hijr ka chand dard ki naddi

hijr kā chāñd dard kī naddī

yahī sūrat hai apnī duniyā kī

regzāroñ meñ sañg khilte haiñ

jaise bāġhoñ meñ shāḳh shāḳh kalī

merā ghar hai ki 'mīr'-sāhib kā

uf ye hoñToñ pe talḳh talḳh hañsī

aa gayā mausam-e-zamistāñ kyā

aag kī justujū meñ raat kaTī

kū-ba-kū dar-ba-dar bhaTakte hue

dekh lī aaj maut kī bhī galī

qufl hoñToñ kā TuuT kar hī rahā

dil-e-afsurda raat biit chalī

ek chaltī huī ġhazal par raat

'rāhī'-e-ġham-zada ne nazm kahī

hijr ka chand dard ki naddi

yahi surat hai apni duniya ki

regzaron mein sang khilte hain

jaise baghon mein shaKH shaKH kali

mera ghar hai ki 'mir'-sahib ka

uf ye honTon pe talKH talKH hansi

aa gaya mausam-e-zamistan kya

aag ki justuju mein raat kaTi

ku-ba-ku dar-ba-dar bhaTakte hue

dekh li aaj maut ki bhi gali

qufl honTon ka TuT kar hi raha

dil-e-afsurda raat bit chali

ek chalti hui ghazal par raat

'rahi'-e-gham-zada ne nazm kahi
