main raat sust anasir se tang aa gaya tha

maiñ raat sust anāsir se tañg aa gayā thā

mirī hayāt-e-fasurda meñ rañg aa gayā thā

nagāḌe piiTe havāoñ ne surḳh pahroñ tak

gadhoñ kā jhunD kabūtar ke sañg aa gayā thā

sitār bajne lage sub.h kī masahrī par

dhanak kā qāfila-e-haft-rañg aa gayā thā

falak pe reñgte sūraj zamīn-bos hue

vo shahsavār-e-shafaq bahr-e-jañg aa gayā thā

añdhere ġhaar meñ ye kilkilātī khopḌiyāñ

inhī ke dekhe ra.ūnat pe zañg aa gayā thā

mire jahān-e-balā saut-o-harf ke dvāre

na jaane kaun liye jal-tarañg aa gayā thā

main raat sust anasir se tang aa gaya tha

meri hayat-e-fasurda mein rang aa gaya tha

nagaDe piTe hawaon ne surKH pahron tak

gadhon ka jhunD kabutar ke sang aa gaya tha

sitar bajne lage subh ki masahri par

dhanak ka qafila-e-haft-rang aa gaya tha

falak pe rengte suraj zamin-bos hue

wo shahsawar-e-shafaq bahr-e-jang aa gaya tha

andhere ghaar mein ye kilkilati khopDiyan

inhi ke dekhe raunat pe zang aa gaya tha

mere jahan-e-bala saut-o-harf ke dware

na jaane kaun liye jal-tarang aa gaya tha
