irada tha ki ab ke rang-e-duniya dekhna hai

irāda thā ki ab ke rañg-e-duniyā dekhnā hai

ḳhabar kyā thī ki apnā hī tamāshā dekhnā hai

Dasegā bebasī kā naag jaane aur kab tak

na jaane aur kitne din ye naqsha dekhnā hai

duā kā shāmiyāna bhī nahīñ hai ab to sar par

so ḳhud ko hiddat-e-ġham meñ jhulastā dekhnā hai

nahīñ ab sochnā kyā ho chukā kyā hogā aage

bas ab to haath kī rekhā kā likkhā dekhnā hai

bahut dekhā hai ḳhud ko rañj par taqsīm hote

aur ab taqsīm-dar-taqsīm hotā dekhnā hai

maiñ phir ik ḳhat tire āñgan girānā chāhtā huuñ

mujhe phir se tirā rañg-e-burīda dekhnā hai

tū sar-tā-pā zabānī yaad ho jā.egī mujh ko

ki ab maiñ ne tujhe itnā ziyāda dekhnā hai

'hasan' maiñ ek lambī saañs lenā chāhtā huuñ

maiñ jaisā thā kisī din ḳhud ko vaisā dekhnā hai

irada tha ki ab ke rang-e-duniya dekhna hai

KHabar kya thi ki apna hi tamasha dekhna hai

Dasega bebasi ka nag jaane aur kab tak

na jaane aur kitne din ye naqsha dekhna hai

dua ka shamiyana bhi nahin hai ab to sar par

so KHud ko hiddat-e-gham mein jhulasta dekhna hai

nahin ab sochna kya ho chuka kya hoga aage

bas ab to hath ki rekha ka likkha dekhna hai

bahut dekha hai KHud ko ranj par taqsim hote

aur ab taqsim-dar-taqsim hota dekhna hai

main phir ek KHat tere aangan girana chahta hun

mujhe phir se tera rang-e-burida dekhna hai

tu sar-ta-pa zabani yaad ho jaegi mujh ko

ki ab main ne tujhe itna ziyaada dekhna hai

'hasan' main ek lambi sans lena chahta hun

main jaisa tha kisi din KHud ko waisa dekhna hai
