zaman makan the mere samne bikharte hue

zamāñ makāñ the mire sāmne bikharte hue

maiñ Dher ho gayā tūl-e-safar se Darte hue

dikhā ke lamha-e-ḳhālī kā aks-e-lā-tafsīr

ye mujh meñ kaun hai mujh se farār karte hue

bas ek zaḳhm thā dil meñ jagah banātā huā

hazār ġham the magar bhūlte-bisarte hue

vo TūTte hue rishtoñ kā husn-e-āḳhir thā

ki chup sī lag ga.ī donoñ ko baat karte hue

ajab nazārā thā bastī kā us kināre par

sabhī bichhaḌ ga.e dariyā se paar utarte hue

maiñ ek hādsa ban kar khaḌā thā raste meñ

ajab zamāne mire sar se the guzarte hue

vahī huā ki takalluf kā husn biich meñ thā

badan the qurb-e-tahī-lams se bikharte hue

zaman makan the mere samne bikharte hue

main Dher ho gaya tul-e-safar se Darte hue

dikha ke lamha-e-KHali ka aks-e-la-tafsir

ye mujh mein kaun hai mujh se farar karte hue

bas ek zaKHm tha dil mein jagah banata hua

hazar gham the magar bhulte-bisarte hue

wo TuTte hue rishton ka husn-e-aKHir tha

ki chup si lag gai donon ko baat karte hue

ajab nazara tha basti ka us kinare par

sabhi bichhaD gae dariya se par utarte hue

main ek hadsa ban kar khaDa tha raste mein

ajab zamane mere sar se the guzarte hue

wahi hua ki takalluf ka husn bich mein tha

badan the qurb-e-tahi-lams se bikharte hue
