shahr-e-dil sulga to aahon ka dhuan chhane laga

shahr-e-dil sulgā to aahoñ kā dhuāñ chhāne lagā

shabnamī āñchal magar yādoñ kā lahrāne lagā

shām-e-tanhā.ī meñ bhī ik shaḳhs kī yādoñ kā saath

rañg apne ġham ke vīrānoñ kā sañvlāne lagā

thaam kar baiThā rahā maiñ chāñdnī kā narm haath

jab añdherā zulf kā māhaul par chhāne lagā

dasht-e-tanhā.ī meñ jī chāhā use āvāz duuñ

jab pukārā ḳhud sadā se apnī Takrāne lagā

shaam hī se jal uThe jab us kī yādoñ ke charāġh

chhāñv meñ tāroñ kī shab par bhī nikhār aane lagā

shahr-e-dil sulga to aahon ka dhuan chhane laga

shabnami aanchal magar yaadon ka lahrane laga

sham-e-tanhai mein bhi ek shaKHs ki yaadon ka sath

rang apne gham ke viranon ka sanwlane laga

tham kar baiTha raha main chandni ka narm hath

jab andhera zulf ka mahaul par chhane laga

dasht-e-tanhai mein ji chaha use aawaz dun

jab pukara KHud sada se apni Takrane laga

sham hi se jal uThe jab us ki yaadon ke charagh

chhanw mein taron ki shab par bhi nikhaar aane laga
