khiḌkiyoñ se jhāñk kar galiyoñ meñ Dar dekhā kiye
ghar meñ baiThe raat din dīvār-o-dar dekhā kiye
aisā manzar thā ki āñkheñ dekh kar pathrā ga.iiñ
phir na dekhā kuchh magar nezoñ pe sar dekhā kiye
rāt-bhar sochā kiye aur sub.h-dam aḳhbār meñ
apne hāthoñ apne marne kī ḳhabar dekhā kiye
ek taarā nā-gahāñ chamkā girā aur bujh gayā
phir na aa.ī niiñd taare rāt-bhar dekhā kiye
vo to ḳhvāboñ meñ bhī ḳhushbū kī tarah aatā rahā
phuul kī mānind us ko ham magar dekhā kiye
kaun thā vo kab milā thā kyā pata 'alvī' magar
der tak ham us ko āñkheñ muuñd kar dekhā kiye
