subh-e-qayamat jaan se guzarne lagti hai

sub.h-e-qayāmat jaañ se guzarne lagtī hai

tez chalūñ to saañs bikharne lagtī hai

shahr-e-jāñ meñ ishq kī sham.eñ bujhte hī

qatra qatra raat utarne lagtī hai

kabhī kabhī ye zaḳhm khilātī purvā.ī

rañg mirī tasvīr meñ bharne lagtī hai

raat kī āñkheñ bujhte bujhte mahfil meñ

parvānoñ kī ḳhaak bikharne lagtī hai

izn-e-huzūrī us dar se mil jaa.e agar

patthar pe tasvīr ubharne lagtī hai

itnī ḳhush-nazarī bhī 'sāġhar' Thiik nahīñ

aañkh kabhī ta.abīr se Darne lagtī hai

subh-e-qayamat jaan se guzarne lagti hai

tez chalun to sans bikharne lagti hai

shahr-e-jaan mein ishq ki shamen bujhte hi

qatra qatra raat utarne lagti hai

kabhi kabhi ye zaKHm khilati purwai

rang meri taswir mein bharne lagti hai

raat ki aankhen bujhte bujhte mahfil mein

parwanon ki KHak bikharne lagti hai

izn-e-huzuri us dar se mil jae agar

patthar pe taswir ubharne lagti hai

itni KHush-nazari bhi 'saghar' Thik nahin

aankh kabhi tabir se Darne lagti hai
