raat jo mauj-e-hawa ne gul se dil ki baat kahi
raat jo mauj-e-havā ne gul se dil kī baat kahī
ik ik barg-e-chaman ne kaisī kaisī baat kahī
āñkheñ rañg ba-rañg saje rastoñ sarshār huiiñ
dil kī ḳhalish ne manzar manzar ek hī baat kahī
har iz.har kī tah meñ ek hī ma.ānī pinhā the
apnī taraf se sab ne apnī apnī baat kahī
aaj bhī harf o bayāñ ke sab paimāne hairāñ haiñ
kaise ġhazal ne do satroñ meñ puurī baat kahī
sīdhe-sāde se lafzoñ meñ kahnā mushkil thā
is liye to aisī aaḌī tirchhī baat kahī
tum kyuuñ apnī marzī ke mafhūm nikālo ho
utnā hī matlab hai hamārā jitnī baat kahī
tum bhī to mazmūn-tarāshī meñ masrūf rahe
tum ne bhī to 'ālī' kam kam aslī baat kahī
raat jo mauj-e-hawa ne gul se dil ki baat kahi
ek ek barg-e-chaman ne kaisi kaisi baat kahi
aankhen rang ba-rang saje raston sarshaar huin
dil ki KHalish ne manzar manzar ek hi baat kahi
har izhar ki tah mein ek hi maani pinha the
apni taraf se sab ne apni apni baat kahi
aaj bhi harf o bayan ke sab paimane hairan hain
kaise ghazal ne do satron mein puri baat kahi
sidhe-sade se lafzon mein kahna mushkil tha
is liye to aisi aaDi tirchhi baat kahi
tum kyun apni marzi ke mafhum nikalo ho
utna hi matlab hai hamara jitni baat kahi
tum bhi to mazmun-tarashi mein masruf rahe
tum ne bhi to 'ali' kam kam asli baat kahi
