kahin se koi harf-e-motabar shayad na aae

kahīñ se koī harf-e-mo'tabar shāyad na aa.e

musāfir lauT kar ab apne ghar shāyad na aa.e

qafas meñ āb-o-dāne kī farāvānī bahut hai

asīroñ ko ḳhayāl-e-bāl-o-par shāyad na aa.e

kise mālūm ahl-e-hijr par aise bhī din aa.eñ

qayāmat sar se guzre aur ḳhabar shāyad na aa.e

jahāñ rātoñ ko paḌ rahte hoñ āñkheñ muuñd kar log

vahāñ mahtāb meñ chehra nazar shāyad na aa.e

kabhī aisā bhī din nikle ki jab sūraj ke hamrāh

koī sāhib-nazar aa.e magar shāyad na aa.e

sabhī ko sahl-añgārī hunar lagne lagī hai

saroñ par ab ġhubār-e-rahguzar shāyad na aa.e

kahin se koi harf-e-mo'tabar shayad na aae

musafir lauT kar ab apne ghar shayad na aae

qafas mein aab-o-dane ki farawani bahut hai

asiron ko KHayal-e-baal-o-par shayad na aae

kise malum ahl-e-hijr par aise bhi din aaen

qayamat sar se guzre aur KHabar shayad na aae

jahan raaton ko paD rahte hon aankhen mund kar log

wahan mahtab mein chehra nazar shayad na aae

kabhi aisa bhi din nikle ki jab suraj ke hamrah

koi sahib-nazar aae magar shayad na aae

sabhi ko sahl-angari hunar lagne lagi hai

saron par ab ghubar-e-rahguzar shayad na aae
