tañg naddī ke taḌapte hue paanī kī tarah

ham ne Daalī hai na.ī ek ravānī kī tarah

Dhalte Dhalte bhī ġhazab Dhaa.e gayā hijr kā din

kisī kāfir kī junūñ-ḳhez javānī kī tarah

aisī vahshat kā burā ho ki ham apne ghar se

ġham hue ḳhud bhī mohabbat kī nishānī kī tarah

nañge sach qābil-e-bardāsht kahāñ hote haiñ

vāqi.a kahiye to kahiyegā kahānī kī tarah

paas rakkheñ to malāl aag lagā.eñ to malāl

dil bhī hai kyā kisī tasvīr purānī kī tarah

ishq hai madrasa-e-zīst kī ukhḌī huī iiñT

hama-dānī kī tarah hech-mudānī kī tarah

ye ġhazal hazrat-e-'rāhīl' kī hai dhyān rahe

aap poshīda haiñ lafzoñ meñ ma.ānī kī tarah
