rah gaya dida-e-pur-ab ka saman ho kar
rah gayā dīda-e-pur-āb kā sāmāñ ho kar
vo jo rahtā thā mire saath mirī jaañ ho kar
jaane kis shoḳh ke āñchal ne sharārat kī hai
chāñd phirtā hai sitāroñ meñ pareshāñ ho kar
āte-jāte hue dastak kā takalluf kaisā
apne ghar meñ bhī koī aatā hai mehmāñ ho kar
ab to mujh ko bhī nahīñ miltī mirī koī ḳhabar
kitnā gumnām huā huuñ maiñ numāyāñ ho kar
vo mire sahn meñ utre haiñ ujāle kahiye
shaam taktī hai dar-o-bām ko hairāñ ho kar
maiñ ne us shaḳhs se sīkhā hai takallum kā hunar
vo jo mahfil meñ bhī rahtā thā gurezāñ ho kar
ujḌī ujḌī sī havā ḳhāk-ba-sar aatī hai
shaam utrī hai kahīñ shām-e-ġharībāñ ho kar
ek hañgāma sā yādoñ kā hai dil meñ 'az.har'
kitnā ābād huā shahr ye vīrāñ ho kar
rah gaya dida-e-pur-ab ka saman ho kar
wo jo rahta tha mere sath meri jaan ho kar
jaane kis shoKH ke aanchal ne shararat ki hai
chand phirta hai sitaron mein pareshan ho kar
aate-jate hue dastak ka takalluf kaisa
apne ghar mein bhi koi aata hai mehman ho kar
ab to mujh ko bhi nahin milti meri koi KHabar
kitna gumnam hua hun main numayan ho kar
wo mere sahn mein utre hain ujale kahiye
sham takti hai dar-o-baam ko hairan ho kar
main ne us shaKHs se sikha hai takallum ka hunar
wo jo mahfil mein bhi rahta tha gurezan ho kar
ujDi ujDi si hawa KHak-ba-sar aati hai
sham utri hai kahin sham-e-ghariban ho kar
ek hangama sa yaadon ka hai dil mein 'azhar'
kitna aabaad hua shahr ye viran ho kar
