    vo sard raat jabki safar kar rahā thā maiñ

    rañgīniyoñ se zarf-e-nazar bhar rahā thā maiñ

    tezī se jañgaloñ meñ uḌī rahī thī rail

    ḳhvābīda kā.enāt ko chauñkā rahī thī rail

    muḌtī uchhaltī kāñptī chiñghāḌtī huī

    kohre vo dabīz ridā phāḌtī huī

    pahiyoñ gardishoñ meñ machaltī thī rāgnī

    aahan se aag ban ke nikaltī thī rāgnī

    pahuñchī jidhar zamīñ kaleja hilā diyā

    dāman meñ tīrgī ke garebāñ banā diyā

    jhoñke havā ke barf bichhāte the raah meñ

    jalve samā rahe the laraz kar nigāh meñ

    dhoke se chhū ga.iiñ jo kahīñ sard uñgliyāñ

    bichchhū Dañk mārne lagtī thiiñ khiḌkiyāñ

    pichhle pahar narm dhuñdlakā thā pur-fishāñ

    māyūsiyoñ meñ jaise umīdoñ kārvāñ

    be-nūr ho ke Dūbne vaalā thā māhtāb

    kohre meñ khup ga.ī thī sitāroñ āb-o-tāb

    qabze se tīrgī ke sahar chhūTne ko thī

    mashriq ke hāshiye meñ kiran phūTne ko thī

    kohre meñ thā Dhake hue bāġhoñ ye samāñ

    jis tarah zer-e-āb jhalaktī hoñ bastiyāñ

    bhīgī huī zamīñ thī namī fazā meñ thī

    ik kisht-e-barf thī ki muallaq havā meñ thī

    jaadū ke farsh sehr ke sab saqf-o-bām the

    dosh-e-havā pe pariyoñ ke sīmīñ ḳhiyām the

    thī ThanDe ThanDe nuur meñ khoī huī nigāh

    Dhal kar fazā meñ aa.ī thī hūroñ ḳhvāb-gāh

    ban ban ke phen sū-e-falak dekhtā huā

    dariyā chalā thā chhoḌ ke dāman zamīn

    is shabnamī dhundalke meñ bagule the yuuñ ravāñ

    maujoñ pe mast ho ke chaleñ jaise machhliyāñ

    Daalā kabhī fazāoñ meñ ḳhat kho ga.e kabhī

    jhalke kabhī ufuq meñ nihāñ ho ga.e kabhī

    engine se uḌ ke kāñptā phirtā thā yuuñ dhuāñ

    letā thā lahr khet meñ kohre ke āsmāñ

    us vaqt kyā thā ruuh pe sadma na pūchhiye

    yaad aa rahā thā kis se bichhaḌnā na pūchhiye

    dil meñ kuchh aise ghaav the tīr-e-malāl ke

    ro ro diyā thā khiḌkī se gardan nikāl ke

    wo sard raat jabki safar kar raha tha main

    ranginiyon se zarf-e-nazar bhar raha tha main

    tezi se jangalon mein uDi ja rahi thi rail

    KHwabida kaenat ko chaunka rahi thi rail

    muDti uchhalti kanpti chinghaDti hui

    kohre ki wo dabiz rida phaDti hui

    pahiyon ki gardishon mein machalti thi ragni

    aahan se aag ban ke nikalti thi ragni

    pahunchi jidhar zamin ka kaleja hila diya

    daman mein tirgi ke gareban bana diya

    jhonke hawa ke barf bichhate the rah mein

    jalwe sama rahe the laraz kar nigah mein

    dhoke se chhu gain jo kahin sard ungliyan

    bichchhu sa Dank marne lagti thin khiDkiyan

    pichhle pahar ka narm dhundlaka tha pur-fishan

    mayusiyon mein jaise umidon ka karwan

    be-nur ho ke Dubne wala tha mahtab

    kohre mein khup gai thi sitaron ki aab-o-tab

    qabze se tirgi ke sahar chhuTne ko thi

    mashriq ke hashiye mein kiran phuTne ko thi

    kohre mein tha Dhake hue baghon ka ye saman

    jis tarah zer-e-ab jhalakti hon bastiyan

    bhigi hui zamin thi nami si faza mein thi

    ek kisht-e-barf thi ki muallaq hawa mein thi

    jadu ke farsh sehr ke sab saqf-o-baam the

    dosh-e-hawa pe pariyon ke simin KHiyam the

    thi ThanDe ThanDe nur mein khoi hui nigah

    Dhal kar faza mein aai thi huron ki KHwab-gah

    ban ban ke phen su-e-falak dekhta hua

    dariya chala tha chhoD ke daman zamin ka

    is shabnami dhundalke mein bagule the yun rawan

    maujon pe mast ho ke chalen jaise machhliyan

    Dala kabhi fazaon mein KHat kho gae kabhi

    jhalke kabhi ufuq mein nihan ho gae kabhi

    engine se uD ke kanpta phirta tha yun dhuan

    leta tha lahr khet mein kohre ke aasman

    us waqt kya tha ruh pe sadma na puchhiye

    yaad aa raha tha kis se bichhaDna na puchhiye

    dil mein kuchh aise ghaw the tir-e-malal ke

    ro ro diya tha khiDki se gardan nikal ke
