ruKH tera mahtab ki surat

ruḳh tirā māhtāb kī sūrat

aañkh jām-e-sharāb kī sūrat

merī fikr-e-suḳhan bhī rañgīñ hai

tere husn-e-shabāb kī sūrat

merī āñkhoñ meñ aa ke bas jaao

ek rañgīn ḳhvāb kī sūrat

mere dil par muhīt ho jaao

kaif-e-jām-e-sharāb kī sūrat

mujh ko marġhūb hai tirī āvāz

naġhma-hā-e-rabāb kī sūrat

jin ke sar meñ havā samā.ī thī

miT ga.e vo habāb kī sūrat

un kī merī misāl hai 'sīmāb'

shabnam-o-āftāb kī sūrat

ruKH tera mahtab ki surat

aankh jam-e-sharab ki surat

meri fikr-e-suKHan bhi rangin hai

tere husn-e-shabab ki surat

meri aankhon mein aa ke bas jao

ek rangin KHwab ki surat

mere dil par muhit ho jao

kaif-e-jam-e-sharab ki surat

mujh ko marghub hai teri aawaz

naghma-ha-e-rabab ki surat

jin ke sar mein hawa samai thi

miT gae wo habab ki surat

un ki meri misal hai 'simab'
