jab teri chah mein daman-e-junun chaak hua

jab tirī chaah meñ dāmān-e-junūñ chaak huā

phir kahīñ jā ke mujhe ishq kā idrāk huā

yuuñ to ik jaise nazar aate haiñ chehre lekin

koī ḳhush-ḳhvāb huā aur koī ġhamnāk huā

varaq-jāñ pe likhe maiñ ne sahīfe dil ke

is havāle se bhī maiñ sho.ala-e-be-bāk huā

koī mar ke bhī zamāne meñ amar hotā hai

aur koī jiite hue bhī jasad-e-ḳhāk huā

jis kī lahroñ se janam lete haiñ sandal se badan

us samundar kā ba-sad shauq maiñ pairāk huā

ai 'ḳhayāl' ā.ina-e-husn-e-mujassam kī qasam

ḳhaak par baiTh ke maiñ sāhab-e-aflāk huā

jab teri chah mein daman-e-junun chaak hua

phir kahin ja ke mujhe ishq ka idrak hua

yun to ek jaise nazar aate hain chehre lekin

koi KHush-KHwab hua aur koi ghamnak hua

waraq-jaan pe likhe main ne sahife dil ke

is hawale se bhi main shoala-e-be-bak hua

koi mar ke bhi zamane mein amar hota hai

aur koi jite hue bhi jasad-e-KHak hua

jis ki lahron se janam lete hain sandal se badan

us samundar ka ba-sad shauq main pairak hua

ai 'KHayal' aaina-e-husn-e-mujassam ki qasam

KHak par baiTh ke main sahab-e-aflak hua
