ghurub-e-mehr ka matam hai gulistanon mein
ġhurūb-e-mehr kā mātam hai gulistānoñ meñ
nasīm-e-sub.h bhī shāmil hai nauha-ḳhvānoñ meñ
jahāñ the raqs-e-tarab meñ kabhī dar-o-dīvār
balā.eñ naach rahī haiñ ab un makānoñ meñ
añdherī raat bhayānak khañDar muhīb fazā
bhaTak rahā huuñ ajal ke siyāh-ḳhānoñ meñ
ye aamad āmad-e-tūfān-e-shab ḳhudā kī panāh
tuyūr-e-shām simaT jaa.eñ āshiyānoñ meñ
ye saa.eñ saa.eñ kī āvāz hai ki maut kī huuk
jo gūñjtī hai shayātīn ke tarānoñ meñ
nadīm-e-shab koī afsāna-e-fusūn-o-tilism
ki zindagī kī jhalak hai inhīñ fasānoñ meñ
nahīñ hai shahr-e-vafā kī tabāhiyoñ kā gilā
magar vo log jo rahte the in makānoñ meñ
ajiib thiiñ ye ġharīboñ kī bastiyāñ lekin
ġharīb rah na sake in ġharīb-ḳhānoñ meñ
hamārī gard-e-safar bhī na ab mile shāyad
'ra.īs' ahl-e-tamannā ke kārvānoñ meñ
ghurub-e-mehr ka matam hai gulistanon mein
nasim-e-subh bhi shamil hai nauha-KHwanon mein
jahan the raqs-e-tarab mein kabhi dar-o-diwar
balaen nach rahi hain ab un makanon mein
andheri raat bhayanak khanDar muhib faza
bhaTak raha hun ajal ke siyah-KHanon mein
ye aamad aamad-e-tufan-e-shab KHuda ki panah
tuyur-e-sham simaT jaen aashiyanon mein
ye saen saen ki aawaz hai ki maut ki huk
jo gunjti hai shayatin ke taranon mein
nadim-e-shab koi afsana-e-fusun-o-tilism
ki zindagi ki jhalak hai inhin fasanon mein
nahin hai shahr-e-wafa ki tabahiyon ka gila
magar wo log jo rahte the in makanon mein
ajib thin ye gharibon ki bastiyan lekin
gharib rah na sake in gharib-KHanon mein
hamari gard-e-safar bhi na ab mile shayad
'rais' ahl-e-tamanna ke karwanon mein
