kuchh kiyā jaa.e charāġhoñ ko bujhāyā jaa.e

bhūlnā ḳhud ko to āsāñ hai bhulā baiThā huuñ

vo sitamgar jo na bhūle se bhulāyā jaa.e

jis ke baa.is haiñ ye chehre kī lakīreñ maġhmūm

ġhair-mumkin hai ki manzar vo dikhāyā jaa.e

shaam ḳhāmosh hai aur chāñd nikal aayā hai

zaḳhm hañste haiñ to ye fasl-e-bahār aatī hai

haañ isī baat pe phir zaḳhm lagāyā jaa.e

koi hangama sar-e-bazm uThaya jae

kuchh kiya jae charaghon ko bujhaya jae

bhulna KHud ko to aasan hai bhula baiTha hun

wo sitamgar jo na bhule se bhulaya jae

jis ke bais hain ye chehre ki lakiren maghmum

ghair-mumkin hai ki manzar wo dikhaya jae

sham KHamosh hai aur chand nikal aaya hai

kyun na ek naqsh hi pani pe banaya jae

zaKHm hanste hain to ye fasl-e-bahaar aati hai

han isi baat pe phir zaKHm lagaya jae
