jagmagati KHwahishon ka nur phaila raat bhar
jagmagātī ḳhvāhishoñ kā nuur phailā raat bhar
sehn-e-dil meñ vo gul-e-mahtāb bikhrā raat bhar
ek bhūlā vāqi.a jab daf.atan yaad aa gayā
ātish-e-zauq-e-talab ne phir jalāyā raat bhar
dostoñ ke saath din meñ baiTh kar hañstā rahā
apne kamre meñ vo jā kar ḳhuub royā raat bhar
niiñd ke sahrā meñ paanī kī tarah gum ho gayā
maiñ ne us ko ḳhvāb meñ har samt DhūñDā raat bhar
dhuup ke bādal baras kar jā chuke the aur maiñ
oḌh kar shabnam kī chādar chhat pe soyā raat bhar
niiñd kī komal fasīleñ āñdhiyoñ meñ bah ga.iiñ
maiñ ne apne ḳhvāb kī lāshoñ ko Dhoyā raat bhar
narm bistar par shikan kī kirchiyāñ bikhrī rahīñ
maiñ ne 'aslam' ik ajab sā ḳhvāb dekhā raat bhar
jagmagati KHwahishon ka nur phaila raat bhar
sehn-e-dil mein wo gul-e-mahtab bikhra raat bhar
ek bhula waqia jab dafatan yaad aa gaya
aatish-e-zauq-e-talab ne phir jalaya raat bhar
doston ke sath din mein baiTh kar hansta raha
apne kamre mein wo ja kar KHub roya raat bhar
nind ke sahra mein pani ki tarah gum ho gaya
main ne us ko KHwab mein har samt DhunDa raat bhar
dhup ke baadal baras kar ja chuke the aur main
oDh kar shabnam ki chadar chhat pe soya raat bhar
nind ki komal fasilen aandhiyon mein bah gain
main ne apne KHwab ki lashon ko Dhoya raat bhar
narm bistar par shikan ki kirchiyan bikhri rahin
main ne 'aslam' ek ajab sa KHwab dekha raat bhar
