Jo Mauj KHushbuon Ki Thi Gulab Se Nikal Gai

jo mauj ḳhushbuon ki thi gulab se nikal ga.i

main muzmahil thi is qadar shabab se nikal ga.i

ye zindagi ye ruḳhsati usi ki hain amanaten

shikasta jism men tire azaab se nikal ga.i

main likh rahi thi dastan tira bhi naam aa gaya

kahani apne aap hi kitab se nikal ga.i

vo lams baḌh raha tha ab qarib se qarib-tar

so main ne faisla kiya habab se nikal ga.i

sharik dauḌ men hue safar bhi aur qayam bhi

to raḳhsh-e-vaqt main tiri rikab se nikal ga.i

saval ka javab bhi saval hi se dega tu

jhamela-saz main tire sarab se nikal ga.i

main mubtala-e-arzu thi aarzu se jaag uThi

aur agle pal hi zindagi hisab se nikal ga.i

nirash chand tirgi men ghul ke shant ho gaya

‘sahar’ main niind men chali to ḳhvab se nikal ga.i
