sūkhe hue pattoñ meñ āvāz kī ḳhushbū hai
alfāz ke sahrā meñ taḳh.īl kā aahū hai

jaate hue sūraj kī ik tirchhī nazar hī thī
tab sharm kā sindūr thā ab hijr kā gesū hai

mas.hūr fazā kyuuñ hai majbūr sabā kyuuñ hai
rañgoñ ke hisāroñ meñ naġhmāt kā jaadū hai

maujoñ se ulajhnā kyā tūfān se guzarnā kyā
har Dūbne vaale ko ehsās-e-lab-e-jū hai

is daur-e-ḳhirad meñ bhī ai kaash ye mumkin ho
tū soche ki bas maiñ huuñ maiñ samjhūñ ki bas tū hai

kab aañkh jhapak jaa.e tasvīr badal jaa.e
har lamha subuk-rau hai har jalva tunuk-ḳhū hai

bāzār-e-tamannā kī har chiiz hī nāzuk hai
ajnās-e-ġham-e-dil haiñ palkoñ kī tarāzū hai

sukhe hue patton mein aawaz ki KHushbu hai
alfaz ke sahra mein taKHil ka aahu hai

jate hue suraj ki ek tirchhi nazar hi thi
tab sharm ka sindur tha ab hijr ka gesu hai

mashur faza kyun hai majbur saba kyun hai
rangon ke hisaron mein naghmat ka jadu hai

maujon se ulajhna kya tufan se guzarna kya
har Dubne wale ko ehsas-e-lab-e-ju hai

is daur-e-KHirad mein bhi ai kash ye mumkin ho
tu soche ki bas main hun main samjhun ki bas tu hai

kab aankh jhapak jae taswir badal jae
har lamha subuk-rau hai har jalwa tunuk-KHu hai

bazar-e-tamanna ki har chiz hi nazuk hai
ajnas-e-gham-e-dil hain palkon ki taraazu hai
