raat ki aankh mein mere liye kuchh KHwab bhi the

raat kī aañkh meñ mere liye kuchh ḳhvāb bhī the

ye alag baat ki har ḳhvāb meñ girdāb bhī the

zindagī bāñjh sī aurat thī ki jis ke dil meñ

buuñd kī pyaas bhī thī aañkh meñ sailāb bhī the

zaḳhm kyuuñ risne lage ik tire chhū lene se

dukh samundar the magar mauja-e-pāyāb bhī the

chāñd kī kirnoñ meñ aahaT tire qadmoñ kī sunī

aur phir chāñd ke Dhal jaane ko betāb bhī the

tujh se jo lamha milā lamha-e-mashrūt milā

vasl kī sā.atoñ meñ hijr ke ādāb bhī the

azhdahā pāniyoñ kā shahr-e-navā TuuT gayā

mātamī aañkh meñ aañsū mire be-āb bhī the

kitnā ābād mire saath thā sāyoñ kā hujūm

kaise tanhā.ī ke sahrā the jo shādāb bhī the

raat ki aankh mein mere liye kuchh KHwab bhi the

ye alag baat ki har KHwab mein girdab bhi the

zindagi banjh si aurat thi ki jis ke dil mein

bund ki pyas bhi thi aankh mein sailab bhi the

zaKHm kyun risne lage ek tere chhu lene se

dukh samundar the magar mauja-e-payab bhi the

chand ki kirnon mein aahaT tere qadmon ki suni

aur phir chand ke Dhal jaane ko betab bhi the

tujh se jo lamha mila lamha-e-mashrut mila

wasl ki saaton mein hijr ke aadab bhi the

azhdaha paniyon ka shahr-e-nawa TuT gaya

matami aankh mein aansu mere be-ab bhi the

kitna aabaad mere sath tha sayon ka hujum

kaise tanhai ke sahra the jo shadab bhi the
