ab masafat mein to aaram nahin aa sakta
ab masāfat meñ to ārām nahīñ aa saktā
ye sitāra bhī mire kaam nahīñ aa saktā
ye mirī saltanat-e-ḳhvāb hai ābād raho
is ke andar koī bahrām nahīñ aa saktā
jaane khilte hue phūloñ ko ḳhabar hai ki nahīñ
baaġh meñ koī siyah-fām nahīñ aa saktā
har havā-ḳhvāh ye kahtā thā ki mahfūz huuñ maiñ
bujhne vāloñ meñ mirā naam nahīñ aa saktā
maiñ jinheñ yaad huuñ ab tak yahī kahte hoñge
shāhzāda kabhī nākām nahīñ aa saktā
Dar hī lagtā hai ki raste meñ na rah jā.ūñ kahīñ
kahlavā dījiye meñ shaam nahīñ aa saktā
ab masafat mein to aaram nahin aa sakta
ye sitara bhi mere kaam nahin aa sakta
ye meri saltanat-e-KHwab hai aabaad raho
is ke andar koi bahram nahin aa sakta
jaane khilte hue phulon ko KHabar hai ki nahin
bagh mein koi siyah-fam nahin aa sakta
har hawa-KHwah ye kahta tha ki mahfuz hun main
bujhne walon mein mera nam nahin aa sakta
main jinhen yaad hun ab tak yahi kahte honge
shahzada kabhi nakaam nahin aa sakta
Dar hi lagta hai ki raste mein na rah jaun kahin
kahlawa dijiye mein sham nahin aa sakta
