silsila ḳhvāboñ kā sab yūñhī dharā rah jā.egā
ek din bistar pe koī jāgtā rah jā.egā
ek ḳhvāhish dil ko ġhair-ābād kartī jā.egī
ik parinda duur tak uḌtā huā rah jā.egā
chār-sū phailī huī be-chehragī kī dhund meñ
ek din be-aks ho kar aa.ina rah jā.egā
har sadā se bach ke vo ehsās-e-tanhā.ī meñ hai
apne hī dīvār-o-dar meñ gūñjtā rah jā.egā
mudda.ā ham apnā kāġhaz par raqam kar jā.eñge
vaqt ke hāthoñ meñ apnā faislā rah jā.egā
do ghaḌī ke vāste aa kar chale jāoge tum
phir mirī tanhā.iyoñ kā silsilā rah jā.egā
ab diloñ meñ koī gunjā.ish nahīñ miltī 'hayāt'
bas kitāboñ meñ likhā harf-e-vafā rah jā.egā
silsila KHwabon ka sab yunhi dhara rah jaega
ek din bistar pe koi jagta rah jaega
ek KHwahish dil ko ghair-abaad karti jaegi
ek parinda dur tak uDta hua rah jaega
chaar-su phaili hui be-chehragi ki dhund mein
ek din be-aks ho kar aaina rah jaega
har sada se bach ke wo ehsas-e-tanhai mein hai
apne hi diwar-o-dar mein gunjta rah jaega
muddaa hum apna kaghaz par raqam kar jaenge
waqt ke hathon mein apna faisla rah jaega
do ghaDi ke waste aa kar chale jaoge tum
phir meri tanhaiyon ka silsila rah jaega
ab dilon mein koi gunjaish nahin milti 'hayat'
bas kitabon mein likha harf-e-wafa rah jaega
