tu hi anis-e-gham raha nala-e-gham-gusar-e-shab

tū hī anīs-e-ġham rahā nāla-e-ġham-gusār-e-shab

yās-pasand jab huā bismil-e-intizār-e-shab

rañg-e-shikast kyuuñ na ho hāl-e-umīd-vār-e-shab

tū hī to ishva-gar huā bā.is-e-intishār-e-shab

shauq-e-liqā-e-rū-e-yār chashm-ba-rāh-e-intizār

āh-e-sahar se jā milā dīda-e-ashk-bār-e-shab

dard-e-shakeb-soz hai karb vahī hanūz hai

dekh na ho vo bevafā aaj kahīñ nisār-e-shab

lail-o-nahār sāzgār apne kabhī nahīñ hue

dekhte kaash ai nigār va.ada-e-ustuvār-e-shab

bahr-e-ḳhudā kabhī to kar shaad shahīd-e-shauq ko

roz-e-sa.īd hai vahī yaar jo tū ho yār-e-shab

vaqfa-e-umr ek dam haif hai vo bhī sarf-e-ġham

kis ko hai e'timād-e-roz kis ko hai e'tibār-e-shab

din ko ḳhayāl vasl kā raat ko dard-e-hijr hai

shaġhl vo roz kā huā aur ye kārobār-e-shab

ye shab-e-māhtāb hai saaf hameñ javāb hai

māh-laqā haiñ muntazir mil ke dikhā bahār-e-shab

hasrat-e-ishtiyāq ne aaj kiyā shahīd-e-hijr

mere dil-e-nigār kā dekh to le mazār-e-shab

bāb-e-qubūl-e-mudda.ā dā.ī-e-ḳhair hai tirā

ho dil-e-shab meñ nāla-kash ai dil-e-be-qarār-e-shab

ab nahīñ vaqf-e-intizār raat ko mil gayā nigār

merā karīm-e-kār-sāz ho gayā pardār-e-shab

dam-kash-e-aish-o-ḳhurramī thā ye firāq-e-sonā-soz

daur-e-nashāt ho gayā shukr hai ham-kanār-e-shab

ba.ad-e-firāq rañg-e-vasl hotā hai 'ain imbisāt

merā vo rāhat-e-ravāñ dil se huā do-chār-e-shab

is kā shi'ār kyuuñ na ho pās-e-hijāb-e-āshiqāñ

shab hai hamārī rāzdāñ ham jo haiñ rāzdār-e-shab

chhup na sakā hijāb meñ ishva-e-husn-e-ḳhud-numa

aayā jo maah oḌh kar chādar-e-zar-nigār-e-shab

jaam sharāb-e-shauq kā detā hai shoḳh māh-rū

mast-e-surūr kyuuñ na hoñ 'sāqī' mai-gusār-e-shab

tu hi anis-e-gham raha nala-e-gham-gusar-e-shab

yas-pasand jab hua bismil-e-intizar-e-shab

rang-e-shikast kyun na ho haal-e-umid-war-e-shab

tu hi to ishwa-gar hua bais-e-intishaar-e-shab

shauq-e-liqa-e-ru-e-yar chashm-ba-rah-e-intizar

aah-e-sahar se ja mila dida-e-ashk-bar-e-shab

dard-e-shakeb-soz hai karb wahi hanuz hai

dekh na ho wo bewafa aaj kahin nisar-e-shab

lail-o-nahaar sazgar apne kabhi nahin hue

dekhte kash ai nigar wada-e-ustuwar-e-shab

bahr-e-KHuda kabhi to kar shad shahid-e-shauq ko

roz-e-said hai wahi yar jo tu ho yar-e-shab

waqfa-e-umr ek dam haif hai wo bhi sarf-e-gham

kis ko hai e'timad-e-roz kis ko hai e'tibar-e-shab

din ko KHayal wasl ka raat ko dard-e-hijr hai

shaghl wo roz ka hua aur ye karobar-e-shab

ye shab-e-mahtab hai saf hamein jawab hai

mah-laqa hain muntazir mil ke dikha bahaar-e-shab

hasrat-e-ishtiyaq ne aaj kiya shahid-e-hijr

mere dil-e-nigar ka dekh to le mazar-e-shab

bab-e-qubul-e-muddaa dai-e-KHair hai tera

ho dil-e-shab mein nala-kash ai dil-e-be-qarar-e-shab

ab nahin waqf-e-intizar raat ko mil gaya nigar

mera karim-e-kar-saz ho gaya pardar-e-shab

dam-kash-e-aish-o-KHurrami tha ye firaq-e-sona-soz

daur-e-nashat ho gaya shukr hai ham-kanar-e-shab

baad-e-firaq rang-e-wasl hota hai 'ain imbisat

mera wo rahat-e-rawan dil se hua do-chaar-e-shab

is ka shi'ar kyun na ho pas-e-hijab-e-ashiqan

shab hai hamari raazdan hum jo hain raazdar-e-shab

chhup na saka hijab mein ishwa-e-husn-e-KHud-numa

aaya jo mah oDh kar chadar-e-zar-nigar-e-shab

jam sharab-e-shauq ka deta hai shoKH mah-ru

mast-e-surur kyun na hon 'saqi' mai-gusar-e-shab
