tirā hī ruup nazar aa.e jā-ba-jā mujh ko

jo ho sake ye tamāshā na tū dikhā mujh ko

kabhī to koī falak se utar ke paas aa.e

kabhī to Dasne se baaz aa.e fāsla mujh ko

talāsh karte ho phūloñ meñ kaise pāgal ho

uḌā ke le bhī ga.ī sub.h kī havā mujh ko

kise ḳhabar ki sadā kis taraf se aa.egī

kahāñ se aa ke uThā.egā qāfila mujh ko

mirā hī naqsh-e-qadam thā mire ta.āqub meñ

vagarna laakh bulātī tirī sadā mujh ko

sameTtā rahā ḳhud ko maiñ umr-bhar lekin

bikhertā rahā shabnam kā silsila mujh ko

ghulī jo raat kī ḳhushbū to sāzishī jaage

dahaktī āñkhoñ ne ghere meñ le liyā mujh ko

Thahar sakī na agar chāñdnī to kyā ġham hai

yahī bahut hai ki tū yaad aa gayā mujh ko
