gharon mein sabza chhaton par gul-e-sahab liye

gharoñ meñ sabza chhatoñ par gul-e-sahāb liye

havā.eñ phail ga.iiñ naqsh-o-rañg-e-āb liye

shab-e-siyāh Dhalī sub.h āshkār huī

jabīñ pe zaḳhm liye haath meñ gulāb liye

maiñ ek Dhaltā sā saayā zamīñ ke qadmoñ meñ

tū DhūñDne mujhe niklā hai āftāb liye

guzar gayā koī pahchāntā huā mujh ko

purānī yādoñ kī sham.eñ pas-e-naqāb liye

bikhar ke jaatā kahāñ tak ki maiñ to ḳhushbū thā

havā chalī thī mujhe apne ham-rikāb liye

ubhar rahe haiñ ka.ī haath shab ke parde se

koī sitāra liye koī māhtāb liye

havā.eñ phirtī haiñ rastoñ meñ baal khole hue

ye raat sar pe khaḌī hai koī azaab liye

ajab nahīñ kahīñ ta.abīr koī mil jaa.e

bhaTak rahā huuñ girah meñ hujūm-e-ḳhvāb liye

gharon mein sabza chhaton par gul-e-sahab liye

hawaen phail gain naqsh-o-rang-e-ab liye

shab-e-siyah Dhali subh aashkar hui

jabin pe zaKHm liye hath mein gulab liye

main ek Dhalta sa saya zamin ke qadmon mein

tu DhunDne mujhe nikla hai aaftab liye

guzar gaya koi pahchanta hua mujh ko

purani yaadon ki shamen pas-e-naqab liye

bikhar ke jata kahan tak ki main to KHushbu tha

hawa chali thi mujhe apne ham-rikab liye

ubhar rahe hain kai hath shab ke parde se

koi sitara liye koi mahtab liye

hawaen phirti hain raston mein baal khole hue

ye raat sar pe khaDi hai koi azab liye

ajab nahin kahin tabir koi mil jae

bhaTak raha hun girah mein hujum-e-KHwab liye
