ye kaun shama ki surat jala raha hai mujhe

ye kaun sham.a kī sūrat jalā rahā hai mujhe

ye kis ke hijr kā mausam rulā rahā hai mujhe

nazar kā fāsla kuchh der darmiyān rahā

phir is ke baad na apnā patā rahā hai mujhe

tū hī hai chashm-e-basīrat ke sāmne maujūd

ḳhayāl ab na kisī husn kā rahā hai mujhe

mujhe hai ilm ki kyā sirr-e-lā-ilāha hai

maiñ ḳhush huuñ daar kā manzar bulā rahā hai mujhe

mirā vajūd hī merī nazar kā dhokā hai

jalā ke kaun ye ḳhud ko miTā rahā hai mujhe

maiñ dekhtā huuñ har ik samt husn-e-zāt 'ḳhalish'

har aa.ina tirī sūrat dikhā rahā hai mujhe

ye kaun shama ki surat jala raha hai mujhe

ye kis ke hijr ka mausam rula raha hai mujhe

nazar ka fasla kuchh der darmiyan raha

phir is ke baad na apna pata raha hai mujhe

tu hi hai chashm-e-basirat ke samne maujud

KHayal ab na kisi husn ka raha hai mujhe

mujhe hai ilm ki kya sirr-e-la-ilaha hai

main KHush hun dar ka manzar bula raha hai mujhe

mera wajud hi meri nazar ka dhoka hai

jala ke kaun ye KHud ko miTa raha hai mujhe

main dekhta hun har ek samt husn-e-zat 'KHalish'

har aaina teri surat dikha raha hai mujhe
