hota raha firaq mein laghar tamam raat

hotā rahā firāq meñ lāġhar tamām raat

hāthoñ se uTh sakā bhī na sāġhar tamām raat

badlīñ shab-e-firāq meñ kuchh itnī karvaTeñ

aa.e haiñ yaad des ke machchhar tamām raat

baḌhne do soz-e-ishq meñ ye dil kī dhaḌkaneñ

jalte raheñ ye aag ke heater tamām raat

vo bāñdhte rahe maiñ use kholtā rahā

bichh hī sakā na Dhañg se bistar tamām raat

kashmīr ke havāle se ḳhvāb-o-ḳhayāl meñ

ugte rahe haiñ sarv-o-sanobar tamām raat

'bulbul' kisī hasīn pe yuuñ dil machal gayā

nāchā ho jaise sahn meñ bandar tamām raat

hota raha firaq mein laghar tamam raat

hathon se uTh saka bhi na saghar tamam raat

badlin shab-e-firaq mein kuchh itni karwaTen

aae hain yaad des ke machchhar tamam raat

baDhne do soz-e-ishq mein ye dil ki dhaDkanen

jalte rahen ye aag ke heater tamam raat

wo bandhte rahe main use kholta raha

bichh hi saka na Dhang se bistar tamam raat

kashmir ke hawale se KHwab-o-KHayal mein

ugte rahe hain sarw-o-sanobar tamam raat

'bulbul' kisi hasin pe yun dil machal gaya

nacha ho jaise sahn mein bandar tamam raat
