main aks-e-arzu tha hawa le gai mujhe
maiñ aks-e-ārzū thā havā le ga.ī mujhe
zindān-e-āb-o-gil se chhuḌā le ga.ī mujhe
kyā bach rahā thā jis kā tamāshā vo dekhtā
dāman meñ apne ḳhaak chhupā le ga.ī mujhe
kuchh duur tak to chamkī thī mere lahū kī dhaar
phir raat apne saath bahā le ga.ī mujhe
juz tīrgī na haath lagā us kā kuchh surāġh
kin manziloñ se gard-e-navā le ga.ī mujhe
kis ko gumān thā ki kahāñ jā rahā huuñ maiñ
ik shaam aa.ī aur bulā le ga.ī mujhe
parvāz kī havas ne asīr-e-falak rakhā
ruḳhsat huī to daam meñ Daale ga.ī mujhe
sākit khaḌā thā vaqt magar tesha-zan havā
patthar kī tah se 'zeb' nikāle ga.ī mujhe
main aks-e-arzu tha hawa le gai mujhe
zindan-e-ab-o-gil se chhuDa le gai mujhe
kya bach raha tha jis ka tamasha wo dekhta
daman mein apne KHak chhupa le gai mujhe
kuchh dur tak to chamki thi mere lahu ki dhaar
phir raat apne sath baha le gai mujhe
juz tirgi na hath laga us ka kuchh suragh
kin manzilon se gard-e-nawa le gai mujhe
kis ko guman tha ki kahan ja raha hun main
ek sham aai aur bula le gai mujhe
parwaz ki hawas ne asir-e-falak rakha
ruKHsat hui to dam mein Dale gai mujhe
sakit khaDa tha waqt magar tesha-zan hawa
patthar ki tah se 'zeb' nikale gai mujhe
