rawani gham ki jis mein thi wo jauhar de diya maine
ravānī ġham kī jis meñ thī vo jauhar de diyā maiñ ne
ġhazal pyāsī thī jazboñ kā samundar de diyā maiñ ne
jis ābādī meñ be-sūraj añdherā hī añdherā thā
use bhī chāñdnī-rātoñ kā manzar de diyā maiñ ne
jo muddat se gire the be-par-o-bālī kī khaa.ī meñ
uḌānoñ ke liye un ko bhī shahpar de diyā maiñ ne
jo palkoñ par sajā kar aas ke kuchh ḳhvāb baiThe the
unheñ un kī tamannāoñ kā maz.har de diyā maiñ ne
kaho 'dildār' mujh se aur kyā ab chāhiye tum ko
tumhāre shahr ko tahzīb kā ghar de diyā maiñ ne
rawani gham ki jis mein thi wo jauhar de diya main ne
ghazal pyasi thi jazbon ka samundar de diya main ne
jis aabaadi mein be-suraj andhera hi andhera tha
use bhi chandni-raaton ka manzar de diya main ne
jo muddat se gire the be-par-o-baali ki khai mein
uDanon ke liye un ko bhi shahpar de diya main ne
jo palkon par saja kar aas ke kuchh KHwab baiThe the
unhen un ki tamannaon ka mazhar de diya main ne
kaho 'dildar' mujh se aur kya ab chahiye tum ko
tumhaare shahr ko tahzib ka ghar de diya main ne
