azab-e-did mein aankhen lahu lahu kar ke

azāb-e-dīd meñ āñkheñ lahū lahū kar ke

maiñ sharmsār huā terī justujū kar ke

khañDar kī tah se burīda-badan saroñ ke sivā

milā na kuchh bhī ḳhazānoñ kī aarzū kar ke

sunā hai shahr meñ zaḳhmī diloñ kā mela hai

chaleñge ham bhī magar pairahan rafū kar ke

masāfat-e-shab-e-hijrāñ ke baa'd bhed khulā

havā dukhī hai charāġhoñ kī aabrū kar ke

zamīñ kī pyaas usī ke lahū ko chaaT ga.ī

vo ḳhush huā thā samundar ko aabjū kar ke

ye kis ne ham se lahū kā ḳhirāj phir māñgā

abhī to so.e the maqtal ko surḳh-rū kar ke

julūs-e-ahl-e-vafā kis ke dar pe pahuñchā hai

nishān-e-tauq-e-vafā zīnat-e-gulū kar ke

ujaaḌ rut ko gulābī banā.e rakhtī hai

hamārī aañkh tirī diid se vuzū kar ke

koī to habs-e-havā se ye pūchhtā 'mohsin'

milā hai kyā use kaliyoñ ko be-numū kar ke

azab-e-did mein aankhen lahu lahu kar ke

main sharmsar hua teri justuju kar ke

khanDar ki tah se burida-badan saron ke siwa

mila na kuchh bhi KHazanon ki aarzu kar ke

suna hai shahr mein zaKHmi dilon ka mela hai

chalenge hum bhi magar pairahan rafu kar ke

masafat-e-shab-e-hijran ke ba'd bhed khula

hawa dukhi hai charaghon ki aabru kar ke

zamin ki pyas usi ke lahu ko chaT gai

wo KHush hua tha samundar ko aabju kar ke

ye kis ne hum se lahu ka KHiraj phir manga

abhi to soe the maqtal ko surKH-ru kar ke

julus-e-ahl-e-wafa kis ke dar pe pahuncha hai

nishan-e-tauq-e-wafa zinat-e-gulu kar ke

ujaD rut ko gulabi banae rakhti hai

hamari aankh teri did se wuzu kar ke

koi to habs-e-hawa se ye puchhta 'mohsin'

mila hai kya use kaliyon ko be-numu kar ke
