    aaj tārīki-e-shab had sivā lagtī hai

    jaane kyā baat huī hai ki ghuTan hotī hai

    go ki ik umr guzārī hai isī zindāñ meñ

    nīm-tārīk se is gosha-e-vīrāñ se mirī

    aisā lagtā hai ki derīna shanāsā.ī hai

    us dīvāroñ pe likkhe haiñ ka.ī afsāne

    jin meñ dil-gīr tamannāoñ gahrā.ī hai

    us be-jān zamīñ ne mirī āñkhoñ meñ bahut

    ḳhushk siine ke liye āb-e-baqā paayā hai

    us maḳhdūsh shikasta chhatoñ ne aksar

    shab Dhale nāla-e-dil-gīr ko dohrāyā hai

    usī zindān ke rauzan ne sahar ke qisse

    mehrbāñ ho ke mire haal pe dohrā.e haiñ

    ab ye aalam hai ki gardan hai hamrāz ye tauq

    beḌiyāñ haiñ mire pairoñ sahelī ab to

    ab to zanjīr jhankār meñ lutf aatā hai

    ab ye parvāna rihā.ī jalā do to sahī

    usī zindāñ ko mirī qabr banā do to sahī

    taaq sham-e-ta.alluq bhī bujhāo to sahī

    us se kah do ki rihā.ī nahīñ hone vaalī

    mujh meñ zindāñ meñ judā.ī nahīñ hone vaalī

    lazzat-e-vasl use ab nahīñ milne vaalī

    dil ga.ī raat sahar ab nahīñ hone vaalī

    aaj tariki-e-shab had siwa lagti hai

    jaane kya baat hui hai ki ghuTan hoti hai

    go ki ek umr guzari hai isi zindan mein

    nim-tarik se is gosha-e-viran se meri

    aisa lagta hai ki derina shanasai hai

    us ki diwaron pe likkhe hain kai afsane

    jin mein dil-gir tamannaon ki gahrai hai

    us ki be-jaan zamin ne meri aankhon mein bahut

    KHushk sine ke liye aab-e-baqa paya hai

    us ki maKHdush shikasta si chhaton ne aksar

    shab Dhale nala-e-dil-gir ko dohraya hai

    usi zindan ke rauzan ne sahar ke qisse

    mehrban ho ke mere haal pe dohrae hain

    ab ye aalam hai ki gardan ka hai hamraaz ye tauq

    beDiyan hain mere pairon ki saheli ab to

    ab to zanjir ki jhankar mein lutf aata hai

    ab ye parwana rihai ka jala do to sahi

    usi zindan ko meri qabr bana do to sahi

    taq ki sham-e-talluq bhi bujhao to sahi

    us se kah do ki rihai nahin hone wali

    mujh mein zindan mein judai nahin hone wali

    lazzat-e-wasl use ab nahin milne wali

    dil gai raat sahar ab nahin hone wali
