ajab hasrat se takte hain nagar ke band dar mujhko

ajab hasrat se takte haiñ nagar ke band dar mujh ko

chalā jaatā huuñ le jaatī hai tanhā.ī jidhar mujh ko

samajhte haiñ vo leader yā koī darvesh-e-mastāna

koī khīñche idhar mujh ko koī khīñche udhar mujh ko

kyoñ ik manzil pe Thahrā huuñ hai ye isrār be-ma.anī

koī mujh se to pūchhe āḳhirash jaanā kidhar mujh ko

maiñ kitnī duur aa pahuñchā huuñ andāze se kyā hāsil

sadā lagtī hai ḳhāmoshī bulā.e laakh ghar mujh ko

maiñ sāda-lauh maiñ nā-vāqif-e-jurm-o-sazā phir bhī

na jaane kis liye DhūñDe hai ye saarā nagar mujh ko

ajab hasrat se takte hain nagar ke band dar mujh ko

chala jata hun le jati hai tanhai jidhar mujh ko

samajhte hain wo leader ya koi darwesh-e-mastana

koi khinche idhar mujh ko koi khinche udhar mujh ko

kyon ek manzil pe Thahra hun hai ye israr be-mani

koi mujh se to puchhe aaKHirash jaana kidhar mujh ko

main kitni dur aa pahuncha hun andaze se kya hasil

sada lagti hai KHamoshi bulae lakh ghar mujh ko

main sada-lauh main na-waqif-e-jurm-o-saza phir bhi

na jaane kis liye DhunDe hai ye sara nagar mujh ko
