lakh gham sine se lipTe rahe nagan ki tarah

laakh ġham siine se lipTe rahe nāgan kī tarah

pyaar sachchā thā mahaktā rahā chandan kī tarah

tujh ko pahchān liyā hai tujhe pā bhī lūñgā

ik janam aur mile gar isī jīvan kī tarah

ab koī kaise pahuñch pā.egā tere ġham tak

muskurāhaT kī ridā Daal dī chilman kī tarah

koī tahrīr nahīñ hai jise paḌh le koī

zindagī ho ga.ī be-nām sī uljhan kī tarah

jaise dhartī kī kisī shai se ta.alluq hī nahīñ

ho gayā pyaar tirā bhī tire dāman kī tarah

shaam jab raat kī mahfil meñ qadam rakhtī hai

bhartī hai maañg meñ sindūr suhāgan kī tarah

muskurāte ho magar soch lo itnā ai 'nūr'

suud letī masarrat bhī mahājan kī tarah

lakh gham sine se lipTe rahe nagan ki tarah

pyar sachcha tha mahakta raha chandan ki tarah

tujh ko pahchan liya hai tujhe pa bhi lunga

ek janam aur mile gar isi jiwan ki tarah

ab koi kaise pahunch paega tere gham tak

muskurahaT ki rida Dal di chilman ki tarah

koi tahrir nahin hai jise paDh le koi

zindagi ho gai be-nam si uljhan ki tarah

jaise dharti ki kisi shai se talluq hi nahin

ho gaya pyar tera bhi tere daman ki tarah

sham jab raat ki mahfil mein qadam rakhti hai

bharti hai mang mein sindur suhagan ki tarah

muskuraate ho magar soch lo itna ai 'nur'

sud leti masarrat bhi mahajan ki tarah
