parā.ī aag meñ yuuñ jal-bujhe sharar mere
khule na mujh pe bhī ahvāl beshtar mere

hai zard reñgte sāyoñ kī zad meñ shāḳh-e-gulāb
tum aa.e ho bhī to kis rut meñ aaj ghar mere

sazā vajūd se bhī qabl ho chukī maqsūm
ḳhabar na rakh mirī is darja be-ḳhabar mere

chhatoñ pe sāya-kunāñ bel jal ga.ī hogī
sulag uThe haiñ kuchh is taur bām-o-dar mere

hamāre beach sarāboñ kā ek rishta thā
kahāñ bichhaḌ ga.e sahrā meñ ham nazar mere

vo raakh bantī huī guuñj meñ sitāra-bār
sirhāne kaun pareshāñ thā rāt-bhar mere

utar rahī thī kiran barf kī chaTānoñ par
chalā gayā vo mujhe ḳhvāb sauñp kar mere

guzar ga.ī shab-e-yaldā to ye huā ma.alūm
surañg paar bhī dushman the ham-safar mere

dayār-e-bād-e-junūb ai dayār-e-bād-e-junūb
tujhe sukūn to hai gul bikher kar mere

maiñ taaq taaq huuñ 'shāhīn' kab se sham.a-ba-kaf
ki ziina ziina vo utre kabhī to ghar mere

parai aag mein yun jal-bujhe sharar mere
khule na mujh pe bhi ahwal beshtar mere

hai zard rengte sayon ki zad mein shaKH-e-gulab
tum aae ho bhi to kis rut mein aaj ghar mere

saza wajud se bhi qabl ho chuki maqsum
KHabar na rakh meri is darja be-KHabar mere

chhaton pe saya-kunan bel jal gai hogi
sulag uThe hain kuchh is taur baam-o-dar mere

hamare beach sarabon ka ek rishta tha
kahan bichhaD gae sahra mein hum nazar mere

wo rakh banti hui gunj mein sitara-bar
sirhane kaun pareshan tha raat-bhar mere

utar rahi thi kiran barf ki chaTanon par
chala gaya wo mujhe KHwab saunp kar mere

guzar gai shab-e-yalda to ye hua malum
surang par bhi dushman the ham-safar mere

dayar-e-baad-e-junub ai dayar-e-baad-e-junub
tujhe sukun to hai gul bikher kar mere

main taq taq hun 'shahin' kab se shama-ba-kaf
ki zina zina wo utre kabhi to ghar mere
