hamari jagti aankhon mein KHwab sa kya tha
hamārī jāgtī āñkhoñ meñ ḳhvāb sā kyā thā
ghanerī shab meñ ugā āftāb sā kyā thā
kahīñ huī to thī halchal kahīñ pe gahre meñ
bigaḌ bigaḌ ke vo bantā habāb sā kyā thā
tamām jism meñ hotī haiñ larzisheñ kyā kyā
savād-e-jāñ meñ ye bajtā rabāb sā kyā thā
hamārī pyaas pe barsā añdhere ujiyāle
vo kuchh ghaTāoñ sā kuchh māhtāb sā kyā thā
zarā sī der bhī ruktā to kuchh patā chaltā
vo rang thā ki thī ḳhushbū sahāb sā kyā thā
ye tishnagī kā safar kaT gayā hai jis ke tufail
vo dasht dasht chhalaktā sarāb sā kyā thā
tamām 'umr khapāyā hai jis meñ sar 'bilqīs'
bhalā vo be-sar-o-pā sī kitāb sā kyā thā
hamari jagti aankhon mein KHwab sa kya tha
ghaneri shab mein uga aaftab sa kya tha
kahin hui to thi halchal kahin pe gahre mein
bigaD bigaD ke wo banta habab sa kya tha
tamam jism mein hoti hain larzishen kya kya
sawad-e-jaan mein ye bajta rabab sa kya tha
hamari pyas pe barsa andhere ujiyale
wo kuchh ghaTaon sa kuchh mahtab sa kya tha
zara si der bhi rukta to kuchh pata chalta
wo rang tha ki thi KHushbu sahab sa kya tha
ye tishnagi ka safar kaT gaya hai jis ke tufail
wo dasht dasht chhalakta sarab sa kya tha
tamam 'umr khapaya hai jis mein sar 'bilqis'
bhala wo be-sar-o-pa si kitab sa kya tha
