mujhko shikastagi ka qalaq der tak raha
mujh ko shikastagī kā qalaq der tak rahā
kyuuñ chehra phir janāb kā faq der tak rahā
yuuñ to ka.ī kitābeñ paḌhīñ zehn meñ magar
mahfūz ek saada varaq der tak rahā
aksar shab-e-visāl tire rūThne ke baad
ehsās par tilism-e-ramaq der tak rahā
ab hai kitāb-e-ishq meñ jo saada o salīs
pahle vo lafz lafz-e-adaq der tak rahā
sūraj ke sar ko shaam ke neze pe dekh kar
dast-e-zamīñ pe rañg-e-shafaq der tak rahā
us kā javāb ek hī lamhe meñ ḳhatm thā
phir bhī mire savāl kā haq der tak rahā
'bekal' jise bhulā ke zamāna hai mutma.in
tujh ko hī yaad vo bhī sabaq der tak rahā
mujh ko shikastagi ka qalaq der tak raha
kyun chehra phir janab ka faq der tak raha
yun to kai kitaben paDhin zehn mein magar
mahfuz ek sada waraq der tak raha
aksar shab-e-visal tere ruThne ke baad
ehsas par tilism-e-ramaq der tak raha
ab hai kitab-e-ishq mein jo sada o salis
pahle wo lafz lafz-e-adaq der tak raha
suraj ke sar ko sham ke neze pe dekh kar
dast-e-zamin pe rang-e-shafaq der tak raha
us ka jawab ek hi lamhe mein KHatm tha
phir bhi mere sawal ka haq der tak raha
'bekal' jise bhula ke zamana hai mutmain
tujh ko hi yaad wo bhi sabaq der tak raha
