rokta hai gham-e-izhaar se pindar mujhe

roktā hai ġham-e-iz.hār se pindār mujhe

mere ashkoñ se chhupā le mire ruḳhsār mujhe

dekh ai dasht-e-junūñ bhed na khulne paa.e

DhūñDne aa.e haiñ ghar ke dar-o-dīvār mujhe

sī diye hoñT usī shaḳhs kī majbūrī ne

jis kī qurbat ne kiyā mahram-e-asrār mujhe

merī āñkhoñ kī taraf dekh rahe haiñ anjum

jaise pahchān ga.ī rūh-e-shab-tār mujhe

jins-e-vīrāni-e-sahrā merī dūkān meñ hai

kyā ḳharīdegā tire shahr kā bāzār mujhe

jaras-e-gul ne ka.ī baar pukārā lekin

le ga.ī raah se zanjīr kī jhankār mujhe

nāvak-e-zulm uThā dashna-e-andoh sañbhāl

lutf ke ḳhanjar-e-be-nām se mat maar mujhe

saarī duniyā meñ ghanī raat kā sannāTā thā

sehn-e-zindāñ meñ mile sub.h ke āsār mujhe

rokta hai gham-e-izhaar se pindar mujhe

mere ashkon se chhupa le mere ruKHsar mujhe

dekh ai dasht-e-junun bhed na khulne pae

DhunDne aae hain ghar ke dar-o-diwar mujhe

si diye honT usi shaKHs ki majburi ne

jis ki qurbat ne kiya mahram-e-asrar mujhe

meri aankhon ki taraf dekh rahe hain anjum

jaise pahchan gai ruh-e-shab-tar mujhe

jins-e-virani-e-sahra meri dukan mein hai

kya KHaridega tere shahr ka bazar mujhe

jaras-e-gul ne kai bar pukara lekin

le gai rah se zanjir ki jhankar mujhe

nawak-e-zulm uTha dashna-e-andoh sanbhaal

lutf ke KHanjar-e-be-nam se mat mar mujhe

sari duniya mein ghani raat ka sannaTa tha

sehn-e-zindan mein mile subh ke aasar mujhe
