    ghane daraḳht ke saa.e meñ kaun baiThā hai

    tasavvurāt sau mish.aleñ jalā.e hue

    riyāz-o-fikr lahreñ javān chehre par

    siyāh zulf mashiyyat dil churā.e hue

    ye iztirāb ki andar dil dhaḌaktā hai

    ye irti.āsh ki kohsār thartharā.e hue

    ye aadmī na kahīñ zabt-e-zindagī sah kar

    mujhī se chhīn le mere kañval jalā.e hue

    kaho kaho kisī rañgīn tītarī se kaho

    ki apne hoñToñ pe naġhmoñ baar uThā.e hue

    zamīñ samt ravāna ho bijliyoñ tarah

    jalā ke raakh kar de mahal banā.e hue

    vo menkā ne fazāoñ meñ raag chheḌā hai

    vo ghuñgrūoñ sadā.eñ zamīñ uThā.e hue

    rishī āñkhoñ meñ us rāgnī se diip chale

    laboñ se khīñch liyā ras nazar milā.e hue

    sunā hai aaj bhī andar taḳht baaqī hai

    vahī haiñ rañg-mahal ab bhī jagmagā.e hue

    magar abhī mire māthe pe nuur raqsāñ hai

    mirī shikast se parvardigār larzāñ hai

    ghane daraKHt ke sae mein kaun baiTha hai

    tasawwuraat ki sau mishalen jalae hue

    riyaz-o-fikr ki lahren jawan chehre par

    siyah zulf mashiyyat ka dil churae hue

    ye iztirab ki andar ka dil dhaDakta hai

    ye irtiash ki kohsar thartharae hue

    ye aadmi na kahin zabt-e-zindagi sah kar

    mujhi se chhin le mere kanwal jalae hue

    kaho kaho kisi rangin titari se kaho

    ki apne honTon pe naghmon ka bar uThae hue

    zamin ki samt rawana ho bijliyon ki tarah

    jala ke rakh hi kar de mahal banae hue

    wo meinka ne fazaon mein rag chheDa hai

    wo ghungruon ki sadaen zamin uThae hue

    rishi ki aankhon mein us ragni se dip chale

    labon se khinch liya ras nazar milae hue

    suna hai aaj bhi andar ka taKHt baqi hai

    wahi hain rang-mahal ab bhi jagmagae hue

    magar abhi mere mathe pe nur raqsan hai

    meri shikast se parwardigar larzan hai
