gira to gir ke sar-e-KHak-e-ibtizal aaya

girā to gir ke sar-e-ḳhāk-e-ibtizāl aayā

maiñ teġh-e-tez thā lekin mujhe zavāl aayā

ajab huā ki sitāra-shanās se mil kar

shikast-e-anjum-e-nau-ḳhez kā ḳhayāl aayā

maiñ ḳhāk-e-sard pe soyā to mere pahlū meñ

phir ek ḳhwāb-e-shikast ā.ina-misāl aayā

kamān-e-shāḳh se gul kis hadaf ko jaate haiñ

nasheb-e-ḳhāk meñ jā kar mujhe ḳhayāl aayā

koī nahīñ thā magar sāhil-e-tamannā par

havā-e-shām meñ jab rañg-e-indimāl aayā

yahī hai vasl dil-e-kam-muāmla ke liye

ki aa.ine meñ vo ḳhurshīd-e-ḳhadd-o-ḳhāl aayā

gira to gir ke sar-e-KHak-e-ibtizal aaya

main tegh-e-tez tha lekin mujhe zawal aaya

ajab hua ki sitara-shanas se mil kar

shikast-e-anjum-e-nau-KHez ka KHayal aaya

main KHak-e-sard pe soya to mere pahlu mein

phir ek KHwab-e-shikast aaina-misal aaya

kaman-e-shaKH se gul kis hadaf ko jate hain

nasheb-e-KHak mein ja kar mujhe KHayal aaya

koi nahin tha magar sahil-e-tamanna par

hawa-e-sham mein jab rang-e-indimal aaya

yahi hai wasl dil-e-kam-muamla ke liye

ki aaine mein wo KHurshid-e-KHadd-o-KHal aaya
