jab aah bhi chup ho to ye sahrai kare kya

jab aah bhī chup ho to ye sahrā.ī kare kyā

sar phoḌe na ḳhud se to ye tanhā.ī kare kyā

guzrī jo idhar se to ghuTan se ye maregī

habs-e-dil-e-vahshī meñ ye purvā.ī kare kyā

kahtī hai jo kahne do ye duniyā mujhe kyā hai

zindāni-e-ehsās meñ rusvā.ī kare kyā

har husn o adā dhañs ga.e ā.īne ke andar

jab raakh hoñ āñkheñ to ye zebā.ī kare kyā

vo zaḳhm ki har lams nayā zaḳhm lage hai

bīmāri-e-idrāk masīhā.ī kare kyā

pal bhar ko ye saudā-e-junūñ kam nahīñ hotā

shahroñ ke takalluf meñ ye saudā.ī kare kyā

jab aah bhi chup ho to ye sahrai kare kya

sar phoDe na KHud se to ye tanhai kare kya

guzri jo idhar se to ghuTan se ye maregi

habs-e-dil-e-wahshi mein ye purwai kare kya

kahti hai jo kahne do ye duniya mujhe kya hai

zindani-e-ehsas mein ruswai kare kya

har husn o ada dhans gae aaine ke andar

jab rakh hon aankhen to ye zebai kare kya

wo zaKHm ki har lams naya zaKHm lage hai

bimari-e-idrak masihai kare kya

pal bhar ko ye sauda-e-junun kam nahin hota

shahron ke takalluf mein ye saudai kare kya
