sham se ta-ba-sahar kitne sitare TuTe
kitnī zau-pāsh umīdoñ ke sahāre chhoTe
chāñd ik mast sharābī kī tarah vārafta
kohar kī dhuñd meñ chaltā rahā girtā paḌtā
dasht-e-tanhā.ī meñ uThte rahe ḳhush-rañg sarāb
rañg kī lahroñ pe khilte rahe nasrīn-o-gulāb
sarv ke saa.e meñ uljhe hue anfās ke raag
māzī-o-hāl ke sañgam pe chalāte rahe aag
pahle ik aag lagī aag phir ik yaad banī
yaad ashkoñ meñ nahā kar tire paikar meñ Dhalī
marmarīñ paikar-e-andāz ba-ḳhvāb-ālūda
jaise ḳhayyām kī taḳh.īl sharāb-ālūda
yak-ba-yak arsh se phir koī sitāra TuuTā
dil laraz uTThā ki ik aur sahārā TuuTā
terī zulfoñ kī tarah Dhal ke kamar tak pahuñchī
raat bal khātī huī bām-e-sahar tak pahuñchī
kitni zau-pash umidon ke sahaare chhoTe
chand ek mast sharabi ki tarah warafta
kohar ki dhund mein chalta raha girta paDta
dasht-e-tanhai mein uThte rahe KHush-rang sarab
rang ki lahron pe khilte rahe nasrin-o-gulab
sarw ke sae mein uljhe hue anfas ke rag
mazi-o-haal ke sangam pe chalate rahe aag
pahle ek aag lagi aag phir ek yaad bani
yaad ashkon mein naha kar tere paikar mein Dhali
marmarin paikar-e-andaz ba-KHwab-aluda
jaise KHayyam ki taKHil sharab-aluda
yak-ba-yak arsh se phir koi sitara TuTa
dil laraz uTTha ki ek aur sahaara TuTa
teri zulfon ki tarah Dhal ke kamar tak pahunchi
raat bal khati hui baam-e-sahar tak pahunchi
