ajib baat hai din bhar ke ehtimam ke baad
ajiib baat hai din bhar ke ehtimām ke ba.ad
charāġh ek bhī raushan huā na shaam ke ba.ad
sunā.ūñ maiñ kise rūdād-e-shahr-e-nā-pursāñ
ki ajnabī huuñ yahāñ muddatoñ qayām ke ba.ad
ḳhirad aliil thī daur-e-sharāb se pahle
qadam meñ aa.ī thī laġhzish shikast-e-jām ke ba.ad
sitam-zarīfī-e-tārīḳh hai ki masnad-gīr
sadā ḳhavās hue inqalāb-e-ām ke ba.ad
habāb soch ke kyā ham-rikāb-e-mauj huā
ki baiTh jaanā thā jab ek aadh gaam ke ba.ad
rahe charāġh darīche meñ dar khulā rakhnā
musāfir aan nikalte haiñ ba.az shaam ke ba.ad
kabhī kabhī to ho 'shaukat' shadīd ye ehsās
ki ham tuyūr qafas meñ paḌe haiñ daam ke ba.ad
ajib baat hai din bhar ke ehtimam ke baad
charagh ek bhi raushan hua na sham ke baad
sunaun main kise rudad-e-shahr-e-na-pursan
ki ajnabi hun yahan muddaton qayam ke baad
KHirad alil thi daur-e-sharab se pahle
qadam mein aai thi laghzish shikast-e-jam ke baad
sitam-zarifi-e-tariKH hai ki masnad-gir
sada KHawas hue inqalab-e-am ke baad
habab soch ke kya ham-rikab-e-mauj hua
ki baiTh jaana tha jab ek aadh gam ke baad
rahe charagh dariche mein dar khula rakhna
musafir aan nikalte hain baz sham ke baad
kabhi kabhi to ho 'shaukat' shadid ye ehsas
ki hum tuyur qafas mein paDe hain dam ke baad
