ganwai kis ki tamanna mein zindagi maine
gañvā.ī kis kī tamannā meñ zindagī maiñ ne
vo kaun hai jise dekhā nahīñ kabhī maiñ ne
tirā ḳhayāl to hai par tirā vajūd nahīñ
tire liye to ye mahfil sajā.ī thī maiñ ne
tire adam ko gavārā na thā vajūd mirā
so apnī beḳh-kunī kī kamī na kī maiñ ne
haiñ merī zaat se mansūb sad fasāna-e-ishq
aur ek satr bhī ab tak nahīñ likhī maiñ ne
ḳhud apne ishva-o-andāz kā shahīd huuñ maiñ
ḳhud apnī zaat se bartī hai be-ruḳhī maiñ ne
mire harīf mirī yakka-tāzīyoñ pe nisār
tamām umr halīfoñ se jañg kī maiñ ne
ḳharāsh-e-naġhma se siina chhilā huā hai mirā
fuġhāñ ki tark na kī naġhma-parvarī maiñ ne
davā se fā.eda maqsūd thā hī kab ki faqat
davā ke shauq meñ sehat tabāh kī maiñ ne
zabāna-zan thā jigar-soz tishnagī kā azaab
so jauf-e-sīna meñ dozaḳh uñDel lī maiñ ne
surūr-e-mai pe bhī ġhālib rahā shu.ūr mirā
ki har ri.āyat-e-ġham zehn meñ rakhī maiñ ne
ġham-e-shu.ūr koī dam to mujh ko mohlat de
tamām-umr jalāyā hai apnā jī maiñ ne
ilaaj ye hai ki majbūr kar diyā jā.ūñ
vagarna yuuñ to kisī kī nahīñ sunī maiñ ne
rahā maiñ shāhid-e-tanhā nashīn-e-masnad-e-ġham
aur apne karb-e-anā se ġharaz rakhī maiñ ne
ganwai kis ki tamanna mein zindagi main ne
wo kaun hai jise dekha nahin kabhi main ne
tera KHayal to hai par tera wajud nahin
tere liye to ye mahfil sajai thi main ne
tere adam ko gawara na tha wajud mera
so apni beKH-kuni ki kami na ki main ne
hain meri zat se mansub sad fasana-e-ishq
aur ek satr bhi ab tak nahin likhi main ne
KHud apne ishwa-o-andaz ka shahid hun main
KHud apni zat se barti hai be-ruKHi main ne
mere harif meri yakka-taziyon pe nisar
tamam umr halifon se jang ki main ne
KHarash-e-naghma se sina chhila hua hai mera
fughan ki tark na ki naghma-parwari main ne
dawa se faeda maqsud tha hi kab ki faqat
dawa ke shauq mein sehat tabah ki main ne
zabana-zan tha jigar-soz tishnagi ka azab
so jauf-e-sina mein dozaKH unDel li main ne
surur-e-mai pe bhi ghaalib raha shuur mera
ki har riayat-e-gham zehn mein rakhi main ne
gham-e-shuur koi dam to mujh ko mohlat de
tamam-umr jalaya hai apna ji main ne
ilaj ye hai ki majbur kar diya jaun
wagarna yun to kisi ki nahin suni main ne
raha main shahid-e-tanha nashin-e-masnad-e-gham
aur apne karb-e-ana se gharaz rakhi main ne
