ek dariche ki tamanna mujhe dubhar hui hai
ik darīche kī tamannā mujhe dūbhar huī hai
vo ghuTan hī mirī sāñsoñ pe muqarrar huī hai
aaj rakkhe haiñ qadam us ne mirī chaukhaT par
aaj dahlīz mirī chhat ke barābar huī hai
niiñd ne niiñd se chauñkā ke uThāyā mujh ko
ḳhvāb meñ ḳhvāb kī ta.abīr ujāgar huī hai
us ne rātoñ ke taqaddus ko kiyā hai majrūh
ek muTThī bhī jise dhuup mayassar huī hai
jab se sīkhā hai hunar shīshagarī kā maiñ ne
bas usī din se ye duniyā hai ki patthar huī hai
ab zamīnoñ ko bichhā.e ki falak ko oḌhe
muflisī to bharī barsāt meñ be-ghar huī hai
ek muddat se jo sahrā-e-masarrat thī 'salīm'
ġham ke chhūte hī vahī chashm samundar huī hai
ek dariche ki tamanna mujhe dubhar hui hai
wo ghuTan hi meri sanson pe muqarrar hui hai
aaj rakkhe hain qadam us ne meri chaukhaT par
aaj dahliz meri chhat ke barabar hui hai
nind ne nind se chaunka ke uThaya mujh ko
KHwab mein KHwab ki tabir ujagar hui hai
us ne raaton ke taqaddus ko kiya hai majruh
ek muTThi bhi jise dhup mayassar hui hai
jab se sikha hai hunar shishagari ka main ne
bas usi din se ye duniya hai ki patthar hui hai
ab zaminon ko bichhae ki falak ko oDhe
muflisi to bhari barsat mein be-ghar hui hai
ek muddat se jo sahra-e-masarrat thi 'salim'
gham ke chhute hi wahi chashm samundar hui hai
