sine mein sulagte hue lamhat ka jangal
siine meñ sulagte hue lamhāt kā jañgal
kis tarah kaTe tāroñ bharī raat kā jañgal
haañ dast-shanāsī pe baḌā naaz thā us ko
dekhā na gayā us se mire haat kā jañgal
ummīd kā ik peḌ ugaa.e nahīñ ugtā
ḳhud-rav hai magar zehn meñ shub.hāt kā jañgal
de tāqat-e-parvāz ki uupar se guzar jā.ūñ
kyuuñ raah meñ haa.il hai mirī zaat kā jañgal
ḳhvābīda haiñ is meñ ka.ī ayyār darinde
behtar hai ki jal jaa.e ye jazbāt kā jañgal
kuchh aur masā.il mirī jānib hue maa.il
kuchh aur harā ho gayā hālāt kā jañgal
tasvīr-e-ġhazal meñ se jhalaktā huā 'aslam'
ye shahr-e-suḳhan hai ki ḳhurāfāt kā jañgal
sine mein sulagte hue lamhat ka jangal
kis tarah kaTe taron bhari raat ka jangal
han dast-shanasi pe baDa naz tha us ko
dekha na gaya us se mere hat ka jangal
ummid ka ek peD ugae nahin ugta
KHud-raw hai magar zehn mein shubhat ka jangal
de taqat-e-parwaz ki upar se guzar jaun
kyun rah mein hail hai meri zat ka jangal
KHwabida hain is mein kai ayyar darinde
behtar hai ki jal jae ye jazbaat ka jangal
kuchh aur masail meri jaanib hue mail
kuchh aur hara ho gaya haalat ka jangal
taswir-e-ghazal mein se jhalakta hua 'aslam'
ye shahr-e-suKHan hai ki KHurafat ka jangal
