Kabhi uDo to Sahi Tum uDan Se Upar

Ishaq Athar Siddiqui

kabhi uḌo to sahi tum uḌaan se uupar

faza.en aur bhi hain asman se uupar

mira safina ajab kashmakash men tairta tha

hava sukut men thi badban se uupar

kisi ne sach na kaha aur sab ne sach jaana

ajab kamal-e-bayan tha bayan se uupar

mire harif ke sab tiir be-ḳhata to na the

magar vo dast-e-aman tha kaman se uupar

kisi ne aaj hi paani men paanv Daala hai

chala hai aaj hi dariya nishan se uupar

mira qabila tah-e-asman hai be-ḳhema

yaqin ki had hai magar har guman se uupar

agar ye qafila mera nahin to phir ‘at.har’

hai kis alaav ka partav chaTan se uupar
