ye jo dhuan dhuan sa hai dasht-e-guman ke aas-pas

ye jo dhuāñ dhuāñ sā hai dasht-e-gumāñ ke ās-pās

kyā koī aag bujh ga.ī sarhad-e-jāñ ke ās-pās

shor-e-havā-e-shām-e-ġham yuuñ to kahāñ kahāñ nahīñ

suniye to bas sunā.ī de dard-e-nihāñ ke ās-pās

bujh ga.e kyā charāġh sab ai dil-e-āfiyat-talab

kab se bhaTak rahe haiñ ham kū-e-ziyāñ ke ās-pās

un ko talāsh kījiye ham to mileñge aap hī

apnī bhī jā-e-bāsh hai gum-shudagāñ ke ās-pās

sīna-e-shab ko chiir kar dekho to kyā samāñ hai ab

manzil-e-dil ke sāmne kūcha-e-jāñ ke ās-pās

vo bhī ajab savār thā aayā idhar udhar gayā

pahuñchī na merī ḳhaak bhī us kī inaañ ke ās-pās

ālam-e-sard-o-garm kī kyā ho bhalā unheñ ḳhabar

vo jo rahe haiñ umr bhar shola-ruḳhāñ ke ās-pās

ye jo dhuan dhuan sa hai dasht-e-guman ke aas-pas

kya koi aag bujh gai sarhad-e-jaan ke aas-pas

shor-e-hawa-e-sham-e-gham yun to kahan kahan nahin

suniye to bas sunai de dard-e-nihan ke aas-pas

bujh gae kya charagh sab ai dil-e-afiyat-talab

kab se bhaTak rahe hain hum ku-e-ziyan ke aas-pas

un ko talash kijiye hum to milenge aap hi

apni bhi ja-e-bash hai gum-shudagan ke aas-pas

sina-e-shab ko chir kar dekho to kya saman hai ab

manzil-e-dil ke samne kucha-e-jaan ke aas-pas

wo bhi ajab sawar tha aaya idhar udhar gaya

pahunchi na meri KHak bhi us ki inan ke aas-pas

aalam-e-sard-o-garm ki kya ho bhala unhen KHabar

wo jo rahe hain umr bhar shola-ruKHan ke aas-pas
