gulab chandni-raaton pe war aae hum

gulāb chāñdnī-rātoñ pe vaar aa.e ham

tumhāre hoñToñ kā sadqa utaar aa.e ham

vo ek jhiil thī shaffāf niil paanī kī

aur us meñ Duub ko ḳhud ko nikhār aa.e ham

tire hī lams se un kā ḳhirāj mumkin hai

tire baġhair jo umreñ guzār aa.e ham

phir us galī se guzarnā paḌā tirī ḳhātir

phir us galī se bahut be-qarār aa.e ham

ye kyā sitam hai ki is nashsha-e-mohabbat meñ

tire sivā bhī kisī ko pukār aa.e ham

gulab chandni-raaton pe war aae hum

tumhaare honTon ka sadqa utar aae hum

wo ek jhil thi shaffaf nil pani ki

aur us mein Dub ko KHud ko nikhaar aae hum

tere hi lams se un ka KHiraj mumkin hai

tere baghair jo umren guzar aae hum

phir us gali se guzarna paDa teri KHatir

phir us gali se bahut be-qarar aae hum

ye kya sitam hai ki is nashsha-e-mohabbat mein

tere siwa bhi kisi ko pukar aae hum
