bayaban dur tak maine sajaya tha
bayābāñ duur tak maiñ ne sajāyā thā
magar vo shahr ke raste se aayā thā
diye kī aarzū ko jab bujhāyā thā
phir us ke baad aahaT thī na saaya thā
use jab dekhne ke baad dekhā to
vo ḳhud bhī dil hī dil meñ muskurāyā thā
dil-o-dīvār the ik naam kī zad par
kahīñ likhkhā kahīñ maiñ ne miTāyā thā
hazāroñ is meñ rahne ke liye aa.e
makāñ maiñ ne tasavvur meñ banāyā thā
jahāñ ne mujh ko pahle hī ḳhabar kar dī
kabūtar der se paiġhām laayā thā
chale mallāh kashtī giit ummīdeñ
ki jaise sab ko sāhil ne bulāyā thā
bayaban dur tak main ne sajaya tha
magar wo shahr ke raste se aaya tha
diye ki aarzu ko jab bujhaya tha
phir us ke baad aahaT thi na saya tha
use jab dekhne ke baad dekha to
wo KHud bhi dil hi dil mein muskuraya tha
dil-o-diwar the ek nam ki zad par
kahin likhkha kahin main ne miTaya tha
hazaron is mein rahne ke liye aae
makan main ne tasawwur mein banaya tha
jahan ne mujh ko pahle hi KHabar kar di
kabutar der se paigham laya tha
chale mallah kashti git ummiden
ki jaise sab ko sahil ne bulaya tha
