us aaKhiri bose meN kya hijr numaaii thii

us aaKhiri bose meN kya hijr numaaii thii
pal bhar ki rafaaqat meN sadiyoN ki judaaii thii

phooloN ne bhii aaNKhoN meN ik aag hi bhaRhkaaii thii
titlii ko pakaRh kar bhii taskeen na paaii thii

jab *** paRhi dill par tab aaNKh Khuli merii
goya ye giraftaari-e-zindaaN se rihaaii thii

taKhliiq ka lamha bhi kya karb ka lamha thaa
ik simt Khuda Khud thaa ik simt Khudaaii thii

ye kooRh nazar duniya us ko bhii ghaTa samjhii
jo abr ke TukRhoN ne tasveer banaaii thii

tashkiik pe qaaiim haiN sab ilm ki buniyaadeiN
mushkil yahi KhavaaboN ki ta'abiir meN aaii thii

band aaNKh se deKhaa thaa maNzar tere aane ka
sooraj ko andhere ne kya rah diKhaaii thii
