jab se ek chand ki chahat mein sitara hua hun
jab se ik chāñd kī chāhat meñ sitārā huā huuñ
shahr-e-shab-zād kī āñkhoñ kā sahārā huā huuñ
ai mire dard ke dariyā kī ravānī mujhe dekh
maiñ tire qurb se kaT kaT ke kināra huā huuñ
zindagī! tujh sā munāfiq bhī koī kyā hogā
terā shahkār huuñ aur terā hī maarā huā huuñ
bujh ga.e jab mire sab ḳhvāb o charāġh o mahtāb
shahr-e-zulmat ko maiñ tab jā ke gavārā huā huuñ
sāmne phir mire apne haiñ so maiñ jāntā huuñ
jiit bhī jā.ūñ to ye jañg maiñ haarā huā huuñ
zaḳhm gintā huuñ shab-e-hijr meñ aur sochtā huuñ
maiñ to apnā bhī na thā kaise tumhārā huā huuñ
maiñ payambar huuñ na ho saktā huuñ phir bhī 'ahmad'
aisā lagtā hai sar-e-ḳhāk utārā huā huuñ
jab se ek chand ki chahat mein sitara hua hun
shahr-e-shab-zad ki aankhon ka sahaara hua hun
ai mere dard ke dariya ki rawani mujhe dekh
main tere qurb se kaT kaT ke kinara hua hun
zindagi! tujh sa munafiq bhi koi kya hoga
tera shahkar hun aur tera hi mara hua hun
bujh gae jab mere sab KHwab o charagh o mahtab
shahr-e-zulmat ko main tab ja ke gawara hua hun
samne phir mere apne hain so main jaanta hun
jit bhi jaun to ye jang main haara hua hun
zaKHm ginta hun shab-e-hijr mein aur sochta hun
main to apna bhi na tha kaise tumhaara hua hun
main payambar hun na ho sakta hun phir bhi 'ahmad'
aisa lagta hai sar-e-KHak utara hua hun
