aaj phir waqt koi apni nishani mange

aaj phir vaqt koī apnī nishānī māñge

baat bhūlī huī zaḳhmoñ kī zabānī māñge

jazba-e-shauq ki vāraft-e-husn-e-ib.hām

aur vo shoḳh ki lafzoñ ke ma.ānī māñge

araq-ālūd haiñ ye soch ke aariz gul ke

sub.h-e-ḳhurshīd na shabnam kī javānī māñge

jaane kyuuñ shaam Dhale Dūbte sūraj kā samāñ

dil se phir bhūlī huī koī kahānī māñge

vaqt har gaam pe ik zaḳhm nayā detā hai

aur shā.ir se jahāñ zamzama-ḳhvānī māñge

dil ki tapte hue sahrā kā hai rahrav pyāre

phir tirī zulf se ik shaam suhānī māñge

aaj phir waqt koi apni nishani mange

baat bhuli hui zaKHmon ki zabani mange

jazba-e-shauq ki waraft-e-husn-e-ibham

aur wo shoKH ki lafzon ke maani mange

araq-alud hain ye soch ke aariz gul ke

subh-e-KHurshid na shabnam ki jawani mange

jaane kyun sham Dhale Dubte suraj ka saman

dil se phir bhuli hui koi kahani mange

waqt har gam pe ek zaKHm naya deta hai

aur shair se jahan zamzama-KHwani mange

dil ki tapte hue sahra ka hai rahraw pyare

phir teri zulf se ek sham suhani mange
