dair-o-haram bhi aae kai is safar ke bich

dair-o-haram bhī aa.e ka.ī is safar ke biich

merī jabīn-e-shauq tire sañg-e-dar ke biich

kuchh lazzat-e-gunāh bhī hai kuchh ḳhudā kā ḳhauf

insān jī rahā hai isī ḳhair-o-shar ke biich

ye ḳhvāhish-e-visāl hai yā hijr kā sulūk

chuTkī sī lī hai dard ne aa kar jigar ke biich

bichhḌe to ye malāl kī sauġhāt bhī milī

tākīd thī ḳhayāl na aa.e safar ke biich

ḳhushbū kī tarah lafz the ma.anī ba-qaid-e-rañg

ye marhale bhī aa.e haiñ arz-e-hunar ke biich

dulhan banī thī 'āshā' vo shab yaad hai mujhe

gum the mire havās hujūm-e-nazar ke biich

dair-o-haram bhi aae kai is safar ke bich

meri jabin-e-shauq tere sang-e-dar ke bich

kuchh lazzat-e-gunah bhi hai kuchh KHuda ka KHauf

insan ji raha hai isi KHair-o-shar ke bich

ye KHwahish-e-visal hai ya hijr ka suluk

chuTki si li hai dard ne aa kar jigar ke bich

bichhDe to ye malal ki saughat bhi mili

takid thi KHayal na aae safar ke bich

KHushbu ki tarah lafz the mani ba-qaid-e-rang

ye marhale bhi aae hain arz-e-hunar ke bich

dulhan bani thi 'asha' wo shab yaad hai mujhe

gum the mere hawas hujum-e-nazar ke bich
