KHalq ne chhin li mujhse meri tanhai tak

ḳhalq ne chhīn lī mujh se mirī tanhā.ī tak

ishq aa pahuñchā hai ilzām se rusvā.ī tak

khol rakkhā hai ye darvāza-e-dil tere liye

kaash tū dekh sake ruuh kī gahrā.ī tak

kyuuñ huuñ maiñ aur mire ġham kā use ehsās kahāñ

hai mulāqāt faqat anjuman-ārā.ī tak

yuuñ to ham ahl-e-nazar haiñ magar anjām ye hai

DhūñDte DhūñDte kho dete haiñ bīnā.ī tak

khul ga.e vo to khulā apnī mohabbat kā bharam

valvale dil meñ hazāroñ the shanāsā.ī tak

Dūbnā apnā muqaddar thā magar zulm hai ye

bah ga.e ek hī rele meñ tamāshā.ī tak

ḳhushk miTTī pe bhī girtā nahīñ pattā koī

ḳhāmushī vo hai ki chaltī nahīñ purvā.ī tak

shahr meñ ahl-e-jafā ahl-e-riyā rahte haiñ

ye havā kaash na pahuñche tire saudā.ī tak

apne anjām pe ḳhud ro.egī sham-e-mahfil

chhoḌ jā.eñge use us ke tamannā.ī tak

ham ne bhī dasht-navardī to bahut kī 'shahzād'

haath pahuñchā na kisī lāla-e-sahrā.ī tak

KHalq ne chhin li mujh se meri tanhai tak

ishq aa pahuncha hai ilzam se ruswai tak

khol rakkha hai ye darwaza-e-dil tere liye

kash tu dekh sake ruh ki gahrai tak

kyun hun main aur mere gham ka use ehsas kahan

hai mulaqat faqat anjuman-arai tak

yun to hum ahl-e-nazar hain magar anjam ye hai

DhunDte DhunDte kho dete hain binai tak

khul gae wo to khula apni mohabbat ka bharam

walwale dil mein hazaron the shanasai tak

Dubna apna muqaddar tha magar zulm hai ye

bah gae ek hi rele mein tamashai tak

KHushk miTTi pe bhi girta nahin patta koi

KHamushi wo hai ki chalti nahin purwai tak

shahr mein ahl-e-jafa ahl-e-riya rahte hain

ye hawa kash na pahunche tere saudai tak

apne anjam pe KHud roegi sham-e-mahfil

chhoD jaenge use us ke tamannai tak

hum ne bhi dasht-nawardi to bahut ki 'shahzad'

hath pahuncha na kisi lala-e-sahrai tak
