dard jab dastaras-e-chāragarāñ se niklā
harf-e-inkār mohabbat kī zabāñ se niklā

zindagānī meñ sabhī rañg the mahrūmī ke
tujh ko dekhā to maiñ ehsās-e-ziyāñ se niklā

sab ba-āsānī mire ḳhvāb ko paḌh lete the
phir to maiñ anjuman-e-dil-zadagāñ se niklā

jazba-e-ishq ne jab eḌiyāñ apnī ragḌīñ
ḳhaak uḌātā huā ik dasht vahāñ se niklā

rozan-e-jism meñ ik dard huā thā dāḳhil
āḳhir āḳhir maiñ vo darvāza-e-jāñ se niklā

muddatoñ tak mirī taḳh.īl amiiñ thī us kī
aur ik din vo mirī hadd-e-gumāñ se niklā

dard jab dastaras-e-chaaragaran se nikla
harf-e-inkar mohabbat ki zaban se nikla

zindagani mein sabhi rang the mahrumi ke
tujh ko dekha to main ehsas-e-ziyan se nikla

sab ba-asani mere KHwab ko paDh lete the
phir to main anjuman-e-dil-zadagan se nikla

jazba-e-ishq ne jab eDiyan apni ragDin
KHak uData hua ek dasht wahan se nikla

rozan-e-jism mein ek dard hua tha daKHil
aaKHir aaKHir main wo darwaza-e-jaan se nikla

muddaton tak meri taKHil amin thi us ki
aur ek din wo meri hadd-e-guman se nikla
