zulmat-e-shab se ulajhna hai sahar hone tak

zulmat-e-shab se ulajhnā hai sahar hone tak

sar ko Takrānā hai dīvār meñ dar hone tak

ab to us phuul kī nik.hat se mahaktī hai hayāt

zaḳhm-e-dil zaḳhm thā tahzīb-e-nazar hone tak

dil hī jalne do shab-e-ġham jo nahīñ koī charāġh

kuchh ujālā to rahe ghar meñ sahar hone tak

zulmat-e-shab se ulajhna hai sahar hone tak

sar ko Takrana hai diwar mein dar hone tak

ab to us phul ki nikhat se mahakti hai hayat

zaKHm-e-dil zaKHm tha tahzib-e-nazar hone tak

dil hi jalne do shab-e-gham jo nahin koi charagh

kuchh ujala to rahe ghar mein sahar hone tak
