ek barg barg din ki KHabar chahiye mujhe

ik barg barg din kī ḳhabar chāhiye mujhe

maiñ shāḳh-e-shab-zada huuñ sahar chāhiye mujhe

merī talab dahakte alaav na the kabhī

ambār-e-ḳhas huuñ ek sharar chāhiye mujhe

kab tak sulagtī ret pe behis paḌā rahūñ

is gul-zamīñ kī samt safar chāhiye mujhe

sau baar jism-o-jāñ ko banānā paḌā savāl

is tajribe se ab to hazar chāhiye mujhe

vo rabt-e-dostī jise pā.inda kah sakeñ

miltī nahīñ ye chiiz magar chāhiye mujhe

mazmūn-e-āgahī huuñ bayāñ chāhtā huuñ maiñ

afsūn-e-be-asar huuñ asar chāhiye mujhe

ek barg barg din ki KHabar chahiye mujhe

main shaKH-e-shab-zada hun sahar chahiye mujhe

meri talab dahakte alaw na the kabhi

ambar-e-KHas hun ek sharar chahiye mujhe

kab tak sulagti ret pe behis paDa rahun

is gul-zamin ki samt safar chahiye mujhe

sau bar jism-o-jaan ko banana paDa sawal

is tajribe se ab to hazar chahiye mujhe

wo rabt-e-dosti jise painda kah saken

milti nahin ye chiz magar chahiye mujhe

mazmun-e-agahi hun bayan chahta hun main

afsun-e-be-asar hun asar chahiye mujhe
