kuchh na kuchh hogā mirī mushkil kā hal furqat kī raat

tum na aaoge to aa.egī ajal furqat kī raat

aa gayā kyā nazm-e-hastī meñ ḳhalal furqat kī raat

ruk gayā kyuuñ daur-e-gardūñ kā amal furqat kī raat

ho rahī haiñ shaam se sākin ghaḌī kī sūiyāñ

paañv phailātā hai kyā ek ek pal furqat kī raat

sard sard aahoñ se yuuñ aañsū mire jamte ga.e

ho gayā ta.amīr ik motī-mahal furqat kī raat

kuchh nahīñ khultā ki āḳhir is qadar lambī hai kyuuñ

vasl ke din kā hai jab radd-e-amal furqat kī raat

zindagī bhar ye balā pīchhā na chhoḌegī mirā

aaj jā.egī to phir aa.egī kal furqat kī raat

sub.h kā muñh dekhnā mere muqaddar meñ na thā

merā andesha na thā kuchh be-mahal furqat kī raat

dard meñ Duube hue haiñ shahr saare ai 'vafā'

kis qayāmat kī kahī tū ne ġhazal furqat kī raat
