mirī nigāh ko ab bhī tirī zarūrat hai

dil-e-tabāh ko ab bhī tirī zarūrat hai

ḳharosh-e-nāla taḌaptā hai terī furqat meñ

sukūt-e-āh ko ab bhī tirī zarūrat hai

ye sub.h-o-shām tirī justujū meñ phirte haiñ

ki mehr-o-māh ko ab bhī tirī zarūrat hai

bahār-e-zulf pareshāñ liye hai gulshan meñ

gul-o-giyāh ko ab bhī tirī zarūrat hai

zamāna DhūñD rahā hai koī nayā tūfāñ

sukūn-e-rāh ko ab bhī tirī zarūrat hai

vo valvale vo umañgeñ vo justujū na rahī

tirī sipāh ko ab bhī tirī zarūrat hai

ḳhirad ḳhamosh junūñ be-ḳharosh hai ab tak

dil-o-nigāh ko ab bhī tirī zarūrat hai

bayāñ ho ġham kā fasāna dil-e-tapāñ se kahāñ

ye baar uTThegā mirī jān-e-nā-tavāñ se kahāñ

milā na phir kahīñ lutf-e-kalām tere ba.ad

hadīs-e-shauq rahī nā-tamām tere ba.ad

jo tere dast-e-havādis shikan meñ dekhī thī

vo teġh phir na huī be-niyām tere ba.ad

bujhī bujhī sī tabī.at hai bāda-ḳhvāroñ kī

udaas udaas haiñ mīnā-o-jām tere ba.ad

banā hai harf-e-shikāyat sukūt-e-lāla-o-gul

badal gayā hai chaman kā nizām tere ba.ad

adā-e-husn kā lutf-e-ḳhirām be-ma.anī

surūd-e-shauq kī lazzat harām tere ba.ad

taras ga.ī hai samā.at tirī sadāoñ ko

sunā na phir kahīñ terā payām tere ba.ad

vo inqalāb kī rū phir palaT ga.ī afsos

buland baam haiñ phir zer-e-dām tere ba.ad

misāl-e-najm-e-sahar jagmagā ke Duub gayā

hameñ safīna kināre lagā ke Duub gayā

ye bar uTThega meri jaan-e-na-tawan se kahan

mila na phir kahin lutf-e-kalam tere baad

hadis-e-shauq rahi na-tamam tere baad

jo tere dast-e-hawadis shikan mein dekhi thi

wo tegh phir na hui be-niyam tere baad

bujhi bujhi si tabiat hai baada-KHwaron ki

udas udas hain mina-o-jam tere baad

bana hai harf-e-shikayat sukut-e-lala-o-gul

badal gaya hai chaman ka nizam tere baad

ada-e-husn ka lutf-e-KHiram be-mani

surud-e-shauq ki lazzat haram tere baad

taras gai hai samaat teri sadaon ko

suna na phir kahin tera payam tere baad

wo inqalab ki ru phir palaT gai afsos

buland baam hain phir zer-e-dam tere baad

misal-e-najm-e-sahar jagmaga ke Dub gaya

hamein safina kinare laga ke Dub gaya
