dil gaya dil ka nishan baqi raha
dil gayā dil kā nishāñ baaqī rahā
dil kī jā dard-e-nihāñ baaqī rahā
kaun zer-e-āsmāñ baaqī rahā
nek-nāmoñ kā nishāñ baaqī rahā
ho liye duniyā ke puure kārobār
aur ik ḳhvāb-e-girāñ baaqī rahā
rafta rafta chal base dil ke makīñ
ab faqat ḳhālī makāñ baaqī rahā
chal diye sab chhoḌ kar ahl-e-jahāñ
aur rahne ko jahāñ baaqī rahā
kārvāñ manzil pe pahuñchā umr kā
ab ġhubār-e-kārvāñ baaqī rahā
mil ga.e miTTī meñ kyā kyā mah-jabīñ
sab ko khā kar āsmāñ baaqī rahā
miT ga.e ban ban ke kyā qasr o mahal
naam ko ik lā-makāñ baaqī rahā
aarzū hī aarzū meñ miT ga.e
aur shauq-e-āstāñ baaqī rahā
aish o ishrat chal base dil se 'zahīr'
dard o ġham bahr-e-nishāñ baaqī rahā
dil gaya dil ka nishan baqi raha
dil ki ja dard-e-nihan baqi raha
kaun zer-e-asman baqi raha
nek-namon ka nishan baqi raha
ho liye duniya ke pure karobar
aur ek KHwab-e-giran baqi raha
rafta rafta chal base dil ke makin
ab faqat KHali makan baqi raha
chal diye sab chhoD kar ahl-e-jahan
aur rahne ko jahan baqi raha
karwan manzil pe pahuncha umr ka
ab ghubar-e-karwan baqi raha
mil gae miTTi mein kya kya mah-jabin
sab ko kha kar aasman baqi raha
miT gae ban ban ke kya qasr o mahal
nam ko ek la-makan baqi raha
aarzu hi aarzu mein miT gae
aur shauq-e-astan baqi raha
aish o ishrat chal base dil se 'zahir'
dard o gham bahr-e-nishan baqi raha
