ek neamat tere mahjur ke hath aai hai

ek ne.amat tire mahjūr ke haath aa.ī hai

iid kā chāñd charāġh-e-shab-e-tanhā.ī hai

qaid meñ bas ye koī kah de bahār aa.ī hai

phir to maiñ huuñ mirī zanjīr hai añgḌā.ī hai

kitnā dilchasp hai allāh mirā qissa-e-ġham

aaj koī nahīñ kahtā mujhe niiñd aa.ī hai

zahr aur zahr kī tāsīr batāne vaale

ab samajh le ki na saudā hai na saudā.ī hai

sub.h tak hogā mire ghar pe hujūm-e-ḳhilqat

raat kī raat faqat ālam-e-tanhā.ī hai

dāman-o-jeb-o-garebāñ bhī nisār-e-vahshat

ab kisī baat meñ zillat hai na rusvā.ī hai

do ghaḌī dil ke bahalne kā sahārā bhī gayā

lījiye aaj tasavvur meñ bhī tanhā.ī hai

muddateñ guzrīñ hameñ ashk bahāte 'manzar'

aaj ḳhud us ne hañsāyā to hañsī aa.ī hai

ek neamat tere mahjur ke hath aai hai

id ka chand charagh-e-shab-e-tanhai hai

qaid mein bas ye koi kah de bahaar aai hai

phir to main hun meri zanjir hai angDai hai

kitna dilchasp hai allah mera qissa-e-gham

aaj koi nahin kahta mujhe nind aai hai

zahr aur zahr ki tasir batane wale

ab samajh le ki na sauda hai na saudai hai

subh tak hoga mere ghar pe hujum-e-KHilqat

raat ki raat faqat aalam-e-tanhai hai

daman-o-jeb-o-gareban bhi nisar-e-wahshat

ab kisi baat mein zillat hai na ruswai hai

do ghaDi dil ke bahalne ka sahaara bhi gaya

lijiye aaj tasawwur mein bhi tanhai hai

muddaten guzrin hamein ashk bahate 'manzar'

aaj KHud us ne hansaya to hansi aai hai
