daraaz-dast ko dast-e-ata kahin na mila
darāz-dast ko dast-e-atā kahīñ na milā
baḳhīl-e-shahr thā hājat-ravā kahīñ na milā
fasīl-e-shab pe sahar kā diyā jalātā kaun
ki koī shaḳhs mujhe jāgtā kahīñ na milā
lahū kī aag thī raushan har ik hathelī par
kisī bhī haath pe rañg-e-hinā kahīñ na milā
girā ḳhud apnī nazar se to pūchhtā phir kaun
ḳhudī gañvā.ī to mujh ko ḳhudā kahīñ na milā
sabhī the apne ḳhudāoñ se bad-gumāñ shāyad
kisī zabān pe harf-e-duā kahīñ na milā
daraaz-dast ko dast-e-ata kahin na mila
baKHil-e-shahr tha hajat-rawa kahin na mila
fasil-e-shab pe sahar ka diya jalata kaun
ki koi shaKHs mujhe jagta kahin na mila
lahu ki aag thi raushan har ek hatheli par
kisi bhi hath pe rang-e-hina kahin na mila
gira KHud apni nazar se to puchhta phir kaun
KHudi ganwai to mujh ko KHuda kahin na mila
sabhi the apne KHudaon se bad-guman shayad
kisi zaban pe harf-e-dua kahin na mila
