raat kitne na-tarashida guhar bhi laegi

raat kitne nā-tarāshīda guhar bhī lā.egī

nā-tarāshīda sī zau lekin sahar bhī lā.egī

jagmagā uTTheñge shāḳhoñ par gulāboñ ke charāġh

jab bahār aa.ī to apne bāl-o-par bhī lā.egī

aaj tak lauTe nahīñ nādīda sham.oñ ke safīr

jugnuoñ kī raushnī un kī ḳhabar bhī lā.egī

jab milī āvārgī ko manzil-e-ḳhud-āgahī

dasht meñ kho.e huoñ ko apne ghar bhī lā.egī

ḳhaak se taḳhlīq hogī ātish-o-āb-o-havā

zindagī ḳhud apnā sāmān-e-safar bhī lā.egī

tā-ba-kai chhup kar karoge merā sar tan se judā

dekhnā kal kī gavāhī merā sar bhī lā.egī

jab bujhegī aag to apne hī naġhmoñ se 'jamīl'

zard āñdhī bārish-e-barq-o-sharar bhī lā.egī

raat kitne na-tarashida guhar bhi laegi

na-tarashida si zau lekin sahar bhi laegi

jagmaga uTThenge shaKHon par gulabon ke charagh

jab bahaar aai to apne baal-o-par bhi laegi

aaj tak lauTe nahin nadida shamon ke safir

jugnuon ki raushni un ki KHabar bhi laegi

jab mili aawargi ko manzil-e-KHud-agahi

dasht mein khoe huon ko apne ghar bhi laegi

KHak se taKHliq hogi aatish-o-ab-o-hawa

zindagi KHud apna saman-e-safar bhi laegi

ta-ba-kai chhup kar karoge mera sar tan se juda

dekhna kal ki gawahi mera sar bhi laegi

jab bujhegi aag to apne hi naghmon se 'jamil'

zard aandhi barish-e-barq-o-sharar bhi laegi
