us pe karna mere nalon ne asar chhoD diya

us pe karnā mire nāloñ ne asar chhoḌ diyā

mujh ko ek lutf kī kar ke jo nazar chhoḌ diyā

sauñp kar ḳhāna-e-dil ġham ko kidhar jaate ho

phir na pāoge agar us ne ye ghar chhoḌ diyā

ashk-e-sozāñ ne jalā.e mire lākhoñ dāman

poñchhnā maiñ ne to ab dīda-e-tar chhoḌ diyā

baḳhiya-gar jal gayā kyā haath tirā sozish se

karte karte jo rafū chāk-e-jigar chhoḌ diyā

gulshan-e-dahr meñ ḳhāmī ne bachāyā ham ko

dekh kar ḳhaam kudūrat ne samar chhoḌ diyā

le ga.e sāmne hākim ke mire qātil ko

is ko us ne bhī samajh ḳhūn-e-pidar chhoḌ diyā

nek o bad kuchh nazar aatā nahīñ vo vahshat hai

parda ġhaflat kā mire pesh-e-nazar chhoḌ diyā

kūcha-e-zulf ko katrā ke gayā dil ruḳh par

us ne vo rasta-e-pur-ḳhauf-o-ḳhatar chhoḌ diyā

ai falak ḳhāna-ḳharābī kī hai parvā kis ko

dasht meñ rahte haiñ muddat huī ghar chhoḌ diyā

mujh pe ehsān sabā kā hai ki kūche meñ tire

ḳhaak ko merī sar-e-rāhguzar chhoḌ diyā

mujh ko ai aah ta.ajjub hai ki kāshāna-e-ġhair

kal shab-e-hijr ne barsā ke sharar chhoḌ diyā

bhar gayā dil mirā ek chiiz ko khāte khāte

ḳhūn-e-dil khā.eñge ab ḳhūn-e-jigar chhoḌ diyā

bojh se aap hī mar jā.egā kyuuñ ho badnām

ye samajh kar but-e-saffāk ne sar chhoḌ diyā

nahīñ tīr-e-nigah-e-yār se bachnā mumkin

kal hai maujūd vo din aaj agar chhoḌ diyā

aa gayā dil meñ jo aalam kā musaḳhḳhar karnā

zulf ko chehre pe hañgām-e-sahar chhoḌ diyā

ye nahīñ hai rah-e-but-ḳhāna kidhar jaanā hai

aaj se ham ne tirā saath ḳhizar chhoḌ diyā

kar diyā tīroñ se chhalnī mujhe saarā lekin

ḳhuun hone ke liye us ne jigar chhoḌ diyā

saath dekhā thā use kal to tere ai majnūñ

aaj us 'ārif'-e-vahshī ko kidhar chhoḌ diyā

us pe karna mere nalon ne asar chhoD diya

mujh ko ek lutf ki kar ke jo nazar chhoD diya

saunp kar KHana-e-dil gham ko kidhar jate ho

phir na paoge agar us ne ye ghar chhoD diya

ashk-e-sozan ne jalae mere lakhon daman

ponchhna main ne to ab dida-e-tar chhoD diya

baKHiya-gar jal gaya kya hath tera sozish se

karte karte jo rafu chaak-e-jigar chhoD diya

gulshan-e-dahr mein KHami ne bachaya hum ko

dekh kar KHam kudurat ne samar chhoD diya

le gae samne hakim ke mere qatil ko

is ko us ne bhi samajh KHun-e-pidar chhoD diya

nek o bad kuchh nazar aata nahin wo wahshat hai

parda ghaflat ka mere pesh-e-nazar chhoD diya

kucha-e-zulf ko katra ke gaya dil ruKH par

us ne wo rasta-e-pur-KHauf-o-KHatar chhoD diya

ai falak KHana-KHarabi ki hai parwa kis ko

dasht mein rahte hain muddat hui ghar chhoD diya

mujh pe ehsan saba ka hai ki kuche mein tere

KHak ko meri sar-e-rahguzar chhoD diya

mujh ko ai aah tajjub hai ki kashana-e-ghair

kal shab-e-hijr ne barsa ke sharar chhoD diya

bhar gaya dil mera ek chiz ko khate khate

KHun-e-dil khaenge ab KHun-e-jigar chhoD diya

bojh se aap hi mar jaega kyun ho badnam

ye samajh kar but-e-saffak ne sar chhoD diya

nahin tir-e-nigah-e-yar se bachna mumkin

kal hai maujud wo din aaj agar chhoD diya

aa gaya dil mein jo aalam ka musaKHKHar karna

zulf ko chehre pe hangam-e-sahar chhoD diya

ye nahin hai rah-e-but-KHana kidhar jaana hai

aaj se hum ne tera sath KHizar chhoD diya

kar diya tiron se chhalni mujhe sara lekin

KHun hone ke liye us ne jigar chhoD diya

sath dekha tha use kal to tere ai majnun

aaj us 'arif'-e-wahshi ko kidhar chhoD diya
