har ek qayas haqiqat se dur-tar nikla
har ik qayās haqīqat se dūr-tar niklā
kitāb kā na koī dars mo'tabar niklā
nafas tamām huā dāstān ḳhatm huī
jo thā tavīl vahī harf muḳhtasar niklā
jo gard saath na uḌtī safar na yuuñ kaTtā
ġhubār-e-rāhguzar mauj-e-bāl-o-par niklā
mujhe bhī kuchh na.e teshe sambhālne hī paḌe
purāne ḳhol ko jab vo bhī toḌ kar niklā
fazā kushāda nahīñ qatl-gāh kī ye kahāñ
mire lahū kā parinda uḌaan par niklā
vo aadmī ki jo mahmil thā āftāboñ kā
ba-qadr-e-yak-do kaf-e-ḳhāk-e-rahguzar niklā
ye raat jis ke liye maiñ ne jaag kar kaaTī
milā vo shaḳhs to ḳhvāboñ kā ham-safar niklā
uḌhā dī chādar-e-ismat ise ḳhayāloñ ne
har ek lafz zabāñ se barahna-sar niklā
'fazā' tum uljhe rahe fikr o falsafe meñ yahāñ
ba-nām-e-ishq vahāñ qur.a-e-hunar niklā
har ek qayas haqiqat se dur-tar nikla
kitab ka na koi dars mo'tabar nikla
nafas tamam hua dastan KHatm hui
jo tha tawil wahi harf muKHtasar nikla
jo gard sath na uDti safar na yun kaTta
ghubar-e-rahguzar mauj-e-baal-o-par nikla
mujhe bhi kuchh nae teshe sambhaalne hi paDe
purane KHol ko jab wo bhi toD kar nikla
faza kushada nahin qatl-gah ki ye kahan
mere lahu ka parinda uDan par nikla
wo aadmi ki jo mahmil tha aaftabon ka
ba-qadr-e-yak-do kaf-e-KHak-e-rahguzar nikla
ye raat jis ke liye main ne jag kar kaTi
mila wo shaKHs to KHwabon ka ham-safar nikla
uDha di chadar-e-ismat ise KHayalon ne
har ek lafz zaban se barahna-sar nikla
'faza' tum uljhe rahe fikr o falsafe mein yahan
ba-nam-e-ishq wahan qura-e-hunar nikla
