bikhar jae na meri dastan tahrir hone tak

bikhar jaa.e na merī dāstāñ tahrīr hone tak

ye āñkheñ bujh na jaa.e ḳhvāb kī ta.abīr hone tak

chalā.e jā abhī tesha qalam kā koh-e-zulmat par

siyāhī vaqt bhī letī hai jū-e-shīr hone tak

isī ḳhātir mire ash.ār ab tak Diary meñ haiñ

kisī aalam meñ jī leñge ye ālamgīr hone tak

tire āġhāz se pahle yahāñ jugnū chamakte the

ye bastī muflisoñ kī thī tirī jāgīr hone tak

mujhe tanz-o-malāmat kī baḌī darkār hai yuuñ bhī

anā ko shaan bhī to chāhiye shamshīr hone tak

mohabbat āḳhirash le aa.ī hai ik band kamre meñ

terī tasvīr ab dekhūñgā ḳhud tasvīr hone tak

bikhar jae na meri dastan tahrir hone tak

ye aankhen bujh na jae KHwab ki tabir hone tak

chalae ja abhi tesha qalam ka koh-e-zulmat par

siyahi waqt bhi leti hai ju-e-shir hone tak

isi KHatir mere ashaar ab tak Diary mein hain

kisi aalam mein ji lenge ye aalamgir hone tak

tere aaghaz se pahle yahan jugnu chamakte the

ye basti muflison ki thi teri jagir hone tak

mujhe tanz-o-malamat ki baDi darkar hai yun bhi

ana ko shan bhi to chahiye shamshir hone tak

mohabbat aaKHirash le aai hai ek band kamre mein

teri taswir ab dekhunga KHud taswir hone tak
