Chand Uljhi Hui Sanson Ki Ata Hun Kya Hun

chand uljhi hui sanson ki ata hun kya hun

main charagh-e-tah-e-daman-e-saba hun kya hun

har nafas hai mera parwarda-e-aghosh-e-bala

apne na-karda gunahon ki saza hun kya hun

mujh pe khulta hi nahin mera sitam-dida wajud

koi patthar hun ki gum-karda sada hun kya hun

dil mein hun aur zaban par kabhi aata bhi nahin

main koi bhola hua harf-e-dua hun kya hun

main safar mein hun magar samt-e-safar koi nahin

kya main KHud apna hi naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa hun kya hun

main ne dekha hi nahin jagti aankhon se kabhi

koi uqda hun ki KHud uqda-kusha hun kya hun

puchhta hai mera pairahan-e-hasti mujh se

main qaba hun ki faqat band-e-qaba hun kya hun

dil ki aur meri zaban ek hai phir bhi 'aKHtar'

lafz o mani ki pur-asrar faza hun kya hun
