shor-e-dariya hai kahani meri

shor-e-dariyā hai kahānī merī

paanī is kā hai ravānī merī

kuchh ziyāda hī bhalī lagtī hai

mujh ko tasvīr purānī merī

jab bhī ubhrā tirā mahtāb-e-ḳhayāl

khil uThī raat kī raanī merī

baḌh ke siine se lagā letā huuñ

jaise har ġham ho nishānī merī

mehrbāñ mujh pe hai ik shāḳh-e-gulāb

kaise mahke na javānī merī

phir tire zikr kī sarsoñ phūlī

phir ġhazal ho ga.ī dhānī merī

kuchh to a.amāl bure the apne

kuchh sitāroñ ne na maanī merī

likhī jā.egī tire barf ke naam

jo tamannā huī paanī merī

tum ne jo bhī kahā maiñ ne maanā

tum ne ik baat na maanī merī

muḳhtasar baat thī jaldī bhī thī kuchh

is pe kuchh zūd-bayānī merī

shor-e-dariya hai kahani meri

pani is ka hai rawani meri

kuchh ziyaada hi bhali lagti hai

mujh ko taswir purani meri

jab bhi ubhra tera mahtab-e-KHayal

khil uThi raat ki rani meri

baDh ke sine se laga leta hun

jaise har gham ho nishani meri

mehrban mujh pe hai ek shaKH-e-gulab

kaise mahke na jawani meri

phir tere zikr ki sarson phuli

phir ghazal ho gai dhani meri

kuchh to aamal bure the apne

kuchh sitaron ne na mani meri

likhi jaegi tere barf ke nam

jo tamanna hui pani meri

tum ne jo bhi kaha main ne mana

tum ne ek baat na mani meri

muKHtasar baat thi jaldi bhi thi kuchh

is pe kuchh zud-bayani meri
