chhin le quwwat binai KHudaya mujhse
chhīn le quvvat bīnā.ī ḳhudāyā mujh se
dekhā jaatā nahīñ ab terā tamāshā mujh se
ek muddat se azā-dār-e-alam-dār huuñ maiñ
TūTne vaalā nahīñ pyaas kā rishta mujh se
ghaTtā rahtā huuñ maiñ vīrān havelī kī tarah
bhāgtā phirtā hai hañgāma-e-duniyā mujh se
ab kisī meñ bhī yahāñ tāb-e-samā.at na rahī
koī suntā hī nahīñ hai mirā qissa mujh se
mujh ko har lamha qanā.at ne sar-afrāz kiyā
muflisī varna tirā bojh na uThtā mujh se
chain se kaTtī hai ab ḳhema-e-gum-nāmī meñ
koī rishta hī nahīñ ḳhalq-e-ḳhudā kā mujh se
dekhtā hī nahīñ vo merī bulandī kī taraf
ya.anī sharminda hai ab vaqt kā ziina mujh se
fāqa-mastī meñ bhī qaa.em hai mirī kaj-kulahī
aur kyā chāhtī hai azmat-e-rafta mujh se
kab utāroge mire jism se ġhurbat kā libās
pūchhtī hai mirī dīvār-e-shikasta mujh se
chhin le quwwat binai KHudaya mujh se
dekha jata nahin ab tera tamasha mujh se
ek muddat se aza-dar-e-alam-dar hun main
TuTne wala nahin pyas ka rishta mujh se
ghaTta rahta hun main viran haweli ki tarah
bhagta phirta hai hangama-e-duniya mujh se
ab kisi mein bhi yahan tab-e-samaat na rahi
koi sunta hi nahin hai mera qissa mujh se
mujh ko har lamha qanaat ne sar-afraaz kiya
muflisi warna tera bojh na uThta mujh se
chain se kaTti hai ab KHema-e-gum-nami mein
koi rishta hi nahin KHalq-e-KHuda ka mujh se
dekhta hi nahin wo meri bulandi ki taraf
yani sharminda hai ab waqt ka zina mujh se
faqa-masti mein bhi qaem hai meri kaj-kulahi
aur kya chahti hai azmat-e-rafta mujh se
kab utaroge mere jism se ghurbat ka libas
puchhti hai meri diwar-e-shikasta mujh se
