ek wahm ki surat sar-e-diwar-e-yaqin hain
ik vahm kī sūrat sar-e-dīvār-e-yaqīñ haiñ
dekho to haiñ maujūd na dekho to nahīñ haiñ
ham se kashish-e-mauja-e-raftār na pūchho
ham ahl-e-mohabbat to giraftār-e-zamīñ haiñ
is raah se haT kar guzar ai nāqa-e-lailā
is gosha-e-sahrā meñ ham ārām-guzīñ haiñ
chhoḌeñ bhī to kis tarah ham is shahr ko chhoḌeñ
is najd ke pāband tire ḳhāk-nashīñ haiñ
is dā.era-e-raushni-o-rañg se aage
kyā jāniye kis haal meñ bastī ke makīñ haiñ
vo tab bhī gurezāñ the magar dushman-e-dil the
vo ab bhī gurezāñ haiñ magar dushman-e-dīñ haiñ
har marhal-e-būd thā nābūd kī manzil
lekin tire hote hameñ lagtā thā hamīñ haiñ
kis taur sameTeñ tirī palkoñ ke sitāre
kahne ko to shā.er haiñ magar apne ta.iiñ haiñ
ek wahm ki surat sar-e-diwar-e-yaqin hain
dekho to hain maujud na dekho to nahin hain
hum se kashish-e-mauja-e-raftar na puchho
hum ahl-e-mohabbat to giraftar-e-zamin hain
is rah se haT kar guzar ai naqa-e-laila
is gosha-e-sahra mein hum aaram-guzin hain
chhoDen bhi to kis tarah hum is shahr ko chhoDen
is najd ke paband tere KHak-nashin hain
is daera-e-raushni-o-rang se aage
kya jaaniye kis haal mein basti ke makin hain
wo tab bhi gurezan the magar dushman-e-dil the
wo ab bhi gurezan hain magar dushman-e-din hain
har marhal-e-bud tha nabud ki manzil
lekin tere hote hamein lagta tha hamin hain
kis taur sameTen teri palkon ke sitare
kahne ko to shaer hain magar apne tain hain
