na chaiRho khilti kalyoN, hanste phoolon ko
in uRhti titliyoN, aawara bhawron ko,
tassalsul Toot jaay ga!
fiza mehway sama'at hai,
haseen honton ko naghma-rez rehne do,
nigahaen neechi rakho aur mujassam gosh ban jaao
agar junbish labon ko di,
tassalsul Toot Jaay ga!
hawa say pat-tiyaaN sargoshiyoN meiN mehave haiN
aur jhoomti shakHoN ke jhooloN meiN
parindoN ki chahak se sara sahil
sarmadi ehsas meiN Dooba huwa
sarshar-o-shadaaN hai
agar kankar bhi satah-e-aab pe mara
tassalsul Toot jaay ga!
ufuq meiN Doobte sooraj ka manzar
iss bulandi se zara dekho
issi rangeen kinaare par,
shafaq sona luta-ay gi
yoonhi tum be- hiss-o-saakit raho
aise meiN palkaiN bhi zara jhapkaiN
tassalsul Toot jaay ga!
wo kHwabeeda hai, kHwabeeda hi rehne do
na jaane kHwaab meiN kin waaadiyoN ki sair karti ho
bulandi se phisalte aabsharoN meiN kahiN gum ho
falak- asaar choti par kahiN meh'way tarranum ho
agar awaz di tum ne
tassalsul Toot jaay ga!
maiN shayar hooN,
meri fikr-e- rassa, ehssass ki uss satah par hai
jiss meiN kHushboo rang banti hai
sada ko shakl milti hay
tassavvur bol uthTa hai
kHamoshi gungunaati hai
yeh wo waqfa hai _ _ _ _ _ _ aise meiN,
agar daad-e-sukHan bhi di
tassalsul Toot jaay ga!
