ghazlon ki dhanak oDh mere shoala-badan tu

ġhazloñ kī dhanak oḌh mire sho.ala-badan tū

hai merā suḳhan tū mirā mauzū-e-suḳhan tū

kaliyoñ kī tarah phuuT sar-e-shāḳh-e-tamannā

ḳhushbū kī tarah phail chaman-tā-ba-chaman tū

nāzil ho kabhī zehn pe āyāt kī sūrat

āyāt meñ Dhal jā kabhī jibrīl dahan tū

ab kyuuñ na sajā.ūñ maiñ tujhe diida o dil meñ

lagtā hai añdhere meñ savere kī kiran tū

pahle na koī ramz-e-suḳhan thī na kināya

ab nuqta-e-takmīl-e-hunar mehvar-e-fan tū

ye kam to nahīñ tū mirā meyār-e-nazar hai

ai dost mire vāste kuchh aur na ban tū

mumkin ho to rahne de mujhe zulmat-e-jāñ meñ

DhūñDegā kahāñ chāñdnī rātoñ kā kafan tū

ghazlon ki dhanak oDh mere shoala-badan tu

hai mera suKHan tu mera mauzu-e-suKHan tu

kaliyon ki tarah phuT sar-e-shaKH-e-tamanna

KHushbu ki tarah phail chaman-ta-ba-chaman tu

nazil ho kabhi zehn pe aayat ki surat

aayat mein Dhal ja kabhi jibril dahan tu

ab kyun na sajaun main tujhe dida o dil mein

lagta hai andhere mein sawere ki kiran tu

pahle na koi ramz-e-suKHan thi na kinaya

ab nuqta-e-takmil-e-hunar mehwar-e-fan tu

ye kam to nahin tu mera meyar-e-nazar hai

ai dost mere waste kuchh aur na ban tu

mumkin ho to rahne de mujhe zulmat-e-jaan mein

DhunDega kahan chandni raaton ka kafan tu
