tujhse baDh kar koi pyara bhi nahin ho sakta
tujh se baḌh kar koī pyārā bhī nahīñ ho saktā
par tirā saath gavārā bhī nahīñ ho saktā
rāsta bhī ġhalat ho saktā hai manzil bhī ġhalat
har sitārā to sitārā bhī nahīñ ho saktā
paañv rakhte hī phisal saktā hai miTTī ho ki ret
har kinārā to kinārā bhī nahīñ ho saktā
us tak āvāz pahuñchnī bhī baḌī mushkil hai
aur na dekhe to ishāra bhī nahīñ ho saktā
tere bandoñ kī ma.īshat kā ajab haal huā
aish kaisā ki guzārā bhī nahīñ ho saktā
apnā dushman hī dikhā.ī nahīñ detā ho jise
aisā lashkar to saf-ārā bhī nahīñ ho saktā
pahle hī lazzat-e-inkār se vāqif nahīñ jo
us se inkār dobāra bhī nahīñ ho saktā
husn aisā ki chakā-chaund huī haiñ āñkheñ
hairat aisī ki nazzārā bhī nahīñ ho saktā
chaliye vo shaḳhs hamārā to kabhī thā hī nahīñ
dukh to ye hai ki tumhārā bhī nahīñ ho saktā
duniyā achchhī bhī nahīñ lagtī ham aisoñ ko 'salīm'
aur duniyā se kinārā bhī nahīñ ho saktā
tujh se baDh kar koi pyara bhi nahin ho sakta
par tera sath gawara bhi nahin ho sakta
rasta bhi ghalat ho sakta hai manzil bhi ghalat
har sitara to sitara bhi nahin ho sakta
panw rakhte hi phisal sakta hai miTTi ho ki ret
har kinara to kinara bhi nahin ho sakta
us tak aawaz pahunchni bhi baDi mushkil hai
aur na dekhe to ishaara bhi nahin ho sakta
tere bandon ki maishat ka ajab haal hua
aish kaisa ki guzara bhi nahin ho sakta
apna dushman hi dikhai nahin deta ho jise
aisa lashkar to saf-ara bhi nahin ho sakta
pahle hi lazzat-e-inkar se waqif nahin jo
us se inkar dobara bhi nahin ho sakta
husn aisa ki chaka-chaund hui hain aankhen
hairat aisi ki nazzara bhi nahin ho sakta
chaliye wo shaKHs hamara to kabhi tha hi nahin
dukh to ye hai ki tumhaara bhi nahin ho sakta
duniya achchhi bhi nahin lagti hum aison ko 'salim'
aur duniya se kinara bhi nahin ho sakta
- Book : duniya aarzoo se kam hai (Pg. 91)
