zehn mein charaghan hai ruh jagmagai hai

zehn meñ charāġhāñ hai ruuh jagmagā.ī hai

shaam ke dhuñdlakoñ meñ yaad terī aa.ī hai

kal ḳhizāñ meñ dīvāne be-niyāz-e-dāman the

fikr-e-pairahan ab hai jab bahār aa.ī hai

ḳhud ulajh ga.e āḳhir jo chale the suljhāne

gesū-e-pareshāñ se vo shikast khaa.ī hai

zulmat-e-shab-e-ġham meñ zindagī kī rāhoñ par

sham.a-e-ārzū ham ne muddatoñ jalā.ī hai

tum hī gesuoñ vaalo chhāñv le ke aa jaao

zindagī kī rāhoñ par tez dhuup chhā.ī hai

kaash daulat-e-ġham hī apne paas bach rahtī

vo bhī un ko de baiThe aisī maat khaa.ī hai

aap ro.e kyuuñ āḳhir sun ke qissa-e-'manzūr'

aap hī batā.eñ to aañkh kyuuñ bhar aa.ī hai

zehn mein charaghan hai ruh jagmagai hai

sham ke dhundlakon mein yaad teri aai hai

kal KHizan mein diwane be-niyaz-e-daman the

fikr-e-pairahan ab hai jab bahaar aai hai

KHud ulajh gae aaKHir jo chale the suljhane

gesu-e-pareshan se wo shikast khai hai

zulmat-e-shab-e-gham mein zindagi ki rahon par

shama-e-arzu hum ne muddaton jalai hai

tum hi gesuon walo chhanw le ke aa jao

zindagi ki rahon par tez dhup chhai hai

kash daulat-e-gham hi apne pas bach rahti

wo bhi un ko de baiThe aisi mat khai hai

aap roe kyun aaKHir sun ke qissa-e-'manzur'

aap hi bataen to aankh kyun bhar aai hai
