ek aaine ke samne rakkha charagh ko
ik aa.ine ke sāmne rakkhā charāġh ko
maiñ chāhtā thā chehra dikhānā charāġh ko
kal shab udaas raushnī itnī burī lagī
maiñ ne uThā ke pheñk diyā thā charāġh ko
ḳhud-sozī karte dekh na paayā bujhā diyā
maiñ ne havā kī aañkh se dekhā charāġh ko
hamrāz tīrgī vahī hamrāz raushnī
jis ne tamām zindagī parkhā charāġh ko
taarā girā hai TuuT ke 'bābar' zamīn par
yā merī samt chāñd ne pheñkā charāġh ko
ek aaine ke samne rakkha charagh ko
main chahta tha chehra dikhana charagh ko
kal shab udas raushni itni buri lagi
main ne uTha ke phenk diya tha charagh ko
KHud-sozi karte dekh na paya bujha diya
main ne hawa ki aankh se dekha charagh ko
hamraaz tirgi wahi hamraaz raushni
jis ne tamam zindagi parkha charagh ko
tara gira hai TuT ke 'babar' zamin par
ya meri samt chand ne phenka charagh ko
