jab koi sham-e-hasin nazr-e-KHarabaat hui

jab koī shām-e-hasīñ nazr-e-ḳharābāt huī

aksar aise meñ tire ġham se mulāqāt huī

āp-apne ko na pahchān sake ham tā-der

un se bichhḌe to ajab sūrat-e-hālāt huī

husn se nibh na na sakī vaz-e-karam āḳhir tak

avval avval to mohabbat kī mudārāt huī

roz mai pī hai tumheñ yaad kiyā hai lekin

aaj tum yaad na aa.e ye na.ī baat huī

us ne āvāz meñ āvāz milā dī thī kabhī

aaj tak ḳhatm na mausīqi-e-jazbāt huī

dil pe ik ġham kī ghaTā chhā.ī huī thī kab se

aaj un se jo mile TuuT ke barsāt huī

kis kī parchhā.īñ paḌī kaun idhar se guzrā

itnī rañgīñ jo guzargāh-e-ḳhayālāt huī

un se ummīd-e-mulāqāt ke ba.ad ai 'maḳhmūr'

muddatoñ tak na ḳhud apne se mulāqāt huī

jab koi sham-e-hasin nazr-e-KHarabaat hui

aksar aise mein tere gham se mulaqat hui

aap-apne ko na pahchan sake hum ta-der

un se bichhDe to ajab surat-e-haalat hui

husn se nibh na na saki waz-e-karam aaKHir tak

awwal awwal to mohabbat ki mudaraat hui

roz mai pi hai tumhein yaad kiya hai lekin

aaj tum yaad na aae ye nai baat hui

us ne aawaz mein aawaz mila di thi kabhi

aaj tak KHatm na mausiqi-e-jazbaat hui

dil pe ek gham ki ghaTa chhai hui thi kab se

aaj un se jo mile TuT ke barsat hui

kis ki parchhain paDi kaun idhar se guzra

itni rangin jo guzargah-e-KHayalat hui

un se ummid-e-mulaqat ke baad ai 'maKHmur'

muddaton tak na KHud apne se mulaqat hui
