ye parda bhi uTha dena tha
jo bujhā.e na bujhe aur bhaḌaktī jaa.e
mere siine meñ vahī aag lagā denā thā
ek gum-karda-e-manzil ko mirī jān-e-hayā
tum ko ik baar bas ik baar sadā denā thā
sho.ala-e-tūr se bhī ab sard huā jaatā hai
tīrgī sīna-e-sozāñ se miTā denā thā
bazm-e-mahtāb sajā.ī ga.ī dīvānoñ se
mujh ko lekin mire ḳhvāboñ se jagā denā thā
haath rah jaate haiñ uTh uTh ke abhī tak apne
be-ḳhudī tujh ko ye parda bhī uThā denā thā
jo bujhae na bujhe aur bhaDakti jae
mere sine mein wahi aag laga dena tha
ek gum-karda-e-manzil ko meri jaan-e-haya
tum ko ek bar bas ek bar sada dena tha
shoala-e-tur se bhi ab sard hua jata hai
tirgi sina-e-sozan se miTa dena tha
bazm-e-mahtab sajai gai diwanon se
mujh ko lekin mere KHwabon se jaga dena tha
hath rah jate hain uTh uTh ke abhi tak apne
be-KHudi tujh ko ye parda bhi uTha dena tha
