manzilen bhi ye shikasta baal-o-par bhi dekhna
manzileñ bhī ye shikasta bāl-o-par bhī dekhnā
tum safar bhī dekhnā raḳht-e-safar bhī dekhnā
hāl-e-dil to khul chukā is shahr meñ har shaḳhs par
haañ magar is shahr meñ ik be-ḳhabar bhī dekhnā
rāsta deñ ye sulagtī bastiyāñ to ek din
qarya-e-jāñ meñ utarnā ye nagar bhī dekhnā
chand lamhoñ kī shanāsā.ī magar ab umr bhar
tum sharar bhī dekhnā raqs-e-sharar bhī dekhnā
jis kī ḳhātir maiñ bhulā baiThā thā apne aap ko
ab usī ke bhuul jaane kā hunar bhī dekhnā
ye to ādāb-e-mohabbat ke munāfī hai 'atā'
rauzan-e-dīvār se bairūn-e-dar bhī dekhnā
manzilen bhi ye shikasta baal-o-par bhi dekhna
tum safar bhi dekhna raKHt-e-safar bhi dekhna
haal-e-dil to khul chuka is shahr mein har shaKHs par
han magar is shahr mein ek be-KHabar bhi dekhna
rasta den ye sulagti bastiyan to ek din
qarya-e-jaan mein utarna ye nagar bhi dekhna
chand lamhon ki shanasai magar ab umr bhar
tum sharar bhi dekhna raqs-e-sharar bhi dekhna
jis ki KHatir main bhula baiTha tha apne aap ko
ab usi ke bhul jaane ka hunar bhi dekhna
ye to aadab-e-mohabbat ke munafi hai 'ata'
rauzan-e-diwar se bairun-e-dar bhi dekhna
