raqs yak nur kabhi sail-e-bala dekhta hun
raqs yak nuur kabhī sail-e-balā dekhtā huuñ
zehn par chhā.ī huī dhuñd meñ kyā dekhtā huuñ
tujh ko mahdūd ḳhad-o-ḳhāl meñ kar rakkhā hai
maiñ kahāñ tujh ko abhī tere sivā dekhtā huuñ
narm miTTī se uThe haiñ vo kuñvāre jazbāt
jin ko pahne hue phūloñ kī qabā dekhtā huuñ
aañkh haa.il hai tirī diid meñ achchhā hogā
aaj ye āḳhirī parda bhī uThā dekhtā huuñ
kyuuñ na us parda-nashīñ ko ho takallum meñ hijāb
maiñ to āvāz ko bhī chehra-numā dekhtā huuñ
maiñ vo kāfir huuñ ki is zulmat-e-dil ke hāthoñ
har chamakte hue chehre meñ ḳhudā dekhtā huuñ
phir koī kunj-e-amāñ dasht-e-suḳhan meñ 'sahbā'
aaj phir dil ko pareshān-e-navā dekhtā huuñ
raqs yak nur kabhi sail-e-bala dekhta hun
zehn par chhai hui dhund mein kya dekhta hun
tujh ko mahdud KHad-o-KHal mein kar rakkha hai
main kahan tujh ko abhi tere siwa dekhta hun
narm miTTi se uThe hain wo kunware jazbaat
jin ko pahne hue phulon ki qaba dekhta hun
aankh hail hai teri did mein achchha hoga
aaj ye aaKHiri parda bhi uTha dekhta hun
kyun na us parda-nashin ko ho takallum mein hijab
main to aawaz ko bhi chehra-numa dekhta hun
main wo kafir hun ki is zulmat-e-dil ke hathon
har chamakte hue chehre mein KHuda dekhta hun
phir koi kunj-e-aman dasht-e-suKHan mein 'sahba'
aaj phir dil ko pareshan-e-nawa dekhta hun
