ek hī shai thī ba-andāz-e-digar māñgī thī

maiñ ne bīnā.ī nahīñ tujh se nazar māñgī thī

ek hi shai thi ba-andaz-e-digar mangi thi

main ne binai nahin tujh se nazar mangi thi

tamām maz.har-e-fitrat tire ġhazal-ḳhvāñ haiñ

ye chāñdnī bhī tire jism kā qasīda hai

tamam mazhar-e-fitrat tere ghazal-KHwan hain

ye chandni bhi tere jism ka qasida hai

tārīkiyoñ ke paar chamaktī hai koī shai

shāyad mire junūn-e-safar kī umañg hai

tarikiyon ke par chamakti hai koi shai

shayad mere junun-e-safar ki umang hai

un se milne kā manzar bhī dil-chasp thā ai 'asar'

is taraf se bahāreñ chalīñ aur udhar se ḳhizā.eñ chalīñ

un se milne ka manzar bhi dil-chasp tha ai 'asar'

is taraf se bahaaren chalin aur udhar se KHizaen chalin

tū bhī to haTā jism ke sūraj se añdhere

ye mahkī huī raat bhī mahtāb-ba-kaf hai

tu bhi to haTa jism ke suraj se andhere

ye mahki hui raat bhi mahtab-ba-kaf hai
