ye raat Dhalte Dhalte rakh gai jawab ke liye
ye raat Dhalte Dhalte rakh ga.ī javāb ke liye
ki terī āñkheñ jāgtī haiñ kis ke ḳhvāb ke liye
kitāb dil pe likhne kī ijāzat us ne dī na thī
hai saada aaj bhī varaq ye intisāb ke liye
mirī nazar meñ aa gayā hai jab se ik sahīfa-ruḳh
kashish rahī na dil meñ ab kisī kitāb ke liye
hamārī mahzar-e-amal hai zer-e-faisla abhī
khaḌe haiñ sar jhukā.e kab se ehtisāb ke liye
purāne paḌ chuke kabhī ke sab tarīqa-e-sitam
ḳharābī aur chāhiye dil-e-ḳharāb ke liye
samajh rahe haiñ sab yahāñ hai zindagī azāb-e-jāñ
magar ye bhāg-dauḌ hai isī azaab ke liye
tamām jism zaḳhmoñ se gulāb-zār ho gayā
to laḌ rahe haiñ 'anjum' ab ye kis gulāb ke liye
ye raat Dhalte Dhalte rakh gai jawab ke liye
ki teri aankhen jagti hain kis ke KHwab ke liye
kitab dil pe likhne ki ijazat us ne di na thi
hai sada aaj bhi waraq ye intisab ke liye
meri nazar mein aa gaya hai jab se ek sahifa-ruKH
kashish rahi na dil mein ab kisi kitab ke liye
hamari mahzar-e-amal hai zer-e-faisla abhi
khaDe hain sar jhukae kab se ehtisab ke liye
purane paD chuke kabhi ke sab tariqa-e-sitam
KHarabi aur chahiye dil-e-KHarab ke liye
samajh rahe hain sab yahan hai zindagi azab-e-jaan
magar ye bhag-dauD hai isi azab ke liye
tamam jism zaKHmon se gulab-zar ho gaya
to laD rahe hain 'anjum' ab ye kis gulab ke liye
