bahut mazā thā uḌaan meñ bhī
yaqīñ thā raushan gumān meñ bhī
hasīn shab par hai chāñd merā
dayā jalā āsmān meñ bhī
vahī akelā hai anjuman meñ
vahī hai tanhā makān meñ bhī
chaTān meñ bhī ravāñ hai dariyā
chhapā hai dariyā chaTān meñ bhī
hue the baazū bhī shal hamāre
huā na thī bādbān meñ bhī
vahī thā āġhāz-o-intihā bhī
vahī rahā darmiyān meñ bhī
chaḌhā na thā tiir bhī nazar kā
lachak na thī kuchh kamān meñ bhī
bahut maza tha uDan mein bhi
yaqin tha raushan guman mein bhi
hasin shab par hai chand mera
daya jala aasman mein bhi
wahi akela hai anjuman mein
wahi hai tanha makan mein bhi
chaTan mein bhi rawan hai dariya
chhapa hai dariya chaTan mein bhi
hue the bazu bhi shal hamare
hua na thi baadban mein bhi
wahi tha aaghaz-o-intiha bhi
wahi raha darmiyan mein bhi
chaDha na tha tir bhi nazar ka
lachak na thi kuchh kaman mein bhi
