KHayal tha ki guman ko yaqin bana dunga

ḳhayāl thā ki gumāñ ko yaqīñ banā dūñgā

aur ab ye ḳhvāb likhūñgā bhī to miTā dūñgā

mujhe bhī saath hī le lo magar nahīñ yaaro

maiñ sust-rau huuñ tumhārī thakan baḌhā dūñgā

havā-e-shab mire sho.ale se intiqām na le

ki maiñ bujhā to ufuq tak dhoveñ uḌā dūñgā

baḌe shabāb se aa.egā sail-e-rañg ab ke

phir is meñ maiñ bhī to ik jū-e-ḳhūñ milā dūñgā

chalo ḳhamosh huā maiñ ab is sukūt ke ba.ad

na shab ko tuul na ham-sā.e ko sadā dūñgā

KHayal tha ki guman ko yaqin bana dunga

aur ab ye KHwab likhunga bhi to miTa dunga

mujhe bhi sath hi le lo magar nahin yaro

main sust-rau hun tumhaari thakan baDha dunga

hawa-e-shab mere shoale se intiqam na le

ki main bujha to ufuq tak dhowen uDa dunga

baDe shabab se aaega sail-e-rang ab ke

phir is mein main bhi to ek ju-e-KHun mila dunga

chalo KHamosh hua main ab is sukut ke baad

na shab ko tul na ham-sae ko sada dunga
