mera sawal hai ai qatilan-e-shab tum se
mirā savāl hai ai qātilān-e-shab tum se
ki ye zamīn munavvar huī hai kab tum se
charāġh baḳhshe ga.e shahr-e-be-basārat ko
ye kār-e-ḳhair bhī sarzad huā ajab tum se
vo ek ishq jo, ab tak hai tishna-e-takmīl
vo ek daaġh jo raushan hai roz-o-shab tum se
mirī numūd meñ vahshat hai, merī soch meñ shor
bahut alag hai mirī zindagī kā Dhab tum se
mire ḳhitāb kī shiddat pe chīḳhne vaalo
tumhāre lahje meñ goyā huā huuñ ab tum se
shikasta rishtoñ kī hāthoñ meñ Dor thāme hue
maiñ pūchhtā huuñ mire dosto sabab tum se
tumhāre naam kī tohmat hai mere sar pe 'nabīl'
judā hai varna mirā shajra-e-nasab tum se
mera sawal hai ai qatilan-e-shab tum se
ki ye zamin munawwar hui hai kab tum se
charagh baKHshe gae shahr-e-be-basarat ko
ye kar-e-KHair bhi sarzad hua ajab tum se
wo ek ishq jo, ab tak hai tishna-e-takmil
wo ek dagh jo raushan hai roz-o-shab tum se
meri numud mein wahshat hai, meri soch mein shor
bahut alag hai meri zindagi ka Dhab tum se
mere KHitab ki shiddat pe chiKHne walo
tumhaare lahje mein goya hua hun ab tum se
shikasta rishton ki hathon mein Dor thame hue
main puchhta hun mere dosto sabab tum se
tumhaare nam ki tohmat hai mere sar pe 'nabil'
juda hai warna mera shajra-e-nasab tum se
