tanhai mein aksar yahi mahsus hua hai

tanhā.ī meñ aksar yahī mahsūs huā hai

jis tarah koī merī taraf dekh rahā hai

DhūñDā koī sāthī jo kabhī dasht-e-vafā meñ

ik apnā hī saaya mujhe har baar milā hai

siine meñ hai mahfūz matā-e-ġham-e-daurāñ

dībācha-e-ayyām mire dil pe likhā hai

aahaT sī shab-e-ġham jo tujhe dī hai sunā.ī

ai dil vo tire apne dhaḌakne kī sadā hai

ho ḳhair charāġhān-e-sar-e-rāhguzar kī

sunte haiñ bahut tez zamāne kī havā hai

yak-rañg kahāñ hotī hai insān kī fitrat

har phuul kī ḳhushbū hai alag rañg judā hai

maġhrūr na ho husn pe a sham-e-farozāñ

parvāne kī āñkhoñ meñ koī aur ziyā hai

niiñd aatī hai yazdānī-e-muztar ko sakūñ se

ye maut hai yā dost ke dāman kī havā hai

tanhai mein aksar yahi mahsus hua hai

jis tarah koi meri taraf dekh raha hai

DhunDa koi sathi jo kabhi dasht-e-wafa mein

ek apna hi saya mujhe har bar mila hai

sine mein hai mahfuz mata-e-gham-e-dauran

dibacha-e-ayyam mere dil pe likha hai

aahaT si shab-e-gham jo tujhe di hai sunai

ai dil wo tere apne dhaDakne ki sada hai

ho KHair charaghan-e-sar-e-rahguzar ki

sunte hain bahut tez zamane ki hawa hai

yak-rang kahan hoti hai insan ki fitrat

har phul ki KHushbu hai alag rang juda hai

maghrur na ho husn pe a sham-e-farozan

parwane ki aankhon mein koi aur ziya hai

nind aati hai yazdani-e-muztar ko sakun se

ye maut hai ya dost ke daman ki hawa hai
