chandni mein ruKH-e-zeba nahin dekha jata
chāñdnī meñ ruḳh-e-zebā nahīñ dekhā jaatā
maah o ḳhurshīd ko yakjā nahīñ dekhā jaatā
yuuñ to un āñkhoñ se kyā kyā nahīñ dekhā jaatā
haañ magar apnā hī jalva nahīñ dekhā jaatā
dīda-o-dil kī tabāhī mujhe manzūr magar
un kā utrā huā chehra nahīñ dekhā jaatā
zabt-e-ġham haañ vahī ashkoñ kā talātum ik baar
ab to sūkhā huā dariyā nahīñ dekhā jaatā
zindagī aa tujhe qātil ke havāle kar duuñ
mujh se ab ḳhūn-e-tamannā nahīñ dekhā jaatā
ab to jhūTī bhī tasallī ba-sar-o-chashm qubūl
dil kā rah rah ke taḌapnā nahīñ dekhā jaatā
chandni mein ruKH-e-zeba nahin dekha jata
mah o KHurshid ko yakja nahin dekha jata
yun to un aankhon se kya kya nahin dekha jata
han magar apna hi jalwa nahin dekha jata
dida-o-dil ki tabahi mujhe manzur magar
un ka utra hua chehra nahin dekha jata
zabt-e-gham han wahi ashkon ka talatum ek bar
ab to sukha hua dariya nahin dekha jata
zindagi aa tujhe qatil ke hawale kar dun
mujh se ab KHun-e-tamanna nahin dekha jata
ab to jhuTi bhi tasalli ba-sar-o-chashm qubul
dil ka rah rah ke taDapna nahin dekha jata
