chandni ke hath bhi jab ho gae shal raat ko
chāñdnī ke haath bhī jab ho ga.e shal raat ko
apne siine par sambhālā maiñ ne bojhal raat ko
raat bhar chhāyā rahā ghar kī fazā par ik hirās
dastakeñ detā thā dar par koī pāgal raat ko
chāñdnī meñ ghul gayā jab dil kī māyūsī kā zahr
maiñ ne ḳhud kafnā diyā sāyoñ meñ komal raat ko
karb ke laave ubalte the sukūñ ke ās-pās
uf vo nīñdeñ vo girāñ-ḳhvābī kī daldal raat ko
aaj phir dhuñdlā ga.ī 'aḳhtar' mirī shām-e-firāq
sochtā huuñ aaj phir barseñge bādal raat ko
chandni ke hath bhi jab ho gae shal raat ko
apne sine par sambhaala main ne bojhal raat ko
raat bhar chhaya raha ghar ki faza par ek hiras
dastaken deta tha dar par koi pagal raat ko
chandni mein ghul gaya jab dil ki mayusi ka zahr
main ne KHud kafna diya sayon mein komal raat ko
karb ke lawe ubalte the sukun ke aas-pas
uf wo ninden wo giran-KHwabi ki daldal raat ko
aaj phir dhundla gai 'aKHtar' meri sham-e-firaq
sochta hun aaj phir barsenge baadal raat ko
