Palken Nind Se Bojhal Hain Ya Ab Manzar Ki Tab Nahin

palken niind se bojhal hain ya ab manzar ki taab nahin

kyon in jalti ankhon men ab rang-birange ḳhvab nahin

ik muddat se kis natiq ki nok-e-zaban par aTka huun

main ik lafz huun goya vo bhi ma.ani se sairab nahin

ankhen hain ya ḳhar-e-mughilan chehra hai ya sahra hai

lafz bahut nayab hain pyare dard magar nayab nahin

meri bala se jhukne valon men ma.abud bhi shamil hon

lekin mere sajdon men but-ḳhane ke adab nahin

fitrat ka paighambar kya jaane samjhaute ki baten

dariya muḌ sakte hain lekin dariya ke sailab nahin

ankhen aur chunengi kab tak aḳhir manzar ki kirchen

mujh men to ab jaise apni nazron ki bhi taab nahin
