kis ne aa kar hum ko di aawaz pichhli raat mein

kis ne aa kar ham ko dī āvāz pichhlī raat meñ

kaun ham ko chheḌne aayā hai in lamhāt meñ

ham mile the maal par kal jis lachaktī Daal se

kāñch kī thiiñ chūḌiyāñ us mah-jabīñ ke haat meñ

rūh-parvar kaifiyat mausam kī thī phir us kā saath

yaar samjhe ham ne daarū pī hai is barsāt meñ

sabz peḌoñ kī suneñ yā un se phir apnī kaheñ

der tak uljhe rahe kal ham usī ik baat meñ

tez chaltī thī havā aur Dolte the peḌ bhī

guftugū un se huī thī ik añdherī raat meñ

mābadoñ kī ghanTiyāñ kal ekā-ekī baj uThīñ

jaane kis ne un ko chheḌā pur-sukūñ hālāt meñ

pyaar kī rut is tarah aa.ī ki sab hairān the

ek ham hī to na be-qābū hue jazbāt meñ

kis ne aa kar hum ko di aawaz pichhli raat mein

kaun hum ko chheDne aaya hai in lamhat mein

hum mile the mal par kal jis lachakti Dal se

kanch ki thin chuDiyan us mah-jabin ke hat mein

ruh-parwar kaifiyat mausam ki thi phir us ka sath

yar samjhe hum ne daru pi hai is barsat mein

sabz peDon ki sunen ya un se phir apni kahen

der tak uljhe rahe kal hum usi ek baat mein

tez chalti thi hawa aur Dolte the peD bhi

guftugu un se hui thi ek andheri raat mein

mabadon ki ghanTiyan kal eka-eki baj uThin

jaane kis ne un ko chheDa pur-sukun haalat mein

pyar ki rut is tarah aai ki sab hairan the

ek hum hi to na be-qabu hue jazbaat mein
