bhul na usko dhun hai jidhar ki chaunk musafir raat nahin hai

bhuul na us ko dhun hai jidhar kī chauñk musāfir raat nahīñ hai

shakl numāyāñ hogī sahar kī chauñk musāfir raat nahīñ hai

āñkheñ malte sehn-e-chaman meñ jhuum ke uTThe niiñd ke maate

dekh sabā ne aa ke ḳhabar kī chauñk musāfir raat nahīñ hai

niile niile rañg ke uupar baḌhtī hī jaatī hai safedī

ho ga.ī rañgat zar-o-qamar kī chauñk musāfir raat nahīñ hai

zor na tāqat sañg na sāthī paañv se apne aap hai chalnā

tujh pe hai bhārī rāh-e-safar kī chauñk musāfir raat nahīñ hai

tujh pe maiñ qurbāñ jaanī pyāre ham-nafas-o-ham-dard hamāre

tujh se hai ulfat maiñ ne ḳhabar kī chauñk musāfir raat nahīñ hai

pañkh-pakherū ḳhvāb se chauñke sab ne ḳhushī ke na.are maare

aa.ī sadā murġhān-e-sahar kī chauñk musāfir raat nahīñ hai

kuuch kī saa.at aa ga.ī sar par 'shād' uThā le jholī-bistar

niiñd meñ saarī raat basar kī chauñk musāfir raat nahīñ hai

bhul na us ko dhun hai jidhar ki chaunk musafir raat nahin hai

shakl numayan hogi sahar ki chaunk musafir raat nahin hai

aankhen malte sehn-e-chaman mein jhum ke uTThe nind ke mate

dekh saba ne aa ke KHabar ki chaunk musafir raat nahin hai

nile nile rang ke upar baDhti hi jati hai safedi

ho gai rangat zar-o-qamar ki chaunk musafir raat nahin hai

zor na taqat sang na sathi panw se apne aap hai chalna

tujh pe hai bhaari rah-e-safar ki chaunk musafir raat nahin hai

tujh pe main qurban jaani pyare ham-nafas-o-ham-dard hamare

tujh se hai ulfat main ne KHabar ki chaunk musafir raat nahin hai

pankh-pakheru KHwab se chaunke sab ne KHushi ke nare mare

aai sada murghan-e-sahar ki chaunk musafir raat nahin hai

kuch ki saat aa gai sar par 'shad' uTha le jholi-bistar

nind mein sari raat basar ki chaunk musafir raat nahin hai
