azal kya ibtida husn-o-mohabbat ke tarane ki
azal kyā ibtidā husn-o-mohabbat ke tarāne kī
abad kyā sirf ik badlī huī surḳhī fasāne kī
taḌaptī bijliyāñ phir ḳhāna-barbādī ke darpai haiñ
qafas kī ḳhair yārab ho chukī ḳhair āshiyāne kī
hamārī zindagī bhī ek fursat thī magar kitnī
faqat rang-e-tamannā ke chaḌhāne yā uḌāne kī
qafas ik taar hai tan ek miTTī kā gharauñdā hai
haqīqat qaid kī ye hai ye hastī qaid-ḳhāne kī
vo āñkheñ dekh kar maiñ kyā zamāna kahne lagtā hai
ki un meñ hai jise kahte haiñ sab gardish zamāne kī
hamārī zindagī bad-mastiyoñ kā daur thī 'beḳhud'
idhar ho kar nahīñ niklī tamanna hosh aane kī
azal kya ibtida husn-o-mohabbat ke tarane ki
abad kya sirf ek badli hui surKHi fasane ki
taDapti bijliyan phir KHana-barbaadi ke darpai hain
qafas ki KHair yarab ho chuki KHair aashiyane ki
hamari zindagi bhi ek fursat thi magar kitni
faqat rang-e-tamanna ke chaDhane ya uDane ki
qafas ek tar hai tan ek miTTi ka gharaunda hai
haqiqat qaid ki ye hai ye hasti qaid-KHane ki
wo aankhen dekh kar main kya zamana kahne lagta hai
ki un mein hai jise kahte hain sab gardish zamane ki
hamari zindagi bad-mastiyon ka daur thi 'beKHud'
idhar ho kar nahin nikli tamanna hosh aane ki
