jab tujhe milne ki tadbir nai hoti hai

jab tujhe milne ki tadbir nai hoti hai
surat-e-gardish-e-taqdir nai hoti hai
munhadim hota hun har aan pas-e-harf-e-kuhan
tab kahin sher ki tabir nai hoti hai


kaise lauta main tere dast-e-zamana-gar mein
tere chhune se to taswir nai hoti hai
waqt de jae jise yaad purani koi
roz us harf ki tasir nai hoti hai


ek ajab kaif mein chalta hun sar-e-dasht-e-bala
jab mere panw mein zanjir nai hoti hai
hum badalte nahin 'arman' kabhi jah-o-hasham
han isi khwab ki tabir nai hoti hai
