roz tabdil hua hai mere dil ka mausam

roz tabdīl huā hai mire dil kā mausam

roz kamre meñ mire sard havā aa.ī hai

fikr kī aañch meñ pighle to ye mā'lūm huā

kitne pardoñ meñ chhupī zaat kī sachchā.ī hai

roz āñkhoñ meñ utar jaatā hai ḳhanjar koī

in dinoñ ahl-e-nazar ko ġham-e-bīnā.ī hai

mere chehre se jo paḌh sakte ho paḌh lo yaaro

dil kī har baat mire lab pe kahāñ aa.ī hai

apne kāñdhe pe liye phirtī hai ehsās kā bojh

zindagī kyā kisī maqtal kī tamannā.ī hai

kyuuñ na 'tanvīr' phir iz.hār kī jur.at kiije

ḳhāmushī bhī to yahāñ bā.is-e-rusvā.ī hai

roz tabdil hua hai mere dil ka mausam

roz kamre mein mere sard hawa aai hai

fikr ki aanch mein pighle to ye ma'lum hua

kitne pardon mein chhupi zat ki sachchai hai

roz aankhon mein utar jata hai KHanjar koi

in dinon ahl-e-nazar ko gham-e-binai hai

mere chehre se jo paDh sakte ho paDh lo yaro

dil ki har baat mere lab pe kahan aai hai

apne kandhe pe liye phirti hai ehsas ka bojh

zindagi kya kisi maqtal ki tamannai hai

kyun na 'tanwir' phir izhaar ki jurat kije

KHamushi bhi to yahan bais-e-ruswai hai
