shab-e-tanhai
justujū rāh-e-talab kuchh bhī nahīñ kuchh bhī nahīñ
vahī tanhā.ī vahī ziist kī begāna-ravī
zehn anjān ḳhalāoñ meñ kahīñ khoyā huā
dil pe ik bojh haiñ maazī ke hasīñ afsāne
aaj jalte hue aañsū bhī nahīñ āñkhoñ meñ
be-hisī chaaT ga.ī ḳhūn-e-jigar kī har buuñd
ḳhāmushī jaise koī sham.a bujhī jaatī ho
niiñd aa.ī hai na aa.egī sahar tak mujh ko
aaj kī raat bhī be-kār guzar jā.egī
justuju rah-e-talab kuchh bhi nahin kuchh bhi nahin
wahi tanhai wahi zist ki begana-rawi
zehn anjaan KHalaon mein kahin khoya hua
dil pe ek bojh hain mazi ke hasin afsane
aaj jalte hue aansu bhi nahin aankhon mein
be-hisi chaT gai KHun-e-jigar ki har bund
KHamushi jaise koi shama bujhi jati ho
nind aai hai na aaegi sahar tak mujh ko
aaj ki raat bhi be-kar guzar jaegi
