zehan merā qayās pahne hue
dil hai ḳhauf-o-hirās pahne hue
us kī āñkhoñ meñ saat dariyā haiñ
aur mire hoñT pyaas pahne hue
bheḌiye ne ajiib chaal chalī
chhup gayā sabz ghaas pahne hue
baiTh jaate haiñ bām-o-dar akasr
aa.ine ās-pās pahne hue
haiñ jo muñh-bole kuchh faqīr miyāñ
ye libāde haiñ ḳhaas pahne hue
baat kartā hai shaam sannāTā
ḳhāmushī kā libās pahne hue
shab-e-hijrān ek saaya mujhe
kyuuñ Darātā hai maas pahne hue
