sharīk-e-ġham mirā saaya nahīñ thā
vagarna dastaras meñ kyā nahīñ thā
sar-e-sahrā-e-ġham tishna-labī thī
lab-e-dariyā koī pyāsā nahīñ thā
ujāle duur tak phaile hue the
pas-e-parda koī chehra nahīñ thā
vo chehre hī tamāzat kho chuke the
ġhubār-ālūda ā.īna nahīñ thā
mire ḳhvāboñ meñ kaise Dhal gayā hai
jise maiñ ne kabhī sochā nahīñ thā
mujhe bhī bad-gumānī ho ga.ī thī
tirā lahja bhī shā.ista nahīñ thā
añdhere meñ nishāñ gum ho ga.e the
musāfir rāsta bhūlā nahīñ thā
sharik-e-gham mera saya nahin tha
wagarna dastaras mein kya nahin tha
sar-e-sahra-e-gham tishna-labi thi
lab-e-dariya koi pyasa nahin tha
ujale dur tak phaile hue the
pas-e-parda koi chehra nahin tha
wo chehre hi tamazat kho chuke the
ghubar-aluda aaina nahin tha
mere KHwabon mein kaise Dhal gaya hai
jise main ne kabhi socha nahin tha
mujhe bhi bad-gumani ho gai thi
tera lahja bhi shaista nahin tha
andhere mein nishan gum ho gae the
musafir rasta bhula nahin tha
