dayar-e-KHwab ke udhar
musafiron ki bastiyan
nashili kali badliyan sharabiyon ki Toliyan
nasha baDhati dhani dhani chunariyan
mahakte kunware jism chilmanon ki tiliyan
sajili reshmi paron mein rang-birangi titliyan
paki pakai auraton mein shahwaton ki bijliyan
zara si raat bhig jae,
phir suno andhere ki zaban
thake thakae jism hanpti laTakti chhatiyan
shafiq aankhen maon ki rahim loriyan
KHizan luTati kahkashan,
dhuan ugalti chimniyan
dhaDakte dil, niDhaal jism, dhup ke makan
sunahre surKH pairahan bhigoti shahr-zadiyan
gadele gande pokharon mein tairti hain machhliyan
na jaane kis gunah ki saza mein bahti nadiyan
zara si raat bhig jae,
phir suno andhere ki zaban
dayar-e-KHwab ke udhar
musafiron ki bastiyan
