ab shab-e-gham agar nahin na sahi
ab shab-e-ġham agar nahīñ na sahī
dāman-e-barg tar nahīñ na sahī
zinda-dārān-e-shab ko merī tarah
intizār-e-sahar nahīñ na sahī
dasht-paimā ke ās-pās agar
koī dīvār-o-dar nahīñ na sahī
aam hai justujū-e-jahl-e-ḳhirad
shahr meñ dīda-var nahīñ na sahī
haiñ farishte azal se tang-nazar
aadmī mo'atabar nahīñ na sahī
dil dhaḌakte hoñ saath saath agar
yaad pesh-e-nazar nahīñ na sahī
har-nafas ek tāziyāna hai
aah meñ kuchh asar nahīñ na sahī
maut hai mustaqil ta.āqub meñ
zindagī ḳhud-nigar nahīñ na sahī
sar uThā kar zamīñ pe chaltā huuñ
sar chhupāne ko ghar nahīñ na sahī
peḌ paudoñ kī kuchh kamī to nahīñ
ek sūkhā shajar nahīñ na sahī
ab shab-e-gham agar nahin na sahi
daman-e-barg tar nahin na sahi
zinda-daran-e-shab ko meri tarah
intizar-e-sahar nahin na sahi
dasht-paima ke aas-pas agar
koi diwar-o-dar nahin na sahi
aam hai justuju-e-jahl-e-KHirad
shahr mein dida-war nahin na sahi
hain farishte azal se tang-nazar
aadmi mo'atabar nahin na sahi
dil dhaDakte hon sath sath agar
yaad pesh-e-nazar nahin na sahi
har-nafas ek taziyana hai
aah mein kuchh asar nahin na sahi
maut hai mustaqil taaqub mein
zindagi KHud-nigar nahin na sahi
sar uTha kar zamin pe chalta hun
sar chhupane ko ghar nahin na sahi
peD paudon ki kuchh kami to nahin
ek sukha shajar nahin na sahi
