Sar-e-tur

dil ko be-tab rakhti hai ek aarzu
kam hai ye wusat-e-alam-e-rang-o-bu

le chali hai kidhar phir nai justuju
ta-ba hadd-e-nazar uD ke jate hain hum

wo jo hail the rahon mein shams o qamar
ham-safar un ko apna banate hain hum

hai zamin parda-e-lala-o-nastaran
aasman parda-e-kahkashan hai abhi

raaz-e-fitrat hua lakh hum par ayan
raaz-e-fitrat nihan ka nihan hai abhi

jis ki sadiyon udhar hum ne ki ibtida
na-tamam apni wo dastan hai abhi

manzilen uD gain ban ke gard-e-safar
rahguzaron hi mein karwan hai abhi

pi ke nakaamiyon ki sharab-e-kuhan
apna zauq-e-tajassus jawan hai abhi

hath kaTe gae jurat-e-shauq par
KHun-chakan ho ke wo gul-fishan ho gae

hairaton ne lagai jo mohr-e-sukut
lab KHamoshi mein jadu bayan ho gae

raste mein jo kohsar aae to hum
aise taDpe ki sail-e-rawan ho gae

hain azal se zamin ke kure par amir
ho ke mahdud hum be-karan ho gae

zuaq-e-parwaz bhi dil ki ek jast hai
KHak se zinat-e-asman ho gae

aql-chaalak ne di hai aa kar KHabar
ek shabistan hai aiwan-e-mahtab mein

muntazir hain nigaran-e-atish-badan
jagmagati fazaon ki mehrab mein

kitne dilkash hasin KHwab bedar hain
mah o mirriKH ki chashm-e-be-KHwab mein

khinch phir zulf-e-mashuq-e-nil-gun
le le shole ko phir dast-e-betab mein

muzhda ho mah-jabinan-e-aflak ko
bazm-e-giti ka sahab nazar aa gaya

tahniyat husn ko be-naqabi ki do
dida-war aa gaya parda-dar aa gaya

aasman se gira tha jo kal TuT kar
wo sitara ba-dosh-e-qamar aa gaya

le ke paimana-e-dard-e-dil hath mein
mal ke chehre pe KHun-e-jigar aa gaya

bazm-e-sayyargan-e-falak-sair mein
ek hunar-mand sayyara-gar aa gaya

shauq ki had magar chand tak to nahin
hai abhi rifat-e-asman aur bhi

hai surayya ke pichhe surayya rawan
kahkashan se pare kahkashan aur bhi

jhankti hain fazaon ke pechaak se
rang aur nur ki wadiyan aur bhi

aur bhi manzilen, aur bhi mushkilen
hain abhi ishq ke imtihan aur bhi

aaj dast-e-junun par hai sham-e-KHirad
do jahan jis ke shole se mamur hain

le ke aaen payam-e-tulu-e-sahar
jitne suraj KHalaon mein mastur hain

kah do barq-e-tajalli se ho jalwa-gar
aaj musa nahin hum sar-e-tur hain
