ham-jins agar mile na koi aasman par
ham-jins agar mile na koī āsmān par
behtar hai ḳhaak Dāliye aisī uḌaan par
aa kar girā thā koī parinda lahū meñ tar
tasvīr apnī chhoḌ gayā hai chaTān par
pūchho samundaroñ se kabhī ḳhaak kā pata
dekho havā kā naqsh kabhī bādbān par
yaaro maiñ is nazar kī bulandī ko kyā karūñ
saaya bhī apnā dekhtā huuñ āsmān par
kitne hī zaḳhm haiñ mire ik zaḳhm meñ chhupe
kitne hī tiir aane lage ik nishān par
jal-thal huī tamām zamīñ ās-pās kī
paanī kī buuñd bhī na girī sā.ebān par
malbūs ḳhush-numā haiñ magar jism khokhle
chhilke saje hoñ jaise phaloñ kī dukān par
saaya nahīñ thā niiñd kā āñkhoñ meñ duur tak
bikhre the raushnī ke nagīñ āsmān par
haq baat aa ke ruk sī ga.ī thī kabhī 'shakeb'
chhāle paḌe hue haiñ abhī tak zabān par
ham-jins agar mile na koi aasman par
behtar hai KHak Daliye aisi uDan par
aa kar gira tha koi parinda lahu mein tar
taswir apni chhoD gaya hai chaTan par
puchho samundaron se kabhi KHak ka pata
dekho hawa ka naqsh kabhi baadban par
yaro main is nazar ki bulandi ko kya karun
saya bhi apna dekhta hun aasman par
kitne hi zaKHm hain mere ek zaKHm mein chhupe
kitne hi tir aane lage ek nishan par
jal-thal hui tamam zamin aas-pas ki
pani ki bund bhi na giri saeban par
malbus KHush-numa hain magar jism khokhle
chhilke saje hon jaise phalon ki dukan par
saya nahin tha nind ka aankhon mein dur tak
bikhre the raushni ke nagin aasman par
haq baat aa ke ruk si gai thi kabhi 'shakeb'
chhaale paDe hue hain abhi tak zaban par
