chand nikle na kahin yar purane nikle

chāñd nikle na kahīñ yaar purāne nikle

koī kambaḳht mirā dil to jalāne nikle

ġham-e-nāzuk ko tabassum ne kiyā parda-nashīñ

ashk dushman kī tarah raaz batāne nikle

maiñ to bas sard havā khāne ko chhat par aayā

vo bhī sūkhe hue kapḌoñ ko uThāne nikle

us kā ġham thā ki mire dil pe sulaimāñ kī mohr

ashk nikle ki ye motī ke ḳhazāne nikle

mujh pe sahrā meñ bhī ik sañg kisī ne pheñkā

mere aage to ye majzūb siyāne nikle

daur-e-hāzir ke suḳhan-sāz haiñ kis ujlat meñ

sub.h dīvān kahā shaam chhapāne nikle

phir se betāb hai us chāñd kā paara paara

haa.e vo chāñd to uñglī ko nachāne nikle

mushk-e-nepal ne aalam se mashā.iḳh khīñche

khodī miTTī to ka.ī dafan ḳhazāne nikle

terī galiyoñ kā patā mushk se mālūm kiyā

phir usī or ka.ī bigḌī banāne nikle

chand nikle na kahin yar purane nikle

koi kambaKHt mera dil to jalane nikle

gham-e-nazuk ko tabassum ne kiya parda-nashin

ashk dushman ki tarah raaz batane nikle

main to bas sard hawa khane ko chhat par aaya

wo bhi sukhe hue kapDon ko uThane nikle

us ka gham tha ki mere dil pe sulaiman ki mohr

ashk nikle ki ye moti ke KHazane nikle

mujh pe sahra mein bhi ek sang kisi ne phenka

mere aage to ye majzub siyane nikle

daur-e-hazir ke suKHan-saz hain kis ujlat mein

subh diwan kaha sham chhapane nikle

phir se betab hai us chand ka para para

hae wo chand to ungli ko nachane nikle

mushk-e-nepal ne aalam se mashaiKH khinche

khodi miTTi to kai dafan KHazane nikle

teri galiyon ka pata mushk se malum kiya

phir usi or kai bigDi banane nikle
