chand bhi nikla sitare bhi barabar nikle

chāñd bhī niklā sitāre bhī barābar nikle

mujh se achchhe to shab-e-ġham ke muqaddar nikle

shaam hote hī barasne lage kaale bādal

sub.h-dam log darīchoñ meñ khule sar nikle

kal hī jin ko tirī palkoñ pe kahīñ dekhā thā

raat usī tarah ke taare mirī chhat par nikle

dhuup sāvan kī bahut tez hai dil Dūbtā hai

us se kah do ki abhī ghar se na bāhar nikle

pyaar kī shāḳh to jaldī hī samar le aa.ī

dard ke phuul baḌī der meñ jā kar nikle

dil-e-hañgāma-talab ye bhī ḳhabar hai tujh ko

muddateñ ho ga.iiñ ik shaḳhs ko bāhar nikle

chand bhi nikla sitare bhi barabar nikle

mujh se achchhe to shab-e-gham ke muqaddar nikle

sham hote hi barasne lage kale baadal

subh-dam log darichon mein khule sar nikle

kal hi jin ko teri palkon pe kahin dekha tha

raat usi tarah ke tare meri chhat par nikle

dhup sawan ki bahut tez hai dil Dubta hai

us se kah do ki abhi ghar se na bahar nikle

pyar ki shaKH to jaldi hi samar le aai

dard ke phul baDi der mein ja kar nikle

dil-e-hangama-talab ye bhi KHabar hai tujh ko

muddaten ho gain ek shaKHs ko bahar nikle
