haath phailā.e the tum ne mujh ko tanhā dekh kar
ab ḳhafā hote ho kyuuñ zaḳhm-e-tamannā dekh kar
chāñdnī-rātoñ meñ aksar us galī ke moḌ par
chauñk uThtā hai koī apnā hī saaya dekh kar
ye nazar kī tishnagī ye salsabīl-e-husn-e-yār
jī sulagtā hai laboñ ke paas dariyā dekh kar
yaad aa jaatā hai nā-sufta umīdoñ kā ma.aal
Dhalte sāyoñ meñ guloñ kā rañg uḌtā dekh kar
the ba-faiz-e-ishq ham bhī yūsuf-e-bāzār-e-misr
lauT kar jaate kahāñ shahr-e-zuleḳhā dekh kar
