wo ek KHema-e-shab jis ka nam duniya tha
vo ek ḳhema-e-shab jis kā naam duniyā thā
kabhī dhuāñ to kabhī chāñdnī sā lagtā thā
hamārī aag bhī taapī hameñ bujhā bhī diyā
jahāñ paḌāv kiyā thā ajiib sahrā thā
havā meñ merī anā bhīgtī rahī varna
maiñ āshiyāne meñ barsāt kaaT saktā thā
jo āsmān bhī TuuTā girā mirī chhat par
mire makāñ se kisī bad-duā kā rishta thā
tum aa ga.e ho ḳhudā kā subūt hai ye bhī
qasam ḳhudā kī abhī maiñ ne tum ko sochā thā
zamīñ pe TuuT ke kaise girā ġhurūr us kā
abhī abhī to use āsmāñ pe dekhā thā
bhañvar lapeT ke nīche utar gayā shāyad
abhī vo shaam se pahle nadī pe baiThā thā
maiñ shāḳh-e-zard ke mātam meñ rah gayā 'qaisar'
ḳhizāñ kā zahr shajar kī jaḌoñ meñ phailā thā
wo ek KHema-e-shab jis ka nam duniya tha
kabhi dhuan to kabhi chandni sa lagta tha
hamari aag bhi tapi hamein bujha bhi diya
jahan paDaw kiya tha ajib sahra tha
hawa mein meri ana bhigti rahi warna
main aashiyane mein barsat kaT sakta tha
jo aasman bhi TuTa gira meri chhat par
mere makan se kisi bad-dua ka rishta tha
tum aa gae ho KHuda ka subut hai ye bhi
qasam KHuda ki abhi main ne tum ko socha tha
zamin pe TuT ke kaise gira ghurur us ka
abhi abhi to use aasman pe dekha tha
bhanwar lapeT ke niche utar gaya shayad
abhi wo sham se pahle nadi pe baiTha tha
main shaKH-e-zard ke matam mein rah gaya 'qaisar'
KHizan ka zahr shajar ki jaDon mein phaila tha
