chand mohmal si lakiren hi sahi ifsha rahun
chand mohmal sī lakīreñ hī sahī ifshā rahūñ
nok-e-ḳhāma par ba-rañg-e-raushnā.ī kyā rahūñ
koī shāyad aa hī jaa.e rāsta taktā rahūñ
ek sañg-e-mīl ban jā.ūñ ba-chashm-e-vā rahūñ
khaa.ī se sab ko bachā luuñ maiñ na kuchlā jā.ūñ to
ban ke ḳhatre kā nishāñ raste meñ istāda rahūñ
dasht-e-tanhā.ī meñ yādoñ ke darindoñ se Darūñ
bach-bachā ke bhiiḌ meñ aa.uuñ to phir tanhā rahūñ
zarre zarre meñ bikhar jaanā hai takmīl-e-hayāt
mujh ko ye zebā nahīñ ab zaat meñ simTā rahūñ
apnī āvāzeñ hī jab bār-e-samā.at haiñ 'zahīr'
chīḳhte gumbad meñ behtar hai ki maiñ gūñgā rahūñ
chand mohmal si lakiren hi sahi ifsha rahun
nok-e-KHama par ba-rang-e-raushnai kya rahun
koi shayad aa hi jae rasta takta rahun
ek sang-e-mil ban jaun ba-chashm-e-wa rahun
khai se sab ko bacha lun main na kuchla jaun to
ban ke KHatre ka nishan raste mein istada rahun
dasht-e-tanhai mein yaadon ke darindon se Darun
bach-bacha ke bhiD mein aaun to phir tanha rahun
zarre zarre mein bikhar jaana hai takmil-e-hayat
mujh ko ye zeba nahin ab zat mein simTa rahun
apni aawazen hi jab bar-e-samaat hain 'zahir'
chiKHte gumbad mein behtar hai ki main gunga rahun
