    raah chalte hue ik moḌ pe duur az ummīd

    aañkh jhapkī to mire sāmne vo shoḳh parī-paikar thā

    mere pahlū se vo guzrā magar is tarah ki chehre pe thā haath

    ek mīThī ḳhalish chhoḌ ga.ī dil meñ ye jāñ-soz adā

    māvarā.ī saaya jalva jo gurezāñ hai mirī nazroñ se

    merī bāñhoñ harārat meñ kabhī sham.a ke mānind pighal jaatā thā

    qurb aañch se ye paikar-e-nūr

    ishq ātish-e-sayyāl meñ Dhal jaatā thā

    ek shola rag-o-pai meñ machal jaatā thā

    ye koī dasht-e-tasavvur hasīñ moḌ na thā

    jahāñ ram-dīda ġhazālān-e-taḳhayyul ne use dekhā ho

    ye koī ḳhvāb-e-dil-āvez na thā

    moḌ ojhal huā nazroñ se to phir raah vahī log vahī

    sirf vo chehra vo āñkheñ vo ḳhat-o-ḳhāl na the

    jin se baḌh kar koī nazroñ shanāsā bhī nahīñ

    haa.e vo lamha-e-parāñ vo dil-āvez adā

    yuuñ mile jaise kabhī maiñ ne unheñ dekhnā chāhā bhī nahīñ

    hai rivāyat ki ḳhudāvand-e-ḳhudāyān-e-jahāñ

    apnī rūyat se musharraf yūñhī farmātā hai un bandoñ ko

    jo us lagan meñ shab o roz

    hamd o tasbīh o sanā aur munājāt o duā karte haiñ

    sirf ik diid hasrat meñ jiyā karte haiñ

    āñkhoñ meñ kaaT diyā karte haiñ raat

    tab kisī lamhe meñ vo zāt-e-munazzah ki jo hai ḳhātama-e-jumla-sifāt

    shola-e-husn-e-azal rūh-e-jahāñ jān-e-hayāt

    sub.h ke nuur ke mānind nigāhoñ ko munavvar kartā

    arsh se farsh pe kartā hai nuzūl

    aur usī lamha vo bad-baḳht vo martāzi-e-tasbīh-o-ruku-o-sajda

    nashsha-e-tishnagi-e-dīd se chuur

    ḳhānqāhoñ ke kisī goshe meñ so jaate haiñ

    jis tarah hasrat-e-dīdār meñ ik umr guzārī nahīñ

    aartī jaise kabhī us nigāhoñ ne utārī nahīñ

    aur vo rabb-e-jahāñ rāhat-e-jāñ

    māvarā-e-nigah-e-kaun-o-makāñ

    muñh chhupā.e hue hāthoñ se guzar jaatā hai

    hasrat-e-dīd dar-o-bām se sar phoḌtī rah jaatī hai

    rah chalte hue ek moD pe dur az ummid

    aankh jhapki to mere samne wo shoKH pari-paikar tha

    mere pahlu se wo guzra magar is tarah ki chehre pe tha hath

    ek miThi si KHalish chhoD gai dil mein ye jaan-soz ada

    mawarai saya jalwa jo gurezan hai meri nazron se

    meri banhon ki hararat mein kabhi shama ke manind pighal jata tha

    qurb ki aanch se ye paikar-e-nur

    ishq ki aatish-e-sayyal mein Dhal jata tha

    ek shola sa rag-o-pai mein machal jata tha

    ye koi dasht-e-tasawwur ka hasin moD na tha

    jahan ram-dida ghazalan-e-taKHayyul ne use dekha ho

    ye koi KHwab-e-dil-awez na tha

    moD ojhal hua nazron se to phir rah wahi log wahi

    sirf wo chehra wo aankhen wo KHat-o-KHal na the

    jin se baDh kar koi nazron ka shanasa bhi nahin

    hae wo lamha-e-paran wo dil-awez ada

    yun mile jaise kabhi main ne unhen dekhna chaha bhi nahin

    hai riwayat ki KHudawand-e-KHudayan-e-jahan

    apni ruyat se musharraf yunhi farmata hai un bandon ko

    jo us ki lagan mein shab o roz

    hamd o tasbih o sana aur munajat o dua karte hain

    sirf ek did ki hasrat mein jiya karte hain

    aankhon mein kaT diya karte hain raat

    tab kisi lamhe mein wo zat-e-munazzah ki jo hai KHatama-e-jumla-sifat

    shola-e-husn-e-azal ruh-e-jahan jaan-e-hayat

    subh ke nur ke manind nigahon ko munawwar karta

    arsh se farsh pe karta hai nuzul

    aur usi lamha wo bad-baKHt wo martazi-e-tasbih-o-ruku-o-sajda

    nashsha-e-tishnagi-e-did se chur

    KHanqahon ke kisi goshe mein so jate hain

    jis tarah hasrat-e-didar mein ek umr guzari hi nahin

    aarti jaise kabhi us ki nigahon ne utari hi nahin

    aur wo rabb-e-jahan rahat-e-jaan

    mawara-e-nigah-e-kaun-o-makan

    munh chhupae hue hathon se guzar jata hai

    hasrat-e-did dar-o-baam se sar phoDti rah jati hai
