mahakte phul sitare damakta chand dhanak

ye bhī ejaaz mujhe ishq ne baḳhshā thā kabhī

us kī āvāz se maiñ diip jalā saktā thā

ye bhi ejaz mujhe ishq ne baKHsha tha kabhi

us ki aawaz se main dip jala sakta tha

mire charāġh kī lau meñ kamāl aisā thā

hawa ke hath pe chhaale hain aaj tak maujud

mere charagh ki lau mein kamal aisa tha

maiñ thā sadiyoñ ke safar meñ 'ahmad'

aur sadiyoñ kā safar thā mujh meñ

main tha sadiyon ke safar mein 'ahmad'

aur sadiyon ka safar tha mujh mein

ain mumkin hai ki bīnā.ī mujhe dhoka de

ye jo shabnam hai sharāra bhī to ho saktā hai

ain mumkin hai ki binai mujhe dhoka de

ye jo shabnam hai sharara bhi to ho sakta hai
