Sher on Subah

raat aa kar guzar bhī jaatī hai

ik hamārī sahar nahīñ hotī

raat aa kar guzar bhi jati hai

ek hamari sahar nahin hoti

na.ī sub.h par nazar hai magar aah ye bhī Dar hai

ye sahar bhī rafta rafta kahīñ shaam tak na pahuñche

nai subh par nazar hai magar aah ye bhi Dar hai

ye sahar bhi rafta rafta kahin sham tak na pahunche

kaun sī baat na.ī ai dil-e-nākām huī

shaam se sub.h huī sub.h se phir shaam huī

kaun si baat nai ai dil-e-nakaam hui

sham se subh hui subh se phir sham hui

ham aise ahl-e-nazar ko subūt-e-haq ke liye

agar rasūl na hote to sub.h kaafī thī

hum aise ahl-e-nazar ko subut-e-haq ke liye

agar rasul na hote to subh kafi thi

ab aa ga.ī hai sahar apnā ghar sambhālne ko

chalūñ ki jaagā huā raat bhar kā maiñ bhī huuñ

ab aa gai hai sahar apna ghar sambhaalne ko

chalun ki jaga hua raat bhar ka main bhi hun

raushan-dān se dhuup kā TukḌā aa kar mere paas girā

aur phir sūraj ne koshish kī mujh se aañkh milāne kī

raushan-dan se dhup ka TukDa aa kar mere pas gira

aur phir suraj ne koshish ki mujh se aankh milane ki

rone vaale hue chup hijr kī duniyā badlī

sham.a be-nūr huī sub.h kā taarā niklā

rone wale hue chup hijr ki duniya badli

shama be-nur hui subh ka tara nikla

numūd-e-sub.h se shab kī vo tīrgī to ga.ī

ye aur baat ki sūraj meñ raushnī kam hai

numud-e-subh se shab ki wo tirgi to gai

ye aur baat ki suraj mein raushni kam hai

sub.h savere ran paḌnā hai aur ghamsān kā ran

rātoñ raat chalā jaa.e jis ko jaanā hai

subh sawere ran paDna hai aur ghamsan ka ran

raaton raat chala jae jis ko jaana hai
