tuu dost kisii kaa bhii sitam_gar na hu_aa thaa


tuu dost kisii kaa bhii sitam_gar na hu_aa thaa
auro.n pe hai vo zulm ki mujh par na hu_aa thaa

chho.Daa mah-e-naKhshab kii tarah dast-e-qazaa ne
Khurshiid hanoz us ke baraabar na hu_aa thaa

taufiiq ba andaaz-e-himmat hai azal se
aa.Nkho.n me.n hai vo qataraa ki gauhar na hu_aa thaa

jab tak kii na dekhaa thaa qad-e-yaar kaa aalam
mai.n motaqid-e-fitanaa-e-mahashar na hu_aa thaa

mai.n saadaa dil aazurdagi-e-yaar se Khush huu.N
yaanii sabaq-e-shauq mukarrar na hu_aa thaa

dariyaa-e-ma_aasii tunuk abhii se hu_aa Khushk
meraa sar-e-daaman bhii abhii tar na hu_aa thaa

jaarii thii asad daaG-e-jigar se mere tahasiil
aatash_qadaa jaagiir-e-samandar na hu_aa thaa
