soz-e-dil har shab hamein apna hi batlati hai shama

soz-e-dil har shab hameñ apnā hī batlātī hai sham.a

dil kā jalnā ham dikhāte haiñ to jal jaatī hai sham.a

ye dhuāñ niiñ dard se bhartī hai aa.heñ jāñ-gudāz

kis nazākat saat ek ek ashk Tapkātī hai sham.a

sar-site paañv talak ġharq-e-araq be-vaj.h niiñ

be-hijāb us shola-rū ko dekh sharmātī hai sham.a

shola-rū ke dekhne kī yaañ talak mushtāq hai

paañv tak sar se lagā kar aañkh ban jaatī hai sham.a

'ishq' parvāne ke mātam meñ vo apne baal khol

soz-e-dil se aah kyā rone meñ bhar jaatī hai sham.a

soz-e-dil har shab hamein apna hi batlati hai shama

dil ka jalna hum dikhate hain to jal jati hai shama

ye dhuan nin dard se bharti hai aahen jaan-gudaz

kis nazakat sat ek ek ashk Tapkati hai shama

sar-site panw talak gharq-e-araq be-wajh nin

be-hijab us shola-ru ko dekh sharmati hai shama

shola-ru ke dekhne ki yan talak mushtaq hai

panw tak sar se laga kar aankh ban jati hai shama

'ishq' parwane ke matam mein wo apne baal khol

soz-e-dil se aah kya rone mein bhar jati hai shama
