tamām-umr kī ġhaflat ke ba.ad ḳhvāb aayā
uThā jo parda-e-hastī mujhe hijāb aayā
ajal-nasīb thā shām-e-visāl ḳhvāb aayā
vo be-hijāb hue to mujhe hijāb aayā
balā hai ahd-e-javānī se ḳhush na ho ai dil
sambhal ki umr kī duniyā meñ inqalāb aayā
baḌhā.e hausle dariyā-dilī ne saaqī kī
zarā se jaam meñ sau baar āftāb aayā
koī sadā nahīñ aatī ki kaun hai kyā hai
kahāñ bhaTak ke dil-e-ḳhānumāñ-ḳharāb aayā
ummīd-o-bīm meñ rakkhā tamām raat mujhe
kabhī naqāb uThā.ī kabhī hijāb aayā
zamāne vāloñ ko pahchānñe diyā na kabhī
badal badal ke libās apne inqalāb aayā
sivā.e yaas na kuchh gumbad-e-falak se milā
sadā bhī dī to palaT kar vahī javāb aayā
uḌā ke hosh huā ho ga.ī tajallī-e-tūr
sabhoñ se aañkh churātā huā hijāb aayā
harīf-e-mai nahīñ samjhā to kyuuñ mirī jānib
lahū ke ghūñT piye sāġhar-e-sharāb aayā
haTe na apnī tabī.at se husn-o-ishq kabhī
hazār baar zamāne meñ inqalāb aayā
sunā.īñ kyā tumheñ nairañg-e-ishq kā qissa
tamām-umr na āñkheñ khulīñ na ḳhvāb aayā
khaTak vo dil meñ hī paidā jo aaj tak na huī
samajh rahā huuñ ki tiflī ga.ī shabāb aayā
kafan pinhā diyā 'sāqib' sanam-parastī ne
ḳhudā ke sāmne jaate hue hijāb aayā
tamam-umr ki ghaflat ke baad KHwab aaya
uTha jo parda-e-hasti mujhe hijab aaya
ajal-nasib tha sham-e-visal KHwab aaya
wo be-hijab hue to mujhe hijab aaya
bala hai ahd-e-jawani se KHush na ho ai dil
sambhal ki umr ki duniya mein inqalab aaya
baDhae hausle dariya-dili ne saqi ki
zara se jam mein sau bar aaftab aaya
koi sada nahin aati ki kaun hai kya hai
kahan bhaTak ke dil-e-KHanuman-KHarab aaya
ummid-o-bim mein rakkha tamam raat mujhe
kabhi naqab uThai kabhi hijab aaya
zamane walon ko pahchanne diya na kabhi
badal badal ke libas apne inqalab aaya
siwae yas na kuchh gumbad-e-falak se mila
sada bhi di to palaT kar wahi jawab aaya
uDa ke hosh hua ho gai tajalli-e-tur
sabhon se aankh churaata hua hijab aaya
harif-e-mai nahin samjha to kyun meri jaanib
lahu ke ghunT piye saghar-e-sharab aaya
haTe na apni tabiat se husn-o-ishq kabhi
hazar bar zamane mein inqalab aaya
sunain kya tumhein nairang-e-ishq ka qissa
tamam-umr na aankhen khulin na KHwab aaya
khaTak wo dil mein hi paida jo aaj tak na hui
samajh raha hun ki tifli gai shabab aaya
kafan pinha diya 'saqib' sanam-parasti ne
KHuda ke samne jate hue hijab aaya
