main gham ki kahani sunata rahunga

maiñ ġham kī kahānī sunātā rahūñgā

tumheñ haal dil kā batātā rahūñgā

jahāñ dekh kar mujh ko tum hañs paḌoge

vahīñ par maiñ aañsū bahātā rahūñgā

nigāheñ milā.eñ ki vo duur jaa.eñ

shu'ūr-e-tamanna jagātā rahūñgā

jafāoñ kī pur-pech rāhoñ meñ har dam

vafā kā ḳhazāna luTātā rahūñgā

na.e rāstoñ aur na.e zāviyoñ meñ

nuqūsh-e-kuhan maiñ miTātā rahūñgā

kahāñ tak chhupā.ūñgā dil us se apnā

kahāñ tak mohabbat chhupātā rahūñgā

shab-e-ġham falak par mohabbat ke 'qaisar'

abhī aur maiñ jagmagātā rahūñgā

main gham ki kahani sunata rahunga

tumhein haal dil ka batata rahunga

jahan dekh kar mujh ko tum hans paDoge

wahin par main aansu bahata rahunga

nigahen milaen ki wo dur jaen

shu'ur-e-tamanna jagata rahunga

jafaon ki pur-pech rahon mein har dam

wafa ka KHazana luTata rahunga

nae raston aur nae zawiyon mein

nuqush-e-kuhan main miTata rahunga

kahan tak chhupaunga dil us se apna

kahan tak mohabbat chhupata rahunga

shab-e-gham falak par mohabbat ke 'qaisar'

abhi aur main jagmagata rahunga
