malal zard-qabai ko dho raha hoga

malāl zard-qabā.ī ko dho rahā hogā

ragoñ kā surḳh kahīñ sabz ho rahā hogā

vo jis ke dam se gulābī thī ḳhvāb-gāh mirī

na jaane kis ke dhuñdlakoñ se so rahā hogā

mire safed kisī kā rujū maan bhī le

ki ab nahīñ vo siyah raaz go rahā hogā

vo kesarī jo mirī oḌhnī pe khul na sakā

ab apnā biich kahīñ aur bo rahā hogā

jo surma.ī meñ khilā jā rahā hai shaam Dhale

kahīñ to apnā sunahrā samo rahā hogā

male-dale se paḌe haiñ jo nīlgūñ lamhe

inhī kā zo.am samāvāt ko rahā hogā

paḌā hai rañg se aarī bunat se udhḌā huā

guzishta nuqra.ī jhilmil ko ro rahā hogā

fazā yūñhī to nahīñ malgajī huī jaatī

koī to ḳhāk-nashīñ hosh kho rahā hogā

qatīl-e-rañg na hogā vo sair-chashm kabhī

vafā kī dūdhiyā bāñhoñ meñ jo rahā hogā

malal zard-qabai ko dho raha hoga

ragon ka surKH kahin sabz ho raha hoga

wo jis ke dam se gulabi thi KHwab-gah meri

na jaane kis ke dhundlakon se so raha hoga

mere safed kisi ka ruju man bhi le

ki ab nahin wo siyah raaz go raha hoga

wo kesari jo meri oDhni pe khul na saka

ab apna bich kahin aur bo raha hoga

jo surmai mein khila ja raha hai sham Dhale

kahin to apna sunahra samo raha hoga

male-dale se paDe hain jo nilgun lamhe

inhi ka zoam samawat ko raha hoga

paDa hai rang se aari bunat se udhDa hua

guzishta nuqrai jhilmil ko ro raha hoga

faza yunhi to nahin malgaji hui jati

koi to KHak-nashin hosh kho raha hoga

qatil-e-rang na hoga wo sair-chashm kabhi

wafa ki dudhiya banhon mein jo raha hoga
