main kya bataun chaman mein nazar kahan pe rahi
maiñ kyā batā.ūñ chaman meñ nazar kahāñ pe rahī
kabhī guloñ pe kabhī rū-e-bāġhbāñ pe rahī
bahār meñ to nazar ko sukūñ nasīb na thā
kabhī to barq kabhī shāḳh-e-āshiyāñ pe rahī
tirī talāsh meñ jān-e-nigāh-e-āvāra
kahāñ kahāñ pe ga.ī aur kahāñ kahāñ pe rahī
na jaane kaun sī us kī adā pasand aa.ī
nigāh-e-barq jo har vaqt āshiyāñ pe rahī
na rū-e-shaiḳh haram ko kabhī nasīb huī
jo raushnī kī jhalak chehra-e-butāñ pe rahī
asar se jis ke ma.an jal bujhe the parvāne
vo baat tā-ba-sahar sham.a kī zabāñ pe rahī
main kya bataun chaman mein nazar kahan pe rahi
kabhi gulon pe kabhi ru-e-baghban pe rahi
bahaar mein to nazar ko sukun nasib na tha
kabhi to barq kabhi shaKH-e-ashiyan pe rahi
teri talash mein jaan-e-nigah-e-awara
kahan kahan pe gai aur kahan kahan pe rahi
na jaane kaun si us ki ada pasand aai
nigah-e-barq jo har waqt aashiyan pe rahi
na ru-e-shaiKH haram ko kabhi nasib hui
jo raushni ki jhalak chehra-e-butan pe rahi
asar se jis ke man jal bujhe the parwane
wo baat ta-ba-sahar shama ki zaban pe rahi
