abhī to faisla baaqī hai shaam hone de
sahar kī oT meñ mahtāb-e-jāñ ko rone de

tirī nazar ke ishāre na raushnī ban jaa.eñ
to phir ye raat kahāñ jugnuoñ ko sone de

bahut huā to havāoñ ke saath ro lūñgā
abhī to zid hai mujhe kashtiyāñ Dubone de

hamāre ba.ad bhī kaam aa.egī junūñ kī aag
ye aag zinda hai is ko na sard hone de

sadī se māñgegī aglī sadī hisāb-e-gunah
mire sarishk ko lamhoñ ke daaġh dhone de

ye ġham mirā hai to phir ġhair se ilāqa kyā
mujhe hī apnī tamannā kā baar Dhone de

babūl sabz hai bāñdhe hisār-e-nāz 'ajmal'
mujhe bhī apnī zamīñ meñ chīnār bone de

abhi to faisla baqi hai sham hone de
sahar ki oT mein mahtab-e-jaan ko rone de

teri nazar ke ishaare na raushni ban jaen
to phir ye raat kahan jugnuon ko sone de

bahut hua to hawaon ke sath ro lunga
abhi to zid hai mujhe kashtiyan Dubone de

hamare baad bhi kaam aaegi junun ki aag
ye aag zinda hai is ko na sard hone de

sadi se mangegi agli sadi hisab-e-gunah
mere sarishk ko lamhon ke dagh dhone de

ye gham mera hai to phir ghair se ilaqa kya
mujhe hi apni tamanna ka bar Dhone de

babul sabz hai bandhe hisar-e-naz 'ajmal'
mujhe bhi apni zamin mein chinar bone de
