hijr ki dastan nai likhkhun

hijr kī dāstāñ na.ī likhkhūñ

raat kāTūñ magar sadī likhkhūñ

apnī ḳhātir faqat tujhe māñgūñ

tere hisse meñ har ḳhushī likhkhūñ

Dar hai tere firāq kā varna

jī meñ hai tujh ko zindagī likhkhūñ

gardish-e-roz-o-shab batā tū hī

kis kahī ko maiñ an-kahī likhkhūñ

daane daane pe bhuuk sabt karūñ

qatre qatre pe tishnagī likhkhūñ

mujh ko itnī zamīn bhī na milī

jis ko ghar jānūñ be-gharī likhkhūñ

vo 'sudhākar' huuñ ik ‘sudhākar’ meñ

jism kī sochūñ ruuh kī likhkhūñ

hijr ki dastan nai likhkhun

raat kaTun magar sadi likhkhun

apni KHatir faqat tujhe mangun

tere hisse mein har KHushi likhkhun

Dar hai tere firaq ka warna

ji mein hai tujh ko zindagi likhkhun

gardish-e-roz-o-shab bata tu hi

kis kahi ko main an-kahi likhkhun

dane dane pe bhuk sabt karun

qatre qatre pe tishnagi likhkhun

mujh ko itni zamin bhi na mili

jis ko ghar jaanun be-ghari likhkhun

wo 'sudhakar' hun ek ‘sudhakar’ mein

jism ki sochun ruh ki likhkhun
