aankhon mein shab utar gai KHwabon ka silsila raha

āñkhoñ meñ shab utar ga.ī ḳhvāboñ kā silsila rahā

maiñ ḳhud ko dekhtā rahā maiñ ḳhud ko sochtā rahā

ḳhud ko pukārtā rahā, koī ḳhabar nahīñ milī

kis kī ḳhabar nahīñ milī, kis ko pukārtā rahā

us kī talāsh hī na thii, apnī talāsh bhī na thī

khone kā ḳhauf kuchh na thaa, phir kaisā fāsla rahā

kuchh mas.ale to ghar ga.e, kuchh mas.ale bikhar ga.e

sab mas.ale guzar ga.e aur ek mas.ala rahā

vo bhī bikhar bikhar gayā maiñ bhī idhar udhar gayā

vo bhī dhuāñ dhuāñ sā kuchh maiñ bhī ġhubār sā rahā

lafzoñ kī shāḳheñ phail kar mere lahū se aa milīñ

kuchh qahqahe uchhal ga.e aur koī chīḳhtā rahā

aankhon mein shab utar gai KHwabon ka silsila raha

main KHud ko dekhta raha main KHud ko sochta raha

KHud ko pukarta raha, koi KHabar nahin mili

kis ki KHabar nahin mili, kis ko pukarta raha

us ki talash hi na thi, apni talash bhi na thi

khone ka KHauf kuchh na tha, phir kaisa fasla raha

kuchh masale to ghar gae, kuchh masale bikhar gae

sab masale guzar gae aur ek masala raha

wo bhi bikhar bikhar gaya main bhi idhar udhar gaya

wo bhi dhuan dhuan sa kuchh main bhi ghubar sa raha

lafzon ki shaKHen phail kar mere lahu se aa milin

kuchh qahqahe uchhal gae aur koi chiKHta raha
