ashkoñ se dhul ke ā.ina-ḳhāna badal gayā

bārish huī to mausam-e-rafta badal gayā

jab bhī sambhālā chāñd ne barbād shahr ko

dīvār-o-dar vahī rahe naqsha badal gayā

ik dasht-e-be-amāñ meñ safar kar rahe the ham

sāñseñ ukhaḌ ga.iiñ kabhī rasta badal gayā

utrī nazar se gard to manzar kuchh aur thā

yuuñ lag rahā thā jaise vo chehra badal gayā

har baar pahuñche ham tire me.aar tak magar

har baar terā ham se taqāzā badal gayā

pahle to intiqām ne shal kar diye havās

phir jaane kyā huā ki irāda badal gayā

is baar tere harf-e-tasallī na bin sake

is baar terī baat kā lahja badal gayā

kam kam rahā thā din ke samay dil meñ terā aks

shab aa ga.ī to jaise ye shīsha badal gayā
