shab-e-siyah pe wa raushni ka bab to ho
shab-e-siyāh pe vā raushnī kā baab to ho
magar ye shart hai koī sitāra-yāb to ho
maiñ harf ban ke tirī ruuh meñ utar jā.ūñ
mirā suḳhan tirī mahfil meñ bāryāb to ho
savād-e-shab ke safar meñ sitāra-vār chalūñ
tire jamāl kī lau merī ham-rikāb to ho
kisī tarah to ghaTe dil kī be-qarārī bhī
chalo vo chashm nahīñ kam se kam sharāb to ho
asās-e-jism uThā.ūñ na.e sire se magar
ye sochtā huuñ ki miTTī mirī ḳharāb to ho
vo 'āftāb' lab-e-bām bhī utar aa.e
magar kisī meñ use dekhne kī taab to ho
shab-e-siyah pe wa raushni ka bab to ho
magar ye shart hai koi sitara-yab to ho
main harf ban ke teri ruh mein utar jaun
mera suKHan teri mahfil mein baryab to ho
sawad-e-shab ke safar mein sitara-war chalun
tere jamal ki lau meri ham-rikab to ho
kisi tarah to ghaTe dil ki be-qarari bhi
chalo wo chashm nahin kam se kam sharab to ho
asas-e-jism uThaun nae sire se magar
ye sochta hun ki miTTi meri KHarab to ho
wo 'aftab' lab-e-baam bhi utar aae
magar kisi mein use dekhne ki tab to ho
