raas aane lagī thī tanhā.ī
yād-e-mahbūb tū kahāñ aa.ī
phir uThātā huuñ minnat-e-tiflāñ
phir hai saudā-e-nañg-e-rusvā.ī
phir vahī kārobār-e-rāz-o-niyāz
phir vahī shauq-e-ḳhalvat-ārā.ī
phir vahī āstāñ hai aur maiñ huuñ
phir vahī sar hai aur jabīñ-sā.ī
phir vahī sub.h aur azm-e-safar
phir vahī shaam aur tanhā.ī
dekh kar tujh ko dekhtā hī rahā
ek dīdār kā tamannā.ī
terī ḳhidmat meñ nazr hai ye ġhazal
ai sarāpā ġhazal kī ra.anā.ī
