mah-e-kaamil ne munh ki khai hai

māh-e-kāmil ne muñh kī khaa.ī hai

aañkh jab aap se milā.ī hai

un kī zulf-e-siyāh kyā kahnā

ek kaalī ghaTā hai chhā.ī hai

aa ga.e aap jab tasavvur meñ

zindagī zindagī ne paa.ī hai

jitnā chāheñ satā.eñ dil merā

in butoñ kī abhī ḳhudā.ī hai

ḳhush-nasībī hai maut kī lā-raib

un ke āġhosh meñ jo aa.ī hai

jab bhī rakkhī binā nasheman kī

ḳhaak karne ko barq aa.ī hai

un ke dāman pe ashk-e-ġham mere

azmat-e-be-panāh paa.ī hai

uTh ga.e sab hijāb nazroñ ke

mujh ko saaqī ne vo pilā.ī hai

koī batlā.e in butoñ ne kahīñ

rasm-e-ulfat kabhī nibhā.ī hai

koī parvāna jal gayā shāyad

sham.a kī lau jo thar tharrā.ī hai

vo pilā de ai pīr-e-mai-ḳhāna

ḳhaas kar chhan ke mai jo aa.ī hai

mah-e-kaamil ne munh ki khai hai

aankh jab aap se milai hai

un ki zulf-e-siyah kya kahna

ek kali ghaTa hai chhai hai

aa gae aap jab tasawwur mein

zindagi zindagi ne pai hai

jitna chahen sataen dil mera

in buton ki abhi KHudai hai

KHush-nasibi hai maut ki la-raib

un ke aaghosh mein jo aai hai

jab bhi rakkhi bina nasheman ki

KHak karne ko barq aai hai

un ke daman pe ashk-e-gham mere

azmat-e-be-panah pai hai

uTh gae sab hijab nazron ke

mujh ko saqi ne wo pilai hai

koi batlae in buton ne kahin

rasm-e-ulfat kabhi nibhai hai

koi parwana jal gaya shayad

shama ki lau jo thar tharrai hai

wo pila de ai pir-e-mai-KHana

KHas kar chhan ke mai jo aai hai
