ġhazal ke parde meñ be-parda ḳhvāhisheñ likhnā

na aayā ham ko barahana guzārisheñ likhnā

ghazal ke parde mein be-parda KHwahishen likhna

na aaya hum ko barahana guzarishen likhna

ek din ġharq na kar de tujhe ye sail-e-vajūd

dekh ho jaa.e na paanī kahīñ sar se ūñchā

ek din gharq na kar de tujhe ye sail-e-wajud

dekh ho jae na pani kahin sar se uncha

us kī qurbat kā nasha kyā chiiz hai

haath phir jalte tave par rakh diyā

us ki qurbat ka nasha kya chiz hai

hath phir jalte tawe par rakh diya

āñkhoñ ke ḳhvāb dil kī javānī bhī le gayā

vo apne saath merī kahānī bhī le gayā

aankhon ke KHwab dil ki jawani bhi le gaya

wo apne sath meri kahani bhi le gaya

kis tarah umr ko jaate dekhūñ

vaqt ko āñkhoñ se ojhal kar de

kis tarah umr ko jate dekhun

waqt ko aankhon se ojhal kar de
