KHayal lams ka kar-e-sawab jaisa tha
ḳhayāl lams kā kār-e-savāb jaisā thā
asar sadā kā bhī mauj-e-sharāb jaisā thā
varaq nuche hue sab lafz o ma.anī gum-sum the
ye baat sach hai vo chehra kitāb jaisā thā
tamām raat vo pahlū ko garm kartā rahā
kisī kī yaad kā nashsha sharāb jaisā thā
udaas zarroñ ke ham-rāh koī phirtā rahā
ḳhamoshiyoñ kā bayābāñ sarāb jaisā thā
ik umr khoī to ye raaz mujh pe faash huā
ḳhayāl-e-mahr-o-vafā naqsh-e-āb jaisā thā
KHayal lams ka kar-e-sawab jaisa tha
asar sada ka bhi mauj-e-sharab jaisa tha
waraq nuche hue sab lafz o mani gum-sum the
ye baat sach hai wo chehra kitab jaisa tha
tamam raat wo pahlu ko garm karta raha
kisi ki yaad ka nashsha sharab jaisa tha
udas zarron ke ham-rah koi phirta raha
KHamoshiyon ka bayaban sarab jaisa tha
ek umr khoi to ye raaz mujh pe fash hua
KHayal-e-mahr-o-wafa naqsh-e-ab jaisa tha
