wahi kasif ghaTaen wahi bhayanak raat

vahī kasīf ghaTā.eñ vahī bhayānak raat

sahar se jaise gurezāñ hoñ aaj bhī lamhāt

vahī jafā.eñ vahī saḳhtiyāñ vahī āfāt

tumhīñ batāo ki badle kahāñ mire din raat

ye barq o baad kī yūrish ye zahr kī bārish

milī hai ahl-e-chaman ko bahār kī sauġhāt

diloñ meñ aag nigāhoñ meñ aag bātoñ meñ aag

kabhī to yuuñ bhī nikaltī hai ġham-zadoñ kī barāt

kabhī kabhī to zamīñ āsmāñ chamak uTThe

kabhī kabhī to dahak uTThe ḳhaak ke zarrāt

ḳhizāñ-rasīda chaman aag ho ga.e 'jazbī'

hamāre dīda-e-pur-ḳhūñ meñ thī magar kuchh baat

wahi kasif ghaTaen wahi bhayanak raat

sahar se jaise gurezan hon aaj bhi lamhat

wahi jafaen wahi saKHtiyan wahi aafat

tumhin batao ki badle kahan mere din raat

ye barq o baad ki yurish ye zahr ki barish

mili hai ahl-e-chaman ko bahaar ki saughat

dilon mein aag nigahon mein aag baaton mein aag

kabhi to yun bhi nikalti hai gham-zadon ki baraat

kabhi kabhi to zamin aasman chamak uTThe

kabhi kabhi to dahak uTThe KHak ke zarraat

KHizan-rasida chaman aag ho gae 'jazbi'

hamare dida-e-pur-KHun mein thi magar kuchh baat
