vaqt-e-ruḳhsat vo aañsū bahāne lage
dil dukhāne ke manzar suhāne lage
pursish-e-dard ko jab vo aane lage
zaḳhm-e-dil misl-e-gul muskurāne lage
raat pal bhar ko palkeñ jhapakne na diiñ
subah hote hī āñkheñ churāne lage
aañkh bhar aa.ī barkhā ke paanī kī jab
naav kāġhaz kī bachche bahāne lage
mere aañsū the un kī hañsī kā sabab
roī shabnam to gul muskurāne lage
