baDa ajib saman aaj raat KHwab mein tha
baḌā ajiib samāñ aaj raat ḳhvāb meñ thā
maiñ un ke paas thā sayyāra āftāb meñ thā
sadaf sadaf jise DhūñD aa.e DhūñDne vaale
ḳhudā kī shaan vo motī kisī hubāb meñ thā
idhar se dast o nigāh o zabāñ tamām savāl
udhar se ek sukūt-e-girāñ javāb meñ thā
havā meñ ek adhūrā fasāna kahtā huā
ye chaak chaak varaq jaane kis kitāb meñ thā
tumhārī bazm se tanhā nahīñ uThā 'ḳhurshīd'
hujūm-e-dard kā ik qāfila rikāb meñ thā
baDa ajib saman aaj raat KHwab mein tha
main un ke pas tha sayyara aaftab mein tha
sadaf sadaf jise DhunD aae DhunDne wale
KHuda ki shan wo moti kisi hubab mein tha
idhar se dast o nigah o zaban tamam sawal
udhar se ek sukut-e-giran jawab mein tha
hawa mein ek adhura fasana kahta hua
ye chaak chaak waraq jaane kis kitab mein tha
tumhaari bazm se tanha nahin uTha 'KHurshid'
hujum-e-dard ka ek qafila rikab mein tha
