kanar-e-barg-e-tabassum larazta qatra hai

kanār-e-barg-e-tabassum laraztā qatra hai

zamīñ kī kokh meñ laavā pighaltā rahtā hai

sulag rahī haiñ dil-o-jāñ kī kā.enāteñ aur

laboñ kī oT meñ sho.ala chhupā.e rakkhā hai

habāb sī kisī saa.at meñ tujh se milne ko

ka.ī yugoñ kā mujhe intizār karnā hai

tire firāq meñ badle haiñ aise kaun-o-makāñ

udaas raat meñ ik dopahar bhī zinda hai

zabāñ pe shorish-e-harf-e-shikāyat-e-jānāñ

ināyatoñ kā tah-e-dil meñ shor barpā hai

ufuq ke baam bhī haiñ dam-ba-ḳhud tirī ḳhātir

tirī talāsh meñ bikhrā huā ye sahrā hai

ulajh rahī hai abas mauj-e-ḳhūn sāhil se

har ek harf-e-tamannā sadā-ba-sahrā hai

Dubo ke aa gayā maiñ apnī har sadā lekin

mire vajūd meñ ye kis kī chīḳh zinda hai

kanar-e-barg-e-tabassum larazta qatra hai

zamin ki kokh mein lawa pighalta rahta hai

sulag rahi hain dil-o-jaan ki kaenaten aur

labon ki oT mein shoala chhupae rakkha hai

habab si kisi saat mein tujh se milne ko

kai yugon ka mujhe intizar karna hai

tere firaq mein badle hain aise kaun-o-makan

udas raat mein ek dopahar bhi zinda hai

zaban pe shorish-e-harf-e-shikayat-e-jaanan

inayaton ka tah-e-dil mein shor barpa hai

ufuq ke baam bhi hain dam-ba-KHud teri KHatir

teri talash mein bikhra hua ye sahra hai

ulajh rahi hai abas mauj-e-KHun sahil se

har ek harf-e-tamanna sada-ba-sahra hai

Dubo ke aa gaya main apni har sada lekin

mere wajud mein ye kis ki chiKH zinda hai
