gham-e-dil hita-e-tahrir mein aata hi nahin
ġham-e-dil hīta-e-tahrīr meñ aatā hī nahīñ
jo kināroñ meñ simaT jaa.e vo dariyā hī nahīñ
os kī būñdoñ meñ bikhrā huā manzar jaise
sab kā is daur meñ ye haal hai merā hī nahīñ
barq kyuuñ un ko jalāne pe kamar-basta hai
maiñ to chhāñv meñ kisī peḌ kī baiThā hī nahīñ
ik kiran thaam ke maiñ dhūp-nagar tak pahuñchā
kaun sā arsh hai jis kā koī ziina hī nahīñ
koī bhūlā huā chehra nazar aa.e shāyad
aa.ina ġhaur se tū ne kabhī dekhā hī nahīñ
bojh lamhoñ kā har ik sar pe uThā.e guzrā
koī is shahr meñ sustāne ko Thahrā hī nahīñ
saaya kyuuñ jal ke huā ḳhaak tujhe kyā mā'lūm
tū kabhī aag ke dariyāoñ meñ utrā hī nahīñ
motī kyā kyā na pare haiñ tah-e-dariyā lekin
barf lahroñ kī koī toḌne vaalā hī nahīñ
is ke pardoñ pe munaqqash tirī āvāz bhī hai
ḳhāna-e-dil meñ faqat terā sarāpā hī nahīñ
hā.il-e-rāh the kitne hī havā ke parbat
to vo bādal ki mire shahr se guzrā hī nahīñ
yaad ke dā.ere kyuuñ phailte jaate haiñ 'shakeb'
us ne tālāb meñ kankar abhī pheñkā hī nahīñ
gham-e-dil hita-e-tahrir mein aata hi nahin
jo kinaron mein simaT jae wo dariya hi nahin
os ki bundon mein bikhra hua manzar jaise
sab ka is daur mein ye haal hai mera hi nahin
barq kyun un ko jalane pe kamar-basta hai
main to chhanw mein kisi peD ki baiTha hi nahin
ek kiran tham ke main dhup-nagar tak pahuncha
kaun sa arsh hai jis ka koi zina hi nahin
koi bhula hua chehra nazar aae shayad
aaina ghaur se tu ne kabhi dekha hi nahin
bojh lamhon ka har ek sar pe uThae guzra
koi is shahr mein sustane ko Thahra hi nahin
saya kyun jal ke hua KHak tujhe kya ma'lum
tu kabhi aag ke dariyaon mein utra hi nahin
moti kya kya na pare hain tah-e-dariya lekin
barf lahron ki koi toDne wala hi nahin
is ke pardon pe munaqqash teri aawaz bhi hai
KHana-e-dil mein faqat tera sarapa hi nahin
hail-e-rah the kitne hi hawa ke parbat
to wo baadal ki mere shahr se guzra hi nahin
yaad ke daere kyun phailte jate hain 'shakeb'
us ne talab mein kankar abhi phenka hi nahin
