chhoD dun shahr tera chhoD dun duniya teri

chhoḌ duuñ shahr tirā chhoḌ duuñ duniyā terī

mujh ko mālūm na thā kyā hai tamannā terī

maiñ añdhere meñ nahīñ din ke ujāle meñ luTā

ab kise DhūñDhe hai sham-e-ruḳh-e-zebā terī

jab koī pās-e-muravvat se karam kartā hai

yaad aatī hai bahut ranjish-e-be-jā terī

pai-ba-pai saath chhuTā jaatā hai ik duniyā kā

dam-ba-dam yaad chalī aatī hai goyā terī

dāman-o-dast-e-rasā baat ḳhudā-sāz to hai

nā-rasā.ī bhī mashiyyat hai ḳhudāyā terī

munhadim ho ga.ī dīvār-e-dil-e-dīvāna

merī qismat meñ thī tasvīr-e-shikasta terī

tār-tār-e-nafas-e-jāñ meñ tirā naġhma hai

pairahan meñ hai abhī bū-e-shanāsā terī

ġhazal-e-'shāz' hai sadqa tirī ra.anā.ī kā

rag-e-har-sher meñ hai mauj-e-sarāpā terī

chhoD dun shahr tera chhoD dun duniya teri

mujh ko malum na tha kya hai tamanna teri

main andhere mein nahin din ke ujale mein luTa

ab kise DhunDhe hai sham-e-ruKH-e-zeba teri

jab koi pas-e-murawwat se karam karta hai

yaad aati hai bahut ranjish-e-be-ja teri

pai-ba-pai sath chhuTa jata hai ek duniya ka

dam-ba-dam yaad chali aati hai goya teri

daman-o-dast-e-rasa baat KHuda-saz to hai

na-rasai bhi mashiyyat hai KHudaya teri

munhadim ho gai diwar-e-dil-e-diwana

meri qismat mein thi taswir-e-shikasta teri

tar-tar-e-nafas-e-jaan mein tera naghma hai

pairahan mein hai abhi bu-e-shanasa teri

ghazal-e-'shaz' hai sadqa teri ranai ka

rag-e-har-sher mein hai mauj-e-sarapa teri
