kas-o-na-kas hain bahut dast-e-talab ke aage

kas-o-nā-kas haiñ bahut dast-e-talab ke aage

sar-e-pindār jhukā jaatā hai sab ke aage

mujh se vābasta azal se hai yahī mauj-e-sarāb

kab se maiñ tishna-dahan huuñ tire lab ke aage

apne sūraj ko bhalā kis ke muqābil rakhiye

maañd paḌ jaate haiñ sab taab ke tab ke aage

aaj bhī huuñ maiñ isī girya-e-shab meñ mahsūr

jin ko jaanā thā vo sab jā chuke kab ke aage

bas isī vāste raushan hai ye ġham-ḳhāna-e-dil

ik sahar bhī hai kahīñ par mirī shab ke aage

aur kyā daulat-e-parvez milegī tujh ko

hech haiñ naqd-o-guhar sher-o-adab ke aage

kas-o-na-kas hain bahut dast-e-talab ke aage

sar-e-pindar jhuka jata hai sab ke aage

mujh se wabasta azal se hai yahi mauj-e-sarab

kab se main tishna-dahan hun tere lab ke aage

apne suraj ko bhala kis ke muqabil rakhiye

mand paD jate hain sab tab ke tab ke aage

aaj bhi hun main isi girya-e-shab mein mahsur

jin ko jaana tha wo sab ja chuke kab ke aage

bas isi waste raushan hai ye gham-KHana-e-dil

ek sahar bhi hai kahin par meri shab ke aage

aur kya daulat-e-parwez milegi tujh ko

hech hain naqd-o-guhar sher-o-adab ke aage
