ye KHwab aur bhi dekhenge raat baqi hai

ye ḳhvāb aur bhī dekheñge raat baaqī hai

abhī to ai dil-e-zinda hayāt baaqī hai

mire lahū meñ abhī tark-e-ishq ke bā-vasf

vo garmī-e-nigah-e-iltifāt baaqī hai

abhī to zauq-e-talab meñ kamī nahīñ aa.ī

abhī mirā safar-e-be-jihāt baaqī hai

jo ho sake to shahādat-gah-e-nazar meñ aa

ye dekh ishq meñ kitnā sabāt baaqī hai

ye kā.enāt abhī ek intizār meñ hai

ki hone vaalī koī vārdāt baaqī hai

ḳhud apnī raakh se tū jī uThe sharar kī tarah

ye mo.ajiza abhī ai kā.enāt baaqī hai

shab-e-visāl meñ din bhī milā na leñ ai dost

ki raat ḳhatm huī aur baat baaqī hai

huī hai shāḳh-e-hunar meñ na.ī numū ab ke

'salīm' barg-e-ḳhizāñ se najāt baaqī hai

ye KHwab aur bhi dekhenge raat baqi hai

abhi to ai dil-e-zinda hayat baqi hai

mere lahu mein abhi tark-e-ishq ke ba-wasf

wo garmi-e-nigah-e-iltifat baqi hai

abhi to zauq-e-talab mein kami nahin aai

abhi mera safar-e-be-jihat baqi hai

jo ho sake to shahadat-gah-e-nazar mein aa

ye dekh ishq mein kitna sabaat baqi hai

ye kaenat abhi ek intizar mein hai

ki hone wali koi wardat baqi hai

KHud apni rakh se tu ji uThe sharar ki tarah

ye moajiza abhi ai kaenat baqi hai

shab-e-visal mein din bhi mila na len ai dost

ki raat KHatm hui aur baat baqi hai

hui hai shaKH-e-hunar mein nai numu ab ke

'salim' barg-e-KHizan se najat baqi hai
