shikwa koi dariya ki rawani se nahin hai
shikva koī dariyā kī ravānī se nahīñ hai
rishta hī mirī pyaas kā paanī se nahīñ hai
kal yuuñ thā ki ye qaid-e-zamānī se the bezār
fursat jinheñ ab sair-e-makānī se nahīñ hai
chāhā to yaqīñ aa.e na sachchā.ī pe us kī
ḳhā.if koī gul ahd-e-ḳhizānī se nahīñ hai
dohrātā nahīñ maiñ bhī ga.e logoñ kī bāteñ
is daur ko nisbat bhī kahānī se nahīñ hai
kahte haiñ mire haq meñ suḳhan-fahm bas itnā
sheroñ meñ jo ḳhūbī hai muānī se nahīñ hai
shikwa koi dariya ki rawani se nahin hai
rishta hi meri pyas ka pani se nahin hai
kal yun tha ki ye qaid-e-zamani se the bezar
fursat jinhen ab sair-e-makani se nahin hai
chaha to yaqin aae na sachchai pe us ki
KHaif koi gul ahd-e-KHizani se nahin hai
dohraata nahin main bhi gae logon ki baaten
is daur ko nisbat bhi kahani se nahin hai
kahte hain mere haq mein suKHan-fahm bas itna
sheron mein jo KHubi hai muani se nahin hai
