raat bhar us ne tirī yaad dilā.ī mujh ko
dekhte dekhte tāroñ kā safar ḳhatm huā
so gayā chāñd magar niind na aa.ī mujh ko

inhīñ āñkhoñ ne shab-e-hijr dikhā.ī mujh ko
saa.e kī tarah mire saath rahe ranj o alam
gardish-e-vaqt kahīñ raas na aa.ī mujh ko
dhuup idhar Dhaltī thī dil Dūbtā jaatā thā idhar
aaj tak yaad hai vo shām-e-judā.ī mujh ko
shahr-e-lahore tirī raunaqeñ daa.im ābād
