dabe jo aag to dil se dhuan sa uThta hai

dabe jo aag to dil se dhuāñ sā uThtā hai

makāñ ke parde se ik lā-makāñ sā uThtā hai

nazar jo Thahre koī dam tire sarāpe meñ

to añg añg se ik kārvāñ sā uThtā hai

lahū kā cell ho yā zamzama ho jo kuchh ho

hamāre dil se har ik be-karāñ sā uThtā hai

ye terī bazm kī azmat ye us kī vīrānī

ki yaañ se jo bhī uThe ik jahāñ sā uThtā hai

hamārī shaam kī saa.at kī lazzat-e-be-nām

ki jur.e jur.e se taḳht-e-ravāñ sā uThtā hai

na pūchh tishnagī us shaḳhs kī jo ba.ad-e-visāl

kisī ke pahlū se yuuñ kāmrāñ sā uThtā hai

karishma joshish-e-hasrat kā dekhiye har-sū

ki shāḳh shāḳh se ik āshiyāñ sā uThtā hai

dabe jo aag to dil se dhuan sa uThta hai

makan ke parde se ek la-makan sa uThta hai

nazar jo Thahre koi dam tere sarape mein

to ang ang se ek karwan sa uThta hai

lahu ka cell ho ya zamzama ho jo kuchh ho

hamare dil se har ek be-karan sa uThta hai

ye teri bazm ki azmat ye us ki virani

ki yan se jo bhi uThe ek jahan sa uThta hai

hamari sham ki saat ki lazzat-e-be-nam

ki jure jure se taKHt-e-rawan sa uThta hai

na puchh tishnagi us shaKHs ki jo baad-e-visal

kisi ke pahlu se yun kaamran sa uThta hai

karishma joshish-e-hasrat ka dekhiye har-su

ki shaKH shaKH se ek aashiyan sa uThta hai
