humne rakkha tha jise apni kahani mein kahin
ham ne rakkhā thā jise apnī kahānī meñ kahīñ
ab vo tahrīr hai aurāq-e-ḳhizānī meñ kahīñ
bas ye ik sā.at-e-hijrāñ hai ki jaatī hī nahīñ
koī Thahrā bhī hai is ālam-e-fānī meñ kahīñ
jitnā sāmāñ bhī ikaTThā kiyā is ghar ke liye
bhuul jā.eñge use naql-e-makānī meñ kahīñ
ḳhair auroñ kā to kyā zikr ki ab lagtā hai
tū bhī shāmil hai mire ranj-e-zamānī meñ kahīñ
chashm-e-namnāk ko is darja haqārat se na dekh
tujh ko mil jaanā hai ik din isī paanī meñ kahīñ
markaz-e-jāñ to vahī tū hai magar tere sivā
log haiñ aur bhī is yaad purānī meñ kahīñ
jashn-e-mātam bhī hai raunaq sī tamāshā.ī ko
koī naġhma bhī hai is marsiya-ḳhvānī meñ kahīñ
aaj ke din meñ kisī aur hī din kī hai jhalak
shaam hai aur hī is shaam suhānī meñ kahīñ
kyā samajh aa.e kisī ko mujhe mālūm bhī hai
baat kar jaatā huuñ maiñ apnī ravānī meñ kahīñ
hum ne rakkha tha jise apni kahani mein kahin
ab wo tahrir hai auraq-e-KHizani mein kahin
bas ye ek saat-e-hijran hai ki jati hi nahin
koi Thahra bhi hai is aalam-e-fani mein kahin
jitna saman bhi ikaTTha kiya is ghar ke liye
bhul jaenge use naql-e-makani mein kahin
KHair auron ka to kya zikr ki ab lagta hai
tu bhi shamil hai mere ranj-e-zamani mein kahin
chashm-e-namnak ko is darja haqarat se na dekh
tujh ko mil jaana hai ek din isi pani mein kahin
markaz-e-jaan to wahi tu hai magar tere siwa
log hain aur bhi is yaad purani mein kahin
jashn-e-matam bhi hai raunaq si tamashai ko
koi naghma bhi hai is marsiya-KHwani mein kahin
aaj ke din mein kisi aur hi din ki hai jhalak
sham hai aur hi is sham suhani mein kahin
kya samajh aae kisi ko mujhe malum bhi hai
baat kar jata hun main apni rawani mein kahin
