mumkin hi na thi KHud se shanasai yahan tak
mumkin hī na thī ḳhud se shanāsā.ī yahāñ tak
le aayā mujhe merā tamāshā.ī yahāñ tak
rasta ho agar yaad to ghar lauT bhī jā.ūñ
laa.ī thī kisī aur kī bīnā.ī yahāñ tak
shāyad tah-e-dariyā meñ chhupā thā kahīñ sahrā
merī hī nazar dekh nahīñ paa.ī yahāñ tak
mahfil meñ bhī tanhā.ī ne pīchhā nahīñ chhoḌā
ghar meñ na milā maiñ to chalī aa.ī yahāñ tak
sahrā hai to sahrā kī tarah pesh bhī aa.e
aayā hai isī shauq meñ saudā.ī yahāñ tak
ik khel thā aur khel meñ sochā bhī nahīñ thā
juḌ jā.egā mujh se vo tamāshā.ī yahāñ tak
ye umr hai jo us kī ḳhatā-vār hai 'shāriq'
rahtī hī nahīñ bātoñ meñ sachchā.ī yahāñ tak
mumkin hi na thi KHud se shanasai yahan tak
le aaya mujhe mera tamashai yahan tak
rasta ho agar yaad to ghar lauT bhi jaun
lai thi kisi aur ki binai yahan tak
shayad tah-e-dariya mein chhupa tha kahin sahra
meri hi nazar dekh nahin pai yahan tak
mahfil mein bhi tanhai ne pichha nahin chhoDa
ghar mein na mila main to chali aai yahan tak
sahra hai to sahra ki tarah pesh bhi aae
aaya hai isi shauq mein saudai yahan tak
ek khel tha aur khel mein socha bhi nahin tha
juD jaega mujh se wo tamashai yahan tak
ye umr hai jo us ki KHata-war hai 'shaariq'
rahti hi nahin baaton mein sachchai yahan tak
