jab kabhi KHwab-e-wafa se hosh mein aata hai dil

jab kabhī ḳhvāb-e-vafā se hosh meñ aatā hai dil

ḳhud-ba-ḳhud ik yaas ke tūfāñ meñ kho jaatā hai dil

sar-ba-sar afsāna thā apnā junūñ-parvar shabāb

ab vahī bhūlā huā afsāna dohrātā hai dil

ek vo din the ki kho jaatā thā zauq-e-ishq meñ

ab mohabbat ke tasavvur se bhī ghabrātā hai dil

jab ghaTā sāvan kī chhā jaatī hai sehn-e-bāġh par

shola-e-be-tāb kī mānind bal khātā hai dil

be-kasī haa.e mohabbat kī sunā kar dāstāñ

dil ko taḌpātī huuñ maiñ aur mujh ko taḌpātā hai dil

har qadam par ik nayā manzar hai mere sāmne

kah nahīñ saktī kahāñ mujh ko liye jaatā hai dil

bulbul-e-shorīda kā koī nahīñ hai ġham-gusār

yuuñ to har ġhunche ke pahlū meñ nazar aatā hai dil

jab kabhi KHwab-e-wafa se hosh mein aata hai dil

KHud-ba-KHud ek yas ke tufan mein kho jata hai dil

sar-ba-sar afsana tha apna junun-parwar shabab

ab wahi bhula hua afsana dohraata hai dil

ek wo din the ki kho jata tha zauq-e-ishq mein

ab mohabbat ke tasawwur se bhi ghabraata hai dil

jab ghaTa sawan ki chha jati hai sehn-e-bagh par

shola-e-be-tab ki manind bal khata hai dil

be-kasi hae mohabbat ki suna kar dastan

dil ko taDpati hun main aur mujh ko taDpata hai dil

har qadam par ek naya manzar hai mere samne

kah nahin sakti kahan mujh ko liye jata hai dil

bulbul-e-shorida ka koi nahin hai gham-gusar

yun to har ghunche ke pahlu mein nazar aata hai dil
