aaj dekha jo koi shaKHs diwana mere dost

aaj dekhā jo koī shaḳhs dīvāna mire dost

yaad phir aayā mujhe merā fasāna mire dost

maiñ tire hijr meñ chup-chāp chale jaatā huuñ

dil ko aatā hai kahāñ koī bahāna mire dost

ḳhud se niklūñ to na.e shahr kā naqsha dekhūñ

ik zamāne se huuñ mahrūm-e-zamāna mire dost

dil kī bastī meñ faqat āḳhirī tum hī ho makīñ

ek ik kar ke hue dil se ravāna mire dost

ham se āñkheñ na milāo ki ham āvārā haiñ

aise logoñ kā kahāñ ek Thikāna mire dost

aaj dekha jo koi shaKHs diwana mere dost

yaad phir aaya mujhe mera fasana mere dost

main tere hijr mein chup-chap chale jata hun

dil ko aata hai kahan koi bahana mere dost

KHud se niklun to nae shahr ka naqsha dekhun

ek zamane se hun mahrum-e-zamana mere dost
