chaman meñ shab ko jo vo shoḳh be-naqāb aayā
yaqīn ho gayā shabnam ko āftāb aayā
un añkhḌiyoñ meñ agar nashsha-e-sharāb aayā
salām jhuk ke karūñgā jo phir hijāb aayā
kisī ke mahram-e-āb-e-ravāñ kī yaad aa.ī
habāb ke jo barābar kabhī habāb aayā
shab-e-firāq meñ mujh ko sulāne aayā thā
jagāyā maiñ ne jo afsāna-go ko ḳhvāb aayā
adam meñ hastī se jā kar yahī kahūñgā maiñ
hazār hasrat-e-zinda ko gaaḌ daab aayā
chakor husn-e-mah-e-chār-dah ko bhuul gayā
murād par jo tirā ālam-e-shabāb aayā
mohabbat-e-mai-o-māshūq tark kar 'ātish'
safed baal hue mausam-e-ḳhizāb aayā
