tera nigah-e-shauq koi raaz-dan na tha
terā nigāh-e-shauq koī rāz-dāñ na thā
āñkhoñ ko varna jalva-e-jānāñ kahāñ na thā
’ālam-e-juz ’etibār-e-nihāñ-o-ayāñ na thā
ya.anī ki to ayaañ na huā aur nihāñ na thā
ab tak tirī galī meñ ye rusvā.iyāñ na thiiñ
ab tak to is zamīñ pe koī āsmāñ na thā
kyā din the jab ma.āl-e-vafā kī ḳhabar na thī
vo din bhī the ki hāl-e-vafā dāstāñ na thā
mafhūm-e-kā.enāt tumhār sivā nahīñ
tum chhup ga.e nazar se to saarā jahāñ na thā
har shāḳh har shajar se na thā bijliyoñ ko laag
har shāḳh har shajar pe mirā āshiyāñ na thā
āġhosh-e-maut meñ tah-e-dāmān-e-yār hoñ
vo din ga.e ke mujh pe koī mehrbāñ na thā
āzurda thā ki zabt-e-fuġhāñ meñ asar nahīñ
sharminda huuñ ki zabt-e-fuġhāñ rā.egāñ na thā
ho bhī chuke the dām-e-mohabbat meñ ham asiir
'ālam abhī ba-qaid-e-zamān-o-makāñ na thā
allāh re be-niyāzi-e-ādāb-e-iltifāt
dekhā mujhe to paa.e nazar darmiyāñ na thā
mere dil-e-ġhuyūr kā husn-e-talab to dekh
goyā zabāñ pe harf-e-tamannā garāñ na thā
tū ne karam kiyā to ba-’unvān-e-rañj-e-zīst
ġham bhī mujhe diyā to ġham jāvedāñ na thā
'fānī' fusūn-e-maut kī tāsīr dekhnā
Thahrā vo dil ki jis pe sukūñ kā gumāñ na thā
tera nigah-e-shauq koi raaz-dan na tha
aankhon ko warna jalwa-e-jaanan kahan na tha
’alam-e-juz ’etibar-e-nihan-o-ayan na tha
yani ki to ayan na hua aur nihan na tha
ab tak teri gali mein ye ruswaiyan na thin
ab tak to is zamin pe koi aasman na tha
kya din the jab maal-e-wafa ki KHabar na thi
wo din bhi the ki haal-e-wafa dastan na tha
mafhum-e-kaenat tumhaar siwa nahin
tum chhup gae nazar se to sara jahan na tha
har shaKH har shajar se na tha bijliyon ko lag
har shaKH har shajar pe mera aashiyan na tha
aaghosh-e-maut mein tah-e-daman-e-yar hon
wo din gae ke mujh pe koi mehrban na tha
aazurda tha ki zabt-e-fughan mein asar nahin
sharminda hun ki zabt-e-fughan raegan na tha
ho bhi chuke the dam-e-mohabbat mein hum asir
'alam abhi ba-qaid-e-zaman-o-makan na tha
allah re be-niyazi-e-adab-e-iltifat
dekha mujhe to pae nazar darmiyan na tha
mere dil-e-ghuyur ka husn-e-talab to dekh
goya zaban pe harf-e-tamanna garan na tha
tu ne karam kiya to ba-’unwan-e-ranj-e-zist
gham bhi mujhe diya to gham jawedan na tha
'fani' fusun-e-maut ki tasir dekhna
Thahra wo dil ki jis pe sukun ka guman na tha
