kaise niklun KHumar se bahar

kaise niklūñ ḳhumār se bāhar

bāzuoñ ke hisār se bāhar

dard niklā hai sabr kī had se

ashk nikle qatār se bāhar

chand lamhoñ kī muḳhtasar qurbat

aur yādeñ shumār se bāhar

is liye us kī yaad meñ gum huuñ

bhūlnā iḳhtiyār se bāhar

aur jaa.eñ kahāñ mah o anjum

roz-o-shab ke madār se bāhar

tifl-e-dil phir udaas baiThā hai

koī le jaa.e pyaar se bāhar

koī 'raḳhshanda' milne aayā hai

chal chaleñ intizār se bāhar

kaise niklun KHumar se bahar

bazuon ke hisar se bahar

dard nikla hai sabr ki had se

ashk nikle qatar se bahar

chand lamhon ki muKHtasar qurbat

aur yaaden shumar se bahar

is liye us ki yaad mein gum hun

bhulna iKHtiyar se bahar

aur jaen kahan mah o anjum

roz-o-shab ke madar se bahar

tifl-e-dil phir udas baiTha hai

koi le jae pyar se bahar

koi 'raKHshanda' milne aaya hai

chal chalen intizar se bahar
