raat be-tarah dhaDka aasman ka sina
raat be-tarah dhaḌkā āsmān kā siinā
kahkashāñ sirhāne thī TūTtā thā ā.īnā
saaya saaya utrā hai ḳhauf āsmānoñ se
kū-ba-kū bhaTaktī hai ik havā-e-nā-bīnā
paḌ gayā hai dam lene māñda-e-nafas koī
ḳhvāb-soḳhta lamhe ḳhaak bistar-e-kīna
bāvḌī havāoñ meñ TūTne se gumbad ke
dekhiye kahāñ pahuñche ab khulā huā ziinā
phuuT phuuT kar tanhā roī ābla-pā.ī
har qadam pe ruk ruk kar raah kā lahū piinā
ug rahī haiñ āñkhoñ meñ aarzū kī chaTTāneñ
rassiyoñ meñ shal baazū shang kohkan jiinā
kār-zār dam le le munjamid hai bū-e-ḳhūñ
baj chuke rabāb-o-daf chup hai qulqul-e-mīnā
raat be-tarah dhaDka aasman ka sina
kahkashan sirhane thi TuTta tha aaina
saya saya utra hai KHauf aasmanon se
ku-ba-ku bhaTakti hai ek hawa-e-na-bina
paD gaya hai dam lene manda-e-nafas koi
KHwab-soKHta lamhe KHak bistar-e-kina
bawDi hawaon mein TuTne se gumbad ke
dekhiye kahan pahunche ab khula hua zina
phuT phuT kar tanha roi aabla-pai
har qadam pe ruk ruk kar rah ka lahu pina
ug rahi hain aankhon mein aarzu ki chaTTanen
rassiyon mein shal bazu shang kohkan jina
kar-zar dam le le munjamid hai bu-e-KHun
baj chuke rabab-o-daf chup hai qulqul-e-mina
