mere najm-e-KHwab ke ru-ba-ru koi shai nahin mere Dhang ki

mire najm-e-ḳhvāb ke rū-ba-rū koī shai nahīñ mire Dhañg kī

ye falak hai kisht-e-ġhubār sā ye zamīñ hai paanī ke rañg kī

kisī shaam mere jilau meñ thā koī ḳhvāb vus.at-e-shahr kā

kisī sub.h mere vajūd par ye zamīn logoñ ne tañg kī

mirī be-kalī kā subūt hai mirī sham.a-e-ḳhvāb ke sāmne

koī garm mauj gumān kī koī sard lahr umañg kī

mire āsmāñ ke liye na thā koī phuul ātish-e-sub.h kā

so mire lahū ke charāġh ne ka.ī sard rātoñ se jañg kī

mire ḳhāk-dāñ kī sipar to hai kisī mauj-e-tez se aa.ina

mire ḳhvāb-e-satez kī teġh par vahī tā damaktī hai zañg kī

mere najm-e-KHwab ke ru-ba-ru koi shai nahin mere Dhang ki

ye falak hai kisht-e-ghubar sa ye zamin hai pani ke rang ki

kisi sham mere jilau mein tha koi KHwab wusat-e-shahr ka

kisi subh mere wajud par ye zamin logon ne tang ki

meri be-kali ka subut hai meri shama-e-KHwab ke samne

koi garm mauj guman ki koi sard lahr umang ki

mere aasman ke liye na tha koi phul aatish-e-subh ka

so mere lahu ke charagh ne kai sard raaton se jang ki

mere KHak-dan ki sipar to hai kisi mauj-e-tez se aaina

mere KHwab-e-satez ki tegh par wahi ta damakti hai zang ki
