tumne sach bolne ki jurat ki
tum ne sach bolne kī jur.at kī
ye bhī tauhīn hai adālat kī
manzileñ rāstoñ kī dhuul huiiñ
pūchhte kyā ho tum masāfat kī
apnā zād-e-safar bhī chhoḌ ga.e
jaane vāloñ ne kitnī ujlat kī
maiñ jahāñ qatl ho rahā huuñ vahāñ
mere ajdād ne hukūmat kī
pahle mujh se judā huā aur phir
aks ne ā.īne se hijrat kī
merī āñkhoñ pe us ne haath rakhā
aur ik ḳhvāb kī mahūrat kī
itnā mushkil nahīñ tujhe paanā
ik ghaḌī chāhiye hai fursat kī
ham ne to ḳhud se intiqām liyā
tum ne kyā soch kar mohabbat kī
kaun kis ke liye tabāh huā
kyā zarūrat hai is vazāhat kī
ishq jis se na ho sakā us ne
shā.erī meñ ajab siyāsat kī
yaad aa.ī to hai shanāḳht magar
intihā ho ga.ī hai ġhaflat kī
ham vahāñ pahle rah chuke haiñ 'salīm'
tum ne jis dil meñ ab sukūnat kī
tum ne sach bolne ki jurat ki
ye bhi tauhin hai adalat ki
manzilen raston ki dhul huin
puchhte kya ho tum masafat ki
apna zad-e-safar bhi chhoD gae
jaane walon ne kitni ujlat ki
main jahan qatl ho raha hun wahan
mere ajdad ne hukumat ki
pahle mujh se juda hua aur phir
aks ne aaine se hijrat ki
meri aankhon pe us ne hath rakha
aur ek KHwab ki mahurat ki
itna mushkil nahin tujhe pana
ek ghaDi chahiye hai fursat ki
hum ne to KHud se intiqam liya
tum ne kya soch kar mohabbat ki
kaun kis ke liye tabah hua
kya zarurat hai is wazahat ki
ishq jis se na ho saka us ne
shaeri mein ajab siyasat ki
yaad aai to hai shanaKHt magar
intiha ho gai hai ghaflat ki
hum wahan pahle rah chuke hain 'salim'
tum ne jis dil mein ab sukunat ki
