raat bezar sa ghar se jo main tanha nikla
raat bezār sā ghar se jo maiñ tanhā niklā
chāñd bhī jaise mere ġham kā shanāsā niklā
sar-ba-sar Duub gayā raat ke sannāTe meñ
chāñdnī jis ko maiñ samjhā thā vo dariyā niklā
duur se aa.ī galī meñ kahīñ qadmoñ kī sadā
apnā ghar chhoḌ ke mujh sā koī tanhā niklā
soī thī chāñdnī pattoñ se Dhakī saḌkoñ par
ek jhoñkā sar-e-shab ḳhaak uḌātā niklā
sāmne ghar ke tire koī khaḌā thā jaise
vahm apnā tirī dīvār kā saayā niklā
chāñdnī rāh-e-mulāqāt meñ dīvār banī
chāñd bhī jaise tirā chāhne vaalā niklā
raat ke moḌ pe kaun ā.ina-bardār milā
jis ko samjhā thā tirī yaad zamāna niklā
raat bhar mauj-e-havā se tirī ḳhushbū aa.ī
chāñd-tāroñ meñ tirā naqsh-e-kaf-e-pā niklā
is bhare shahr meñ ham chāk-e-garebāñ Thahre
jis ko dekhā vahī sargarm-e-tamāshā niklā
ham to is dil hī ko samjhe the bayābāñ 'ḳhāvar'
chāñd bhī duur tak ik rañg kā sahrā niklā
raat bezar sa ghar se jo main tanha nikla
chand bhi jaise mere gham ka shanasa nikla
sar-ba-sar Dub gaya raat ke sannaTe mein
chandni jis ko main samjha tha wo dariya nikla
dur se aai gali mein kahin qadmon ki sada
apna ghar chhoD ke mujh sa koi tanha nikla
soi thi chandni patton se Dhaki saDkon par
ek jhonka sar-e-shab KHak uData nikla
samne ghar ke tere koi khaDa tha jaise
wahm apna teri diwar ka saya nikla
chandni rah-e-mulaqat mein diwar bani
chand bhi jaise tera chahne wala nikla
raat ke moD pe kaun aaina-bardar mila
jis ko samjha tha teri yaad zamana nikla
raat bhar mauj-e-hawa se teri KHushbu aai
chand-taron mein tera naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa nikla
is bhare shahr mein hum chaak-e-gareban Thahre
jis ko dekha wahi sargarm-e-tamasha nikla
hum to is dil hi ko samjhe the bayaban 'KHawar'
chand bhi dur tak ek rang ka sahra nikla
