sawal ka jawab tha jawab ke sawal mein
savāl kā javāb thā javāb ke savāl meñ
giraft-e-shor se chhuTe to ḳhāmushī ke jaal meñ
burā ho ā.īñe tirā maiñ kaun huuñ na khul sakā
mujhī ko pesh kar diyā gayā mirī misāl meñ
baqā-talab thī zindagī shifā-talab thā zaḳhm-e-dil
fanā magar likhī ga.ī hai bāb-e-indimāl meñ
kahīñ sabāt hai nahīñ ye kā.enāt hai nahīñ
magar umīd-e-dīd meñ tasavvur-e-jamāl meñ
qadīm se haTe to ham jadīd meñ ulajh ga.e
nikal ke gardish-e-falak se mausamoñ ke jaal meñ
sawal ka jawab tha jawab ke sawal mein
giraft-e-shor se chhuTe to KHamushi ke jal mein
bura ho aaine tera main kaun hun na khul saka
mujhi ko pesh kar diya gaya meri misal mein
baqa-talab thi zindagi shifa-talab tha zaKHm-e-dil
fana magar likhi gai hai bab-e-indimal mein
kahin sabaat hai nahin ye kaenat hai nahin
magar umid-e-did mein tasawwur-e-jamal mein
qadim se haTe to hum jadid mein ulajh gae
nikal ke gardish-e-falak se mausamon ke jal mein
