jahan nigar-e-sahar pairahan utarti hai

jahāñ nigār-e-sahar pairahan utārtī hai

vahīñ pe raat sitāroñ kā khel hārtī hai

shab-e-visāl tire dil ke saath lag kar bhī

mirī luTī huī duniyā tujhe pukārtī hai

shumār-e-shauq meñ uljhī huī shuā-e-nazar

hazār rūThte rañgoñ ke ruup dhārtī hai

ufuq se phūTte mahtāb kī mahak jaise

sukūn-e-bahr meñ ik lahar sī ubhārtī hai

pas-e-darīcha-e-dil yād-e-bū-e-jū-e-nashāt

na jaane kab se khaḌī kākuleñ sañvārtī hai

dar-e-umīd se ho kar nikalne lagtā huuñ

to yaas rauzan-e-zindāñ se aañkh mārtī hai

jahāñ se kuchh na mile husn-e-māzarat ke sivā

ye aarzū usī chaukhaT pe shab guzārtī hai

jo ek jism jalātī hai barq-e-abr-e-ḳhayāl

to laakh zañg-zada aa.ine nikhārtī hai

jahan nigar-e-sahar pairahan utarti hai

wahin pe raat sitaron ka khel haarti hai

shab-e-visal tere dil ke sath lag kar bhi

meri luTi hui duniya tujhe pukarti hai

shumar-e-shauq mein uljhi hui shua-e-nazar

hazar ruThte rangon ke rup dhaarti hai

ufuq se phuTte mahtab ki mahak jaise

sukun-e-bahr mein ek lahar si ubhaarti hai

pas-e-daricha-e-dil yaad-e-bu-e-ju-e-nashat

na jaane kab se khaDi kakulen sanwarti hai

dar-e-umid se ho kar nikalne lagta hun

to yas rauzan-e-zindan se aankh marti hai

jahan se kuchh na mile husn-e-mazarat ke siwa

ye aarzu usi chaukhaT pe shab guzarti hai

jo ek jism jalati hai barq-e-abr-e-KHayal

to lakh zang-zada aaine nikhaarti hai
