mujhe manzur kaghaz par nahin patthar pe likh dena

mujhe manzūr kāġhaz par nahīñ patthar pe likh denā

haTā kar mujh ko tum manzar se pas-manzar pe likh denā

ḳhabar mujh ko nahīñ maiñ jism huuñ yā koī saayā huuñ

zarā is kī vazāhat dhuup kī chādar pe likh denā

usī kī diid se mahrūm jis ko dekhnā chāhūñ

mirī āñkhoñ ko us ke ḳhvāb-gūñ paikar pe likh denā

isī miTTī kā ġhamza haiñ ma.ārif sab haqā.eq sab

jo tum chāho to is jumle ko lauh-e-zar pe likh denā

bahut nāzuk haiñ mere sarv qāmat teġhzan logo

hazīmat ḳhurdgī merī saf-e-lashkar pe likh denā

kabhī maiñ bhī uḌāneñ bharne vaalā thā bahut ūñchī

mirī pahchān isī TuuTe hue shahpar pe likh denā

sarāboñ ke safar se tū nahīñ lauTā 'fazā' ab tak

jo ḳhat likhnā to itnī baat us ke ghar pe likh denā

mujhe manzur kaghaz par nahin patthar pe likh dena

haTa kar mujh ko tum manzar se pas-manzar pe likh dena

KHabar mujh ko nahin main jism hun ya koi saya hun

zara is ki wazahat dhup ki chadar pe likh dena

usi ki did se mahrum jis ko dekhna chahun

meri aankhon ko us ke KHwab-gun paikar pe likh dena

isi miTTi ka ghamza hain maarif sab haqaeq sab

jo tum chaho to is jumle ko lauh-e-zar pe likh dena

bahut nazuk hain mere sarw qamat teghzan logo

hazimat KHurdgi meri saf-e-lashkar pe likh dena

kabhi main bhi uDanen bharne wala tha bahut unchi

meri pahchan isi TuTe hue shahpar pe likh dena

sarabon ke safar se tu nahin lauTa 'faza' ab tak

jo KHat likhna to itni baat us ke ghar pe likh dena
