Wo Sukun-e-jism-o-jaan Girdab-e-jaan Hone Ko Hai

wo sukun-e-jism-o-jaan girdab-e-jaan hone ko hai

paniyon ka phul pani mein rawan hone ko hai

mahi-e-be-ab hain aankhon ki be-kal putliyan

in nigahon se koi manzar nihan hone ko hai

gum hua jata hai koi manzilon ki gard mein

zindagi bhar ki masafat raegan hone ko hai

main fasil-e-jism ke bahar khaDa hun dam-ba-KHud

marka sa KHwahishon ke darmiyan hone ko hai

jagta rahta hun us ki wusaton ke KHwab mein

chashm-e-hairan se bayan ek dastan hone ko hai

sham hote hi 'ata' kyun Dubne lagta hai dil

kuchh na kuchh hone ko hai aur na-gahan hone ko hai
