Raat Be-KHwabiyon Ka Safar Tere Bin

Khwaja Sajid

raat be-ḳhvabiyon ka safar tere bin

din hai bechainiyon ka nagar tere bin

qurbaten faslon men badalti rahin

bad-gumani har ik moḌ par tere bin

chandni men sahar, husn, ThanDak na nuur

aib tha us ka har ik hunar tere bin

ḳhvab ḳhana-ba-doshon se phirte rahe

niind bhi ho ga.i dar-ba-dar tere bin

mere balon men chandi pirote rahe

tez-raftar sham-o-sahar tere bin

phir tire lauTne ki ḳhabar aa.i thi

ham nahin the kabhi be-ḳhabar tere bin

ankhen jalti hain meri diyon ki jagah

shaam se ghar ki dahliz par tere bin

ab na savan, na jhule, na sakhiyan, na giit

jaise ḳhamosh saara nagar tere bin

chandni DhunDhti thi tire naqsh-e-pa

raat, taron ki dahliz par tere bin
