aaj phir shab ka hawala teri jaanib Thahre

aaj phir shab kā havāla tirī jānib Thahre

chāñd mazmūn bane sharh-e-kavākib Thahre

dād-o-tahsīn kī bolī nahīñ tafhīm kā naqd

shart kuchh to mire bikne kī munāsib Thahre

nek guzre mirī shab sidq-e-badan se tere

ġham nahīñ rābta-e-sub.h jo kāzib Thahre

muḳhlisī bā.is-e-taz.hīk zehānat dushman

ye mahāsin to mire haq meñ ma.ā.ib Thahre

maiñ huuñ ḳhud se mutaqābil mutabādil mutazād

ruuh Thahre mirā unvāñ kabhī qālib Thahre

baaT hī dil ke judā hoñ to bhalā kaun āḳhir

kis kā ham-vazn ba-mīzān-e-matālib Thahre

aaj phir shab ka hawala teri jaanib Thahre

chand mazmun bane sharh-e-kawakib Thahre

dad-o-tahsin ki boli nahin tafhim ka naqd

shart kuchh to mere bikne ki munasib Thahre

nek guzre meri shab sidq-e-badan se tere

gham nahin rabta-e-subh jo kazib Thahre

muKHlisi bais-e-tazhik zehanat dushman

ye mahasin to mere haq mein maaib Thahre

main hun KHud se mutaqabil mutabaadil mutazad

ruh Thahre mera unwan kabhi qalib Thahre

baT hi dil ke juda hon to bhala kaun aaKHir

kis ka ham-wazn ba-mizan-e-matalib Thahre
