parchhaiyon ki baat na kar rang-e-haal dekh

parchhā.iyoñ kī baat na kar rañg-e-hāl dekh

āñkhoñ se ab havā-o-havas kā ma.aal dekh

do sher jis ke qahr kī jañgal meñ dhuum thī

merī nashist-gāh meñ ab us kī khaal dekh

ḳhushbū kī tarah guuñj uThā harf-e-āgahī

ai dil zarā hisār-e-nafas kā zavāl dekh

tujh se qarīb aa.e to apnī ḳhabar na thī

duurī kā ye azaab ba-rañg-e-visāl dekh

bujhtī huī sadā kī tarah ḳhud meñ Duub jā

pesh-e-nigāh jab bhī tamannā kā jaal dekh

palkoñ meñ tez dhuup kā manzar sameT le

phir kāsa-e-badan meñ lahū kā ubaal dekh

parchhaiyon ki baat na kar rang-e-haal dekh

aankhon se ab hawa-o-hawas ka maal dekh

do sher jis ke qahr ki jangal mein dhum thi

meri nashist-gah mein ab us ki khaal dekh

KHushbu ki tarah gunj uTha harf-e-agahi

ai dil zara hisar-e-nafas ka zawal dekh

tujh se qarib aae to apni KHabar na thi

duri ka ye azab ba-rang-e-visal dekh

bujhti hui sada ki tarah KHud mein Dub ja

pesh-e-nigah jab bhi tamanna ka jal dekh

palkon mein tez dhup ka manzar sameT le

phir kasa-e-badan mein lahu ka ubaal dekh
