hijr ki shab zulf-e-barham ka KHayal aata raha

hijr kī shab zulf-e-barham kā ḳhayāl aatā rahā

ik na ik har din mire sar par vabāl aatā rahā

shukr hai tārīk dil meñ raushnī ke vāste

go tasavvur meñ sahī us kā jamāl aatā rahā

hai karam us kā ki ham se be-basar ke vāste

ālam-e-amsāl meñ vo be-misāl aatā rahā

bhūlne vaale ko āḳhir dil bhulā.e kis tarah

be-ḳhayālī meñ bhī jab us kā ḳhayāl aatā rahā

maiñ ne apnī ḳhastagī kī daad paa.ī is tarah

mere arz-e-hāl par un ko jalāl aatā rahā

bas yahī kyā kam hai merī sāf-goī kī dalīl

un ke dil meñ merī jānib se malāl aatā rahā

kyā bigaḌ jaatā jo ho jaatī tavajjoh kī nazar

muddatoñ dar par gadā-e-be-savāl aatā rahā

mujh ko 'beḳhud' jab kabhī aayā hai tauba kā ḳhayāl

der tak apne gunāhoñ kā ḳhayāl aatā rahā

hijr ki shab zulf-e-barham ka KHayal aata raha

ek na ek har din mere sar par wabaal aata raha

shukr hai tarik dil mein raushni ke waste

go tasawwur mein sahi us ka jamal aata raha

hai karam us ka ki hum se be-basar ke waste

aalam-e-amsal mein wo be-misal aata raha

bhulne wale ko aaKHir dil bhulae kis tarah

be-KHayali mein bhi jab us ka KHayal aata raha

main ne apni KHastagi ki dad pai is tarah

mere arz-e-haal par un ko jalal aata raha

bas yahi kya kam hai meri saf-goi ki dalil

un ke dil mein meri jaanib se malal aata raha

kya bigaD jata jo ho jati tawajjoh ki nazar

muddaton dar par gada-e-be-sawal aata raha

mujh ko 'beKHud' jab kabhi aaya hai tauba ka KHayal

der tak apne gunahon ka KHayal aata raha
