aankh bhar aai kisi se jo mulaqat hui

aañkh bhar aa.ī kisī se jo mulāqāt huī

ḳhushk mausam thā magar TuuT ke barsāt huī

din bhī Duubā ki nahīñ ye mujhe ma.alūm nahīñ

jis jagah bujh ga.e āñkhoñ ke diye raat huī

koī hasrat koī armāñ koī ḳhvāhish hī na thī

aise aalam meñ mirī ḳhud se mulāqāt huī

ho gayā apne paḌosī kā paḌosī dushman

ādamiyyat bhī yahāñ nazr-e-fasādāt huī

isī honī ko to qismat kā likhā kahte haiñ

jītne kā jahāñ mauqa.a thā vahīñ maat huī

is tarah guzrā hai bachpan ki khilaune na mile

aur javānī meñ buḌhāpe se mulāqāt huī

aankh bhar aai kisi se jo mulaqat hui

KHushk mausam tha magar TuT ke barsat hui

din bhi Duba ki nahin ye mujhe malum nahin

jis jagah bujh gae aankhon ke diye raat hui

koi hasrat koi arman koi KHwahish hi na thi

aise aalam mein meri KHud se mulaqat hui

ho gaya apne paDosi ka paDosi dushman

aadamiyyat bhi yahan nazr-e-fasadat hui

isi honi ko to qismat ka likha kahte hain

jitne ka jahan mauqa tha wahin mat hui

is tarah guzra hai bachpan ki khilaune na mile

aur jawani mein buDhape se mulaqat hui
