khoe hue sahra tak ai baad-e-saba jaana

kho.e hue sahrā tak ai bād-e-sabā jaanā

vo ḳhāk-e-junūñ merī āñkhoñ se lagā jaanā

ab tak koī chingārī rah rah ke chamaktī hai

ai qāfila-e-fardā ye raakh uḌā jaanā

hai dasht-e-tamannā meñ ab shaam kā sannāTā

haañ tez qadam rakhte ai ahl-e-vafā jaanā

ham niiñd kī chādar meñ lipTe hue chalte haiñ

is bhes meñ ab ham se milnā ho to aa jaanā

āfāq kī sarhad par saa.e se gurezāñ haiñ

in soḳhta-jānoñ ko us paar na thā jaanā

tum duur safar kar ke nazdīk se lagte ho

ab paas bahut aa ke ham ko na jagā jaanā

kyā us se shikāyat ho jis shoḳh kī 'ādat ho

kuchh baat dabā lenā kuchh aañkh churā jaanā

ham zikr-e-gul-o-bulbul karte hue Darte haiñ

ab siikh gayā hai vo har baat kā pā jaanā

khoe hue sahra tak ai baad-e-saba jaana

wo KHak-e-junun meri aankhon se laga jaana

ab tak koi chingari rah rah ke chamakti hai

ai qafila-e-farda ye rakh uDa jaana

hai dasht-e-tamanna mein ab sham ka sannaTa

han tez qadam rakhte ai ahl-e-wafa jaana

hum nind ki chadar mein lipTe hue chalte hain

is bhes mein ab hum se milna ho to aa jaana

aafaq ki sarhad par sae se gurezan hain

in soKHta-jaanon ko us par na tha jaana

tum dur safar kar ke nazdik se lagte ho

ab pas bahut aa ke hum ko na jaga jaana

kya us se shikayat ho jis shoKH ki 'adat ho

kuchh baat daba lena kuchh aankh chura jaana

hum zikr-e-gul-o-bulbul karte hue Darte hain

ab sikh gaya hai wo har baat ka pa jaana
