falak pe chāñd sitāre nikalne haiñ har shab
sitam yahī hai nikaltā nahīñ hamārā chāñd
falak pe chand sitare nikalne hain har shab
sitam yahi hai nikalta nahin hamara chand
qālib ko apne chhoḌ ke maqlūb ho ga.e
kyā aur koī qalb hai is inqalāb meñ
qalib ko apne chhoD ke maqlub ho gae
kya aur koi qalb hai is inqalab mein
nahīñ khultā sabab tabassum kā
aaj kyā koī bosa deñge aap
nahin khulta sabab tabassum ka
aaj kya koi bosa denge aap
jān-o-dil thā nazr terī kar chukā
tere āshiq kī yahī auqāt hai
jaan-o-dil tha nazr teri kar chuka
tere aashiq ki yahi auqat hai
vo maah jalva dikhā kar hameñ huā rū-posh
ye aarzū hai ki nikle kahīñ dobārā chāñd
wo mah jalwa dikha kar hamein hua ru-posh
ye aarzu hai ki nikle kahin dobara chand
