unki ruKHsat ek qayamat thi dam-e-izhaar-e-subh

un kī ruḳhsat ik qayāmat thī dam-e-iz.hār-e-sub.h

shaam tak bachtā nazar aatā nahīñ bīmār-e-sub.h

mujh ko bhī ai sham.a ro le vasl kī shab hai aḳhīr

aur do aañsū bahā ai kushta-e-āzār-e-sub.h

kho diyā tūl-e-shab-e-furqat ne lutf-e-intizār

dīda-e-be-ḳhvāb ko hai hasrat-e-dīdār-e-sub.h

vasl kī shab bujh gayā thā jo hamārā dāġh-e-dil

mehr ban kar ab vahī hai turra-e-dastār-e-sub.h

sub.h se pahle ulaT dī us ne chehre se naqāb

ab koī kāfir bhī kar saktā nahīñ inkār-e-sub.h

raat bhar merī zabāñ par sar-guzasht-e-shām-e-ġham

un ke lab haiñ āshnā-e-lazzat-e-guftār-e-sub.h

vasl kī be-lutfiyāñ bhī lutf se ḳhālī nahīñ

raat bhar dil ko maza detī rahī takrār-e-sub.h

iid milne aa.eñ vo gar iid kā niklā hai chāñd

shaam aa.e saath le kar daulat-e-bedār-e-sub.h

vasl meñ hai apnī qismat kī ḳhalish bhī yādgār

dāman-e-shab se ulajh jaate haiñ aksar ḳhār-e-sub.h

de subūhī jald saaqī ab nahīñ māh-e-siyām

be-sabab kyuuñ raah dekheñ shaam kī mai-ḳhvār-e-sub.h

dekhnā kyā jald guzrī hai shab-e-va.ada 'nazar'

vo idhar aa.e udhar zāhir hue āsār-e-sub.h

un ki ruKHsat ek qayamat thi dam-e-izhaar-e-subh

sham tak bachta nazar aata nahin bimar-e-subh

mujh ko bhi ai shama ro le wasl ki shab hai aKHir

aur do aansu baha ai kushta-e-azar-e-subh

kho diya tul-e-shab-e-furqat ne lutf-e-intizar

dida-e-be-KHwab ko hai hasrat-e-didar-e-subh

wasl ki shab bujh gaya tha jo hamara dagh-e-dil

mehr ban kar ab wahi hai turra-e-dastar-e-subh

subh se pahle ulaT di us ne chehre se naqab

ab koi kafir bhi kar sakta nahin inkar-e-subh

raat bhar meri zaban par sar-guzasht-e-sham-e-gham

un ke lab hain aashna-e-lazzat-e-guftar-e-subh

wasl ki be-lutfiyan bhi lutf se KHali nahin

raat bhar dil ko maza deti rahi takrar-e-subh

id milne aaen wo gar id ka nikla hai chand

sham aae sath le kar daulat-e-bedar-e-subh

wasl mein hai apni qismat ki KHalish bhi yaadgar

daman-e-shab se ulajh jate hain aksar KHar-e-subh

de subuhi jald saqi ab nahin mah-e-siyam

be-sabab kyun rah dekhen sham ki mai-KHwar-e-subh

dekhna kya jald guzri hai shab-e-wada 'nazar'

wo idhar aae udhar zahir hue aasar-e-subh
