ik shaam ye saffāk o bad-andesh jalā de
shāyad ki mujhe shola-e-dar-pesh jalā de
is dil ko kisī dast-e-adā-sanj meñ rakhnā
mumkin hai ye mīzān-e-kam-o-besh jalā de
kis qaht-e-ḳhor-o-ḳhvāb meñ maiñ mol ke laayā
vo naan ki jo kāsa-e-darvesh jalā de
ruḳhsat ko hai dariyā-e-dil-ārām-e-ravānī
jo kuchh hai safīne ke pas o pesh jalā de
shāyad ki kabhī ḳhāk-e-kam-āmez balā le
aur mujh ko pas-e-lauh-e-kam-andesh jalā de
