aankhon se dur subh ke tare chale gae

āñkhoñ se duur sub.h ke taare chale ga.e

niiñd aa ga.ī to ġham ke nazāre chale ga.e

dil thā kisī kī yaad meñ masrūf aur ham

shīshe meñ zindagī ko utāre chale ga.e

allāh re be-ḳhudī ki ham un ke hī rū-ba-rū

be-iḳhtiyār unhī ko pukāre chale ga.e

mushkil thā kuchh to aish kī baazī kā jītnā

kuchh jītne ke ḳhauf se haare chale ga.e

nākāmī-e-hayāt kā karte bhī kyā gila

do din guzārnā the guzāre chale ga.e

tarġhīb-e-tark-e-shauq ke parde meñ ġham-gusār

har naqsh-e-ārzū ko ubhāre chale ga.e

pahuñchā.ī kis ne dāvat-e-mai ahl-e-zohd ko

shāyad tirī nazar ke ishāre chale ga.e

vo dil harīf-e-jalva-e-firdaus ban gayā

jis dil meñ tere ġham ke sharāre chale ga.e

un ke baġhair ziist ba-har-hāl ziist thī

jaisī guzārnī thī guzāre chale ga.e

jalve kahāñ jo zauq-e-tamāshā nahīñ 'shakīl'

nazreñ chalī ga.iiñ to nazāre chale ga.e

aankhon se dur subh ke tare chale gae

nind aa gai to gham ke nazare chale gae

dil tha kisi ki yaad mein masruf aur hum

shishe mein zindagi ko utare chale gae

allah re be-KHudi ki hum un ke hi ru-ba-ru

be-iKHtiyar unhi ko pukare chale gae

mushkil tha kuchh to aish ki bazi ka jitna

kuchh jitne ke KHauf se haare chale gae

nakaami-e-hayat ka karte bhi kya gila

do din guzarna the guzare chale gae

targhib-e-tark-e-shauq ke parde mein gham-gusar

har naqsh-e-arzu ko ubhaare chale gae

pahunchai kis ne dawat-e-mai ahl-e-zohd ko

shayad teri nazar ke ishaare chale gae

wo dil harif-e-jalwa-e-firdaus ban gaya

jis dil mein tere gham ke sharare chale gae

un ke baghair zist ba-har-haal zist thi

jaisi guzarni thi guzare chale gae

jalwe kahan jo zauq-e-tamasha nahin 'shakil'

nazren chali gain to nazare chale gae
