ham to gavāh haiñ ki ġhalat thā likhā gayā
kyā faisla huā thā magar kyā likhā gayā
ye kaisī munsifī thī ki munsif ke rū-ba-rū
jhūTī shahādatoñ ko bhī sachchā likhā gayā
maktūb-e-ġham hamārā paḌhā hī nahīñ gayā
varna to us meñ haal thā saarā likhā gayā
mulzim ko bhī to miltā hai kuchh bolne kā haq
phir kyuuñ nahīñ bayān hamārā likhā gayā
ham chup rahe ki faisla saarā thā tai-shuda
ya.anī jo mudda.ī ne likhāyā likhā gayā
bantī kisī bhī harf kī pahchān kis tarah
jo bhī likhā gayā vo adhūrā likhā gayā
bhūlī nahīñ vo zulm ki 'shabnam' sar-e-furāt
ātish ko aab dasht ko dariyā likhā gayā
