kohsar-e-taghaful ko sada kaT rahi hai

kohsār-e-taġhāful ko sadā kaaT rahī hai

hairāñ huuñ ki patthar ko havā kaaT rahī hai

peshāni-e-sāhil pe koī naam na ubhre

har mauj samundar kā likhā kaaT rahī hai

alfāz kī dhartī pe huuñ mafhūm-gazīda

ab jism pe kāġhaz kī qabā kaaT rahī hai

har ruuh pas-e-parda-e-tartīb-e-anāsir

nā-karda gunāhoñ kī sazā kaaT rahī hai

fankār kā ḳhuuñ dāman-e-taḳhlīq pe goyā

tasvīr musavvir kā galā kaaT rahī hai

mahjūb haiñ maġhrūr daraḳhtoñ kī qatāreñ

har shāḳh ko shamshīr-e-anā kaaT rahī hai

kohsar-e-taghaful ko sada kaT rahi hai

hairan hun ki patthar ko hawa kaT rahi hai

peshani-e-sahil pe koi nam na ubhre

har mauj samundar ka likha kaT rahi hai

alfaz ki dharti pe hun mafhum-gazida

ab jism pe kaghaz ki qaba kaT rahi hai

har ruh pas-e-parda-e-tartib-e-anasir

na-karda gunahon ki saza kaT rahi hai

fankar ka KHun daman-e-taKHliq pe goya

taswir musawwir ka gala kaT rahi hai

mahjub hain maghrur daraKHton ki qataren

har shaKH ko shamshir-e-ana kaT rahi hai
