    jab raat bhiig jaatī hai

    to us nam

    kor-basar ḳhvāboñ ke sūkhe laboñ tak pahuñchtā hai

    aur tishna-kām ḳhvāboñ dam TūTne se zarā pahle

    un ko zindagī naved sunātā hai

    ḳhvāb jab maut ke dahāne se palaT kar aate haiñ

    to zindagī un ke rag-o-pai meñ sur.at se dauḌtī hai

    mahmez-e-shauq meñ vo apnī be-basarī ko farāmosh kiye

    tez-raftārī āḳhirī mumkina had ko chhūte hue

    ta.abīr manzil tak pahuñchnā chāhte haiñ

    maut saham un ke a.asāb shal kiye detā hai

    be-basarī unheñ nazar nazar bhaTkātī hai

    zindagī be-sabātī ḳhauf

    dev-haikal jallād sūrat mujassam ho kar

    un shāh-rag dabochne ke darpe hotā hai

    vo jānte haiñ

    ki chaah kar bhī is giraft se

    der tak aur duur tak āzād nahīñ rah sakte

    usī ḳhauf ke zer-e-asar

    mayassar vaqt meñ

    vo sadiyoñ ko lamhoñ meñ lenā chāhte haiñ

    aur lamhoñ se sadiyāñ kashīd karnā chāhte haiñ

    jab raat bhig jati hai

    to us ka nam

    kor-basar KHwabon ke sukhe labon tak pahunchta hai

    aur tishna-kaam KHwabon ka dam TuTne se zara pahle

    un ko zindagi ki nawed sunata hai

    KHwab jab maut ke dahane se palaT kar aate hain

    to zindagi un ke rag-o-pai mein surat se dauDti hai

    mahmez-e-shauq mein wo apni be-basari ko faramosh kiye

    tez-raftari ki aaKHiri mumkina had ko chhute hue

    tabir ki manzil tak pahunchna chahte hain

    maut ka saham un ke aasab shal kiye deta hai

    be-basari unhen nazar nazar bhaTkati hai

    zindagi ki be-sabaati ka KHauf

    dew-haikal jallad ki surat mujassam ho kar

    un ki shah-rag dabochne ke darpe hota hai

    wo jaante hain

    ki chah kar bhi is giraft se

    der tak aur dur tak aazad nahin rah sakte

    usi KHauf ke zer-e-asar

    mayassar waqt mein

    wo sadiyon ko lamhon mein ji lena chahte hain

    aur lamhon se sadiyan kashid karna chahte hain
