sham thi aur barg-o-gul shal the magar saba bhi thi
shaam thī aur barg-o-gul shal the magar sabā bhī thī
ek ajiib sukūt thā ek ajab sadā bhī thī
ek malāl kā sā haal mahv thā apne haal meñ
raqs-o-navā the be-taraf mahfil-e-shab bapā bhī thī
sāme.a-e-sadā-e-jāñ be-sarokār thā ki thā
ek gumāñ kī dāstāñ bar-lab nīm-vā bhī thī
kyā mah-o-sāl mājrā ek palak thī jo miyāñ
baat kī ibtidā bhī thī baat kī intihā bhī thī
ek surūd-e-raushanī nīma-e-shab kā ḳhvāb thā
ek ḳhamosh tīrgī sāneha-āshnā bhī thī
dil tirā peshā-e-gila-e-kām ḳharāb kar gayā
varna to ek rañj kī hālat-be-gila bhī thī
dil ke muāmle jo the un meñ se ek ye bhī hai
ik havas thī dil meñ jo dil se gurez-pā bhī thī
bāl-o-par-e-ḳhayāl ko ab nahīñ samt-o-sū nasīb
pahle thī ik ajab fazā aur jo pur-fazā bhī thī
ḳhushk hai chashma-sār-e-jāñ zard hai sabza-zār-e-dil
ab to ye sochiye ki yaañ pahle kabhī havā bhī thī
sham thi aur barg-o-gul shal the magar saba bhi thi
ek ajib sukut tha ek ajab sada bhi thi
ek malal ka sa haal mahw tha apne haal mein
raqs-o-nawa the be-taraf mahfil-e-shab bapa bhi thi
samea-e-sada-e-jaan be-sarokar tha ki tha
ek guman ki dastan bar-lab nim-wa bhi thi
kya mah-o-sal majra ek palak thi jo miyan
baat ki ibtida bhi thi baat ki intiha bhi thi
ek surud-e-raushani nima-e-shab ka KHwab tha
ek KHamosh tirgi saneha-ashna bhi thi
dil tera pesha-e-gila-e-kaam KHarab kar gaya
warna to ek ranj ki haalat-be-gila bhi thi
dil ke muamle jo the un mein se ek ye bhi hai
ek hawas thi dil mein jo dil se gurez-pa bhi thi
baal-o-par-e-KHayal ko ab nahin samt-o-su nasib
pahle thi ek ajab faza aur jo pur-faza bhi thi
KHushk hai chashma-sar-e-jaan zard hai sabza-zar-e-dil
ab to ye sochiye ki yan pahle kabhi hawa bhi thi
