raat se aansu meri aankhon mein phir aane laga

raat se aañsū mirī āñkhoñ meñ phir aane lagā

yak ramaq jī thā badan meñ so bhī ghabrāne lagā

vo laḌakpan se nikal kar teġh chamkāne lagā

ḳhuun karne kā ḳhayāl ab kuchh use aane lagā

la.al-e-jāñ-baḳhsh us ke the poshīda juuñ āb-e-hayāt

ab to koī koī in hoñThoñ pe mar jaane lagā

haif maiñ us ke suḳhan par Tuk na rakkhā gosh ko

yuuñ to nāseh ne kahā thā dil na dīvāne lagā

habs-e-dam ke mo'taqid tum hoge shaiḳh-e-shahr ke

ye to albatta ki sun kar la.an dam khāne lagā

garm milnā us gul-e-nāzuk-tabī.at se na ho

chāñdnī meñ raat baiThā thā sau murjhāne lagā

āshiqoñ kī pā.emālī meñ use isrār hai

ya.anī vo mahshar-ḳhirām ab paañv phailāne lagā

chashmak us mah kī sī dilkash diid meñ aa.ī nahīñ

go sitāra subah kā bhī aañkh jhapkāne lagā

kyūñkar us ā.īna-rū se 'mīr' maliye be-hijāb

vo to apne aks se bhī dekho sharmāne lagā

raat se aansu meri aankhon mein phir aane laga

yak ramaq ji tha badan mein so bhi ghabrane laga

wo laDakpan se nikal kar tegh chamkane laga

KHun karne ka KHayal ab kuchh use aane laga

lal-e-jaan-baKHsh us ke the poshida jun aab-e-hayat

ab to koi koi in honThon pe mar jaane laga

haif main us ke suKHan par Tuk na rakkha gosh ko

yun to naseh ne kaha tha dil na diwane laga

habs-e-dam ke mo'taqid tum hoge shaiKH-e-shahr ke

ye to albatta ki sun kar lan dam khane laga

garm milna us gul-e-nazuk-tabiat se na ho

chandni mein raat baiTha tha sau murjhane laga

aashiqon ki paemali mein use israr hai

yani wo mahshar-KHiram ab panw phailane laga

chashmak us mah ki si dilkash did mein aai nahin

go sitara subah ka bhi aankh jhapkane laga

kyunkar us aaina-ru se 'mir' maliye be-hijab

wo to apne aks se bhi dekho sharmane laga
