raat ka tarik-tar patthar jigar pani karen
raat kā tārīk-tar patthar jigar paanī kareñ
ham bhalā kis ke liye ye kār-e-lā-sānī kareñ
din to din rātoñ ko bhī ye apnī man-mānī kareñ
mamlikat par dil kī yādeñ jaise sultānī kareñ
bas ga.e haiñ aañkh meñ manzar pas-e-manzar sarāb
ham kahāñ tak apne ḳhvāboñ kī nigahbānī kareñ
ik tilismī rañg meñ kho jaa.eñ jab chehre tamām
farz hai āñkhoñ pe kyā iz.hār-e-hairānī kareñ
ab to saare faisle haiñ sañg-dil rātoñ ke haath
ye agar chāheñ to phir ḳhvāboñ kī arzānī kareñ
jab udaas āñkheñ diloñ se guftugū karne lageñ
phir to lab bekār hī zikr-e-pashemānī kareñ
raat ka tarik-tar patthar jigar pani karen
hum bhala kis ke liye ye kar-e-la-sani karen
din to din raaton ko bhi ye apni man-mani karen
mamlikat par dil ki yaaden jaise sultani karen
bas gae hain aankh mein manzar pas-e-manzar sarab
hum kahan tak apne KHwabon ki nigahbani karen
ek tilismi rang mein kho jaen jab chehre tamam
farz hai aankhon pe kya izhaar-e-hairani karen
ab to sare faisle hain sang-dil raaton ke hath
ye agar chahen to phir KHwabon ki arzani karen
jab udas aankhen dilon se guftugu karne lagen
phir to lab bekar hi zikr-e-pashemani karen
