mahakti aankhon mein socha tha KHwab utrenge
mahaktī āñkhoñ meñ sochā thā ḳhvāb utreñge
patā na thā ki yahāñ bhī azaab utreñge
fareb khā.egī har baar merī tishna-labī
badan ke dasht pe jab jab sarāb utreñge
mirī lahad pe na raushan kare charāġh koī
ye vo jagah hai jahāñ āftāb utreñge
safed-poshoñ kī kab tak chhupeñgī kartūteñ
ki dhīre dhīre sabhī ke naqāb utreñge
nazar jamā.e haiñ dahlīz-e-intizār pe ham
farāz-e-ka.aba se izzat-ma.āb utreñge
gunāh lagtī hai ulfat tumheñ to lagne do
ye vo gunāh hai jis par savāb utreñge
tamām hogī tabhī to kitāb-e-zīst 'razā'
ġham-e-hayāt ke jab intisāb utreñge
mahakti aankhon mein socha tha KHwab utrenge
pata na tha ki yahan bhi azab utrenge
fareb khaegi har bar meri tishna-labi
badan ke dasht pe jab jab sarab utrenge
meri lahad pe na raushan kare charagh koi
ye wo jagah hai jahan aaftab utrenge
safed-poshon ki kab tak chhupengi kartuten
ki dhire dhire sabhi ke naqab utrenge
nazar jamae hain dahliz-e-intizar pe hum
faraaz-e-kaba se izzat-maab utrenge
gunah lagti hai ulfat tumhein to lagne do
ye wo gunah hai jis par sawab utrenge
tamam hogi tabhi to kitab-e-zist 'raza'
gham-e-hayat ke jab intisab utrenge
