sab gham kahen jise ki tamanna kahen jise
sab ġham kaheñ jise ki tamannā kaheñ jise
vo iztirāb-e-shauq hai ham kyā kaheñ jise
hai johd-e-munfarid sabab-e-kārobār-e-dahr
ik iztirāb-e-qatra hai dariyā kaheñ jise
ne.amat kā e'tibār hai husn-e-qubūl se
ishrat bhī ek ġham hai gavārā kaheñ jise
miltā nahīñ hai ahl-e-junūñ kā koī surāġh
bas ek naqsh-e-pā hai ki sahrā kaheñ jise
pahle hayāt-e-shauq thī allāh-re inqalāb
ab e'tibār-e-ġham hai tamannā kaheñ jise
hai mere kā.enāt-e-tasavvur kā ik fareb
vo jalva-e-ḳhayāl ki duniyā kaheñ jise
kuchh kam-nigāhiyāñ haiñ tajallī kī aaḌ se
aisī bhī ik nigāh-e-tamāshā kaheñ jise
tanhā.ī-e-ḳhayāl se 'tābish' ye haal hai
aisā koī nahīñ ki ham apnā kaheñ jise
sab gham kahen jise ki tamanna kahen jise
wo iztirab-e-shauq hai hum kya kahen jise
hai johd-e-munfarid sabab-e-karobar-e-dahr
ek iztirab-e-qatra hai dariya kahen jise
neamat ka e'tibar hai husn-e-qubul se
ishrat bhi ek gham hai gawara kahen jise
milta nahin hai ahl-e-junun ka koi suragh
bas ek naqsh-e-pa hai ki sahra kahen jise
pahle hayat-e-shauq thi allah-re inqalab
ab e'tibar-e-gham hai tamanna kahen jise
hai mere kaenat-e-tasawwur ka ek fareb
wo jalwa-e-KHayal ki duniya kahen jise
kuchh kam-nigahiyan hain tajalli ki aaD se
aisi bhi ek nigah-e-tamasha kahen jise
tanhai-e-KHayal se 'tabish' ye haal hai
aisa koi nahin ki hum apna kahen jise
