bas ek shua-e-nur se saya simaT gaya
bas ik shuā-e-nūr se saaya simaT gayā
vo paas aa rahā thā ki maiñ duur haT gayā
phir darmiyān-e-aql-o-junūñ jañg chhiḌ ga.ī
phir majma-e-ḳhavāas girohoñ meñ baT gayā
kyā ab bhī terī ḳhātir-e-nāzuk pe baar huuñ
patthar nahīñ ki maiñ tire raste se haT gayā
yā itnā saḳht-jān ki talvār be-asar
yā itnā narm-dil ki rag-e-gul se kaT gayā
vo lamha-e-shu.ūr jise jāñ-kanī kaheñ
chehre se zindagī kī naqābeñ ulaT gayā
ab kaun jaa.e kū-e-malāmat se lauT kar
qadmoñ se aa ke apnā hī saaya lipaT gayā
āḳhir 'shakeb' ḳhū-e-sitam us ne chhoḌ dī
zauq-e-safar ko dekh ke sahrā simaT gayā
bas ek shua-e-nur se saya simaT gaya
wo pas aa raha tha ki main dur haT gaya
phir darmiyan-e-aql-o-junun jang chhiD gai
phir majma-e-KHawaas girohon mein baT gaya
kya ab bhi teri KHatir-e-nazuk pe bar hun
patthar nahin ki main tere raste se haT gaya
ya itna saKHt-jaan ki talwar be-asar
ya itna narm-dil ki rag-e-gul se kaT gaya
wo lamha-e-shuur jise jaan-kani kahen
chehre se zindagi ki naqaben ulaT gaya
ab kaun jae ku-e-malamat se lauT kar
qadmon se aa ke apna hi saya lipaT gaya
aaKHir 'shakeb' KHu-e-sitam us ne chhoD di
zauq-e-safar ko dekh ke sahra simaT gaya
