dhanak meñ sar the tirī shaal ke churā.e hue
maiñ surma.ī thā sar-e-shām gungunā.e hue
samay kī lahar tire bāzuoñ meñ le aa.ī

sahar kī guuñj se āvāza-e-jamāl huā
so jāgtā rahā atrāf ko jagā.e hue
thā baaġh baaġh shuā-e-safed se shab bhar
gulāb-e-abyaz-e-ruḳh thā jhalak dikhā.e hue
ḳhumār-e-qurmuzī se ātishīñ thā sāġhar-e-ḳhvāb
bharā thā muñh tire jāmun se baada laa.e hue
anaar phūTte the niiñd ke samundar meñ

dikhā rahā thā mire pāniyoñ se shahr-e-visāl
koī charāġh sā andar thā jhilmilā.e hue
havā ke jhoñkoñ meñ jā kar use maiñ pī aayā
rahā vo der talak jām-e-mai banā.e hue
ye terī merī judā.ī kā naqsh hai bādal
baras rahā hai ba-yak-vaqt vaañ bhī chhā.e hue
mutābaqat se rahā tab.a ke alaav ko
kahīñ jalā.e hue aur kahīñ bujhā.e hue
hinā.ī haath se lag kar sajī kuchh aur 'naved'
mirī añgūThī thā arse se vo gumā.e hue
dhanak mein sar the teri shaal ke churae hue
main surmai tha sar-e-sham gungunae hue
samay ki lahar tere bazuon mein le aai
hawa mein bahr teri sans mein samae hue
tamaniyat se uThana muhaal tha mashal
main dekhne laga tha us ko sar jhukae hue
sahar ki gunj se aawaza-e-jamal hua
so jagta raha atraf ko jagae hue
tha bagh bagh shua-e-safed se shab bhar
gulab-e-abyaz-e-ruKH tha jhalak dikhae hue
KHumar-e-qurmuzi se aatishin tha saghar-e-KHwab
bhara tha munh tere jamun se baada lae hue
anar phuTte the nind ke samundar mein
wo dekhta tha mujhe phuljhaDi lagae hue
dikha raha tha mere paniyon se shahr-e-visal
koi charagh sa andar tha jhilmilae hue
hawa ke jhonkon mein ja kar use main pi aaya
raha wo der talak jam-e-mai banae hue
ye teri meri judai ka naqsh hai baadal
baras raha hai ba-yak-waqt wan bhi chhae hue
mutabaqat se raha taba ke alaw ko
kahin jalae hue aur kahin bujhae hue
hinai hath se lag kar saji kuchh aur 'nawed'
meri anguThi tha arse se wo gumae hue
