jaane in aankhon ne us dasht mein dekha kya kya

jaane in āñkhoñ ne us dasht meñ dekhā kyā kyā

mere siine meñ koī shor uThā thā kyā kyā

aaj tak parda-e-ta.abīr se bāhar na milā

aur hotā hai shab-o-roz tamāshā kyā kyā

shabnam-āsār bhalā chain se baiThā kab huuñ

ḳhud ko phailātā rahā aañkh meñ sahrā kyā kyā

haañ vahī rañg jo tartīb na paayā mujh meñ

apnī āñkhoñ meñ vo kartā rahā gahrā kyā kyā

ḳhuub hote hī rahe sab ḳhush-o-nā-ḳhush mujh meñ

mujh se sharminda rahā zaḳhm-o-mudāvā kyā kyā

haath pairoñ meñ kisī shauq kī halchal thī bahut

dekhtā hī rahā maiñ jānib-e-sahrā kyā kyā

us kī be-mehrī kā shikva nahīñ hogā mujh se

maiñ bhī rakhtā thā kabhī dil meñ irāda kyā kyā

duur rahtā hai magar jumbish-e-lab bos-o-kanār

Dūbtā rahtā hai dariyā meñ kinārā kyā kyā

jaane in aankhon ne us dasht mein dekha kya kya

mere sine mein koi shor uTha tha kya kya

aaj tak parda-e-tabir se bahar na mila

aur hota hai shab-o-roz tamasha kya kya

shabnam-asar bhala chain se baiTha kab hun

KHud ko phailata raha aankh mein sahra kya kya

han wahi rang jo tartib na paya mujh mein

apni aankhon mein wo karta raha gahra kya kya

KHub hote hi rahe sab KHush-o-na-KHush mujh mein

mujh se sharminda raha zaKHm-o-mudawa kya kya

hath pairon mein kisi shauq ki halchal thi bahut

dekhta hi raha main jaanib-e-sahra kya kya

us ki be-mehri ka shikwa nahin hoga mujh se

main bhi rakhta tha kabhi dil mein irada kya kya

dur rahta hai magar jumbish-e-lab bos-o-kanar

Dubta rahta hai dariya mein kinara kya kya
