dil ko āzār lagā detī hai abtarī paar lagā detī hai chāñd to ek hī hotā hai qalaq be-kalī chaar

mausam kā haal aañkh kī khiḌkī batā.egī din Dhal gayā hai shaam kī surḳhī batā.egī murjhā ga.e jo shāḳh-e-ajal par

hasrat ke daaġh dast-e-talab se nahīñ dhule bhārī the ḳhvāb aañkh se puure nahīñ tule chakkar bañdhā thā paañv meñ

phir se darpesh safar kā qissa ek TuuTe hue ghar kā qissa ham ne ta.avīz kī sūrat bāñdhā dil se

jis dam ḳhayāl-e-yār kī be-chehragī ga.ī ā.īna-e-firāq se be-raunaqī ga.ī baiThā ġhubār-e-hasrat-e-ta.amīr ab kī baar shauq-e-safar kī raah meñ āvārgī

vāhima iztirāb kī chaukhaT be-yaqīnī sarāb kī chaukhaT abtarī āstāna-e-vahshat rā.egānī azaab kī chaukhaT surma.ī shaam ke gharauñde meñ ye

ek dar vā huā to band hazār mehrbāñ kam haiñ bahra-mand hazār hāv-hū ḳhaak laao lashkar kī mard koī nahīñ

rog jī-jān ko lagāyā huā zañg ausān ko lagāyā huā ek aTkā huā hai pinjre meñ ek par dhyān ko

chalo sabīl kareñ us ko jā manāne se ḳhushī ko giit mayassar nahīñ zamāne se sukūt aisā samar-bār to kabhī

laakh chhupte phireñ harfoñ meñ simaTte jaa.eñ sher uftād haiñ uḌ uḌ ke lipaTte jaa.eñ hasrats-e-hauq ne is darja uḌaa.ī
