kahūñ kis se raat kā mājrā na.e manzaroñ pe nigāh thī
na kisī kā dāman-e-chāk thā na kisī kī tarf-e-kulāh thī
ka.ī chāñd the sar-e-āsmāñ ki chamak chamak ke palaT ga.e
na lahū mire hī jigar meñ thā na tumhārī zulf siyāh thī
dil-e-kam-alam pe vo kaifiyat ki Thahar sake na guzar sake
na hazar hī rāhat-e-rūh thā na safar meñ rāmish raah thī
mire chār-dāñg thī jalvagar vahī lazzat-e-talab-e-sahar
magar ik ummīd-e-shikasta-par ki misāl-e-dard siyāh thī
vo jo raat mujh ko baḌe adab se salām kar ke chalā gayā
use kyā ḳhabar mire dil meñ bhī kabhī ārzū-e-gunāh thī
kahun kis se raat ka majra nae manzaron pe nigah thi
na kisi ka daman-e-chaak tha na kisi ki tarf-e-kulah thi
kai chand the sar-e-asman ki chamak chamak ke palaT gae
na lahu mere hi jigar mein tha na tumhaari zulf siyah thi
dil-e-kam-alam pe wo kaifiyat ki Thahar sake na guzar sake
na hazar hi rahat-e-ruh tha na safar mein ramish rah thi
mere chaar-dang thi jalwagar wahi lazzat-e-talab-e-sahar
magar ek ummid-e-shikasta-par ki misal-e-dard siyah thi
wo jo raat mujh ko baDe adab se salam kar ke chala gaya
use kya KHabar mere dil mein bhi kabhi aarzu-e-gunah thi
