī sitamgaroñ kī palak na bhīgī
jo naala uTThā thā raat dil se na jaane kyuuñ be-asar gayā vo
vo mai-kade ko jagāne vaalā vo raat kī niiñd uḌāne vaalā
ye aaj kyā us ke jī meñ aa.ī ki shaam hote hī ghar gayā vo
vo hijr kī raat kā sitāra vo ham-nafas ham-suḳhan hamārā
sadā rahe us kā naam pyārā sunā hai kal raat mar gayā vo
vo jis ke shāne pe haath rakh kar safar kiyā tū ne manziloñ kā
tirī galī se na jaane kyuuñ aaj sar jhukā.e guzar gayā vo
vo raat kā be-navā musāfir vo terā shā.ir vo terā 'nāsir'
tirī galī tak to ham ne dekhā thā phir na jaane kidhar gayā vo
gae dinon ka suragh le kar kidhar se aaya kidhar gaya wo
ajib manus ajnabi tha mujhe to hairan kar gaya wo
bas ek moti si chhab dikha kar bas ek miThi si dhun suna kar
sitara-e-sham ban ke aaya ba-rang-e-KHwab-e-sahar gaya wo
KHushi ki rut ho ki gham ka mausam nazar use DhunDti hai har dam
wo bu-e-gul tha ki naghma-e-jaan mere to dil mein utar gaya wo
na ab wo yaadon ka chaDhta dariya na fursaton ki udas barkha
yunhi zara si kasak hai dil mein jo zaKHm gahra tha bhar gaya wo
kuchh ab sambhalne lagi hai jaan bhi badal chala daur-e-asman bhi
jo raat bhaari thi Tal gai hai jo din kaDa tha guzar gaya wo
bas ek manzil hai bul-hawas ki hazar raste hain ahl-e-dil ke
yahi to hai farq mujh mein us mein guzar gaya main Thahar gaya wo
shikasta-pa rah mein khaDa hun gae dinon ko bula raha hun
jo qafila mera ham-safar tha misal-e-gard-e-safar gaya wo
mera tu KHun ho gaya hai pani sitamgaron ki palak na bhigi
jo nala uTTha tha raat dil se na jaane kyun be-asar gaya wo
wo mai-kade ko jagane wala wo raat ki nind uDane wala
ye aaj kya us ke ji mein aai ki sham hote hi ghar gaya wo
wo hijr ki raat ka sitara wo ham-nafas ham-suKHan hamara
sada rahe us ka nam pyara suna hai kal raat mar gaya wo
wo jis ke shane pe hath rakh kar safar kiya tu ne manzilon ka
teri gali se na jaane kyun aaj sar jhukae guzar gaya wo
wo raat ka be-nawa musafir wo tera shair wo tera 'nasir'
teri gali tak to hum ne dekha tha phir na jaane kidhar gaya wo
