jab shaam baḌhī raat kā chāqū nikal aayā
is biich tirī yaad kā pahlū nikal aayā
vo shaḳhs ki miTTī kā thā jab haath lagāyā
chehra nikal aayā kabhī baazū nikal aayā
kuchh roz to do jism aur ik jaan rahe ham
phir silsila-e-harf-e-man-o-tū nikal aayā
dekhā ki hai bāzār yahāñ naf-o-zarar kā
vo tiir ki thā dil meñ tarāzū nikal aayā
thā band charāġh-e-ġhazal ik ġhaar meñ pahle
māñjhā hai 'suhail' us ko to jaadū nikal aayā
