nahin milte wo ab to kya baat hai

nahīñ milte vo ab to kyā baat hai

yahāñ ḳhud se bhī kab mulāqāt he

tire dhyān ke sab ujāle ga.e

bas ab ham haiñ aur dukh bharī raat hai

hamārī taraf bhī kabhī ik nigāh

hameñ bhī bahut nashsha-e-zāt hai

sulagtā huā din jo kaT bhī gayā

to phir aañch detī huī raat hai

shikāyat kisī se to kyā thī magar

gila ek rasm-e-ḳharābāt hai

nayā dukh to miltā hai kis ko yahāñ

magar ġham kī har shab na.ī raat hai

har ik shaam taaza umīd-e-visāl

har ik roz roz-e-mukāfāt hai

nahin milte wo ab to kya baat hai

yahan KHud se bhi kab mulaqat he

tere dhyan ke sab ujale gae

bas ab hum hain aur dukh bhari raat hai

hamari taraf bhi kabhi ek nigah

hamein bhi bahut nashsha-e-zat hai

sulagta hua din jo kaT bhi gaya

to phir aanch deti hui raat hai

shikayat kisi se to kya thi magar

gila ek rasm-e-KHarabaat hai

naya dukh to milta hai kis ko yahan

magar gham ki har shab nai raat hai

har ek sham taza umid-e-visal

har ek roz roz-e-mukafat hai
