kuchh to hawa bhi sard thi kuchh tha tera KHayal bhi
kuchh to havā bhī sard thī kuchh thā tirā ḳhayāl bhī
dil ko ḳhushī ke saath saath hotā rahā malāl bhī
baat vo aadhī raat kī raat vo puure chāñd kī
chāñd bhī ain chait kā us pe tirā jamāl bhī
sab se nazar bachā ke vo mujh ko kuchh aise dekhtā
ek dafa to ruk ga.ī gardish-e-māh-o-sāl bhī
dil to chamak sakegā kyā phir bhī tarāsh ke dekh leñ
shīsha-girān-e-shahr ke haath kā ye kamāl bhī
us ko na pā sake the jab dil kā ajiib haal thā
ab jo palaT ke dekhiye baat thī kuchh muhāl bhī
merī talab thā ek shaḳhs vo jo nahīñ milā to phir
haath duā se yuuñ girā bhuul gayā savāl bhī
us kī suḳhan-tarāziyāñ mere liye bhī Dhaal thiiñ
us kī hañsī meñ chhup gayā apne ġhamoñ kā haal bhī
gaah qarīb-e-shāh-rag gaah ba.īd-e-vahm-o-ḳhvāb
us kī rafāqatoñ meñ raat hijr bhī thā visāl bhī
us ke hī bāzuoñ meñ aur us ko hī sochte rahe
jism kī ḳhvāhishoñ pe the ruuh ke aur jaal bhī
shaam kī nā-samajh havā pūchh rahī hai ik patā
mauj-e-havā-e-kū-e-yār kuchh to mirā ḳhayāl bhī
kuchh to hawa bhi sard thi kuchh tha tera KHayal bhi
dil ko KHushi ke sath sath hota raha malal bhi
baat wo aadhi raat ki raat wo pure chand ki
chand bhi ain chait ka us pe tera jamal bhi
sab se nazar bacha ke wo mujh ko kuchh aise dekhta
ek dafa to ruk gai gardish-e-mah-o-sal bhi
dil to chamak sakega kya phir bhi tarash ke dekh len
shisha-giran-e-shahr ke hath ka ye kamal bhi
us ko na pa sake the jab dil ka ajib haal tha
ab jo palaT ke dekhiye baat thi kuchh muhaal bhi
meri talab tha ek shaKHs wo jo nahin mila to phir
hath dua se yun gira bhul gaya sawal bhi
us ki suKHan-taraaziyan mere liye bhi Dhaal thin
us ki hansi mein chhup gaya apne ghamon ka haal bhi
gah qarib-e-shah-rag gah baid-e-wahm-o-KHwab
us ki rafaqaton mein raat hijr bhi tha visal bhi
us ke hi bazuon mein aur us ko hi sochte rahe
jism ki KHwahishon pe the ruh ke aur jal bhi
sham ki na-samajh hawa puchh rahi hai ek pata
mauj-e-hawa-e-ku-e-yar kuchh to mera KHayal bhi
