jo tu nahin to mausam-e-malal bhi na aaega

jo tū nahīñ to mausam-e-malāl bhī na aa.egā

ga.e dinoñ ke baad ahd-e-hāl bhī na aa.egā

mirī suḳhan-sarā.iyoñ kā e'tibār to nahīñ

jo tū nahīñ to hijr kā savāl bhī na aa.egā

agar vo aaj raat hadd-e-iltifāt toḌ de

kabhī phir us se pyaar kā ḳhayāl bhī na aa.egā

shab-e-visāl hai bisāt-e-hijr hī ulaT ga.ī

to phir kabhī ḳhayāl-e-māh-o-sāl bhī na aa.egā

milegā kyā tilism-e-zāt kā hisār toḌ kar

ki is ke baad shahr-e-be-misāl bhī na aa.egā

jo tu nahin to mausam-e-malal bhi na aaega

gae dinon ke baad ahd-e-haal bhi na aaega

meri suKHan-saraiyon ka e'tibar to nahin

jo tu nahin to hijr ka sawal bhi na aaega

agar wo aaj raat hadd-e-iltifat toD de

kabhi phir us se pyar ka KHayal bhi na aaega

shab-e-visal hai bisat-e-hijr hi ulaT gai

to phir kabhi KHayal-e-mah-o-sal bhi na aaega

milega kya tilism-e-zat ka hisar toD kar

ki is ke baad shahr-e-be-misal bhi na aaega
