tanaben kaTne lagin meri KHush-bayani ki
tanābeñ kaTne lagīñ merī ḳhush-bayānī kī
ki ab vo rut hī nahīñ terī mehrbānī kī
Dubo diyā hai mujhe merī ḳhush-yaqīnī ne
ye baat ġhaur-talab hai mirī kahānī kī
ḳhizāñ meñ hijr kī Duubā visāl kā mausam
magar hai zehn meñ ḳhushbū sī raat raanī kī
kabhī to aa.egā sāhil tirī rifāqat kā
abhī maiñ baiThā huuñ kashtī meñ bad-gumānī kī
shagufta lahje meñ vo mujh se boltā hī nahīñ
jahāñ meñ dhuum sī hai jis kī ḳhush-bayānī kī
kalī chaTak uThī māhaul ho gayā gul-bez
jo baat aa.ī kabhī us kī ḳhush-bayānī kī
gulāb chehre umīdoñ ke bujh ga.e 'mehdī'
na baat kījiye mausam kī mehrbānī kī
tanaben kaTne lagin meri KHush-bayani ki
ki ab wo rut hi nahin teri mehrbani ki
Dubo diya hai mujhe meri KHush-yaqini ne
ye baat ghaur-talab hai meri kahani ki
KHizan mein hijr ki Duba visal ka mausam
magar hai zehn mein KHushbu si raat rani ki
kabhi to aaega sahil teri rifaqat ka
abhi main baiTha hun kashti mein bad-gumani ki
shagufta lahje mein wo mujh se bolta hi nahin
jahan mein dhum si hai jis ki KHush-bayani ki
kali chaTak uThi mahaul ho gaya gul-bez
jo baat aai kabhi us ki KHush-bayani ki
gulab chehre umidon ke bujh gae 'mehdi'
na baat kijiye mausam ki mehrbani ki
