jangalon ki ye muhim hai raKHt-e-jaan koi nahin
jañgaloñ kī ye muhim hai raḳht-e-jāñ koī nahīñ
sañg-rezoñ kī girah meñ kahkashāñ koī nahīñ
kyā ḳhabar hai kis kināre is safar kī shaam ho
kashti-e-umr-e-ravāñ meñ bādbāñ koī nahīñ
āshiqoñ ne sirf apne dukh ko samjhā mo'tabar
mehr sab kī aarzū hai mehrbāñ koī nahīñ
ek dariyā paar kar ke aa gayā huuñ us ke paas
ek sahrā ke sivā ab darmiyāñ koī nahīñ
hasratoñ kī aabrū tahzīb-e-ġham se bach ga.ī
is nafāsat se jalā hai dil dhuāñ koī nahīñ
kaT chuke haiñ apne maazī se suḳhan ke pesha-var
marsiya-go so chuke aur qissa-ḳhvāñ koī nahīñ
pūchhtā hai aaj un kā be-takalluf sā libās
is galī meñ kyā jiyālā naujavāñ koī nahīñ
vo rahe qaid-e-zamāñ meñ jo makīn-e-ām ho
lamha lamha jiine vāloñ kā makāñ koī nahīñ
majlisoñ kī ḳhaak chhānī to khulā mujh par 'na.īm'
aazmī sā ḳhush-nigāh o ḳhush-bayāñ koī nahīñ
jangalon ki ye muhim hai raKHt-e-jaan koi nahin
sang-rezon ki girah mein kahkashan koi nahin
kya KHabar hai kis kinare is safar ki sham ho
kashti-e-umr-e-rawan mein baadban koi nahin
aashiqon ne sirf apne dukh ko samjha mo'tabar
mehr sab ki aarzu hai mehrban koi nahin
ek dariya par kar ke aa gaya hun us ke pas
ek sahra ke siwa ab darmiyan koi nahin
hasraton ki aabru tahzib-e-gham se bach gai
is nafasat se jala hai dil dhuan koi nahin
kaT chuke hain apne mazi se suKHan ke pesha-war
marsiya-go so chuke aur qissa-KHwan koi nahin
puchhta hai aaj un ka be-takalluf sa libas
is gali mein kya jiyala naujawan koi nahin
wo rahe qaid-e-zaman mein jo makin-e-am ho
lamha lamha jine walon ka makan koi nahin
majlison ki KHak chhani to khula mujh par 'naim'
aazmi sa KHush-nigah o KHush-bayan koi nahin
