lahu ki bebasi ko yun na ruswa chhoD dena tha
lahū kī bebasī ko yuuñ na rusvā chhoḌ denā thā
kuchh is meñ ġhairat-e-jāñ kā havāla chhoḌ denā thā
maiñ ā.īnoñ meñ ḳhud ko DhūñDhtā huuñ ḳhud nahīñ miltā
mire chehroñ meñ koī merā chehra chhoḌ denā thā
ajab ghar haiñ ki jin meñ koī khiḌkī hai na darvāza
havā ke aane jaane kā to rasta chhoḌ denā thā
abas sāhil pe tum lahroñ ko kyuuñ gin rahe yūñhī
jo ḳhvāhish motiyoñ kī thī kināra chhoḌ denā thā
unheñ to karbalā kī tishnagī āvāz detī thī
vo dariyā the unheñ shahr-e-madīna chhoḌ denā thā
fasādoñ ke zamāne meñ sukūñ achchhā nahīñ lagtā
kisī afvāh kā koī shagūfa chhoḌ denā thā
numūd-o-nām ne kis ko kahāñ par kab sukūñ baḳhshā
miyāñ is ke liye shohrat kā saudā chhoḌ denā thā
lahu ki bebasi ko yun na ruswa chhoD dena tha
kuchh is mein ghairat-e-jaan ka hawala chhoD dena tha
main aainon mein KHud ko DhunDhta hun KHud nahin milta
mere chehron mein koi mera chehra chhoD dena tha
ajab ghar hain ki jin mein koi khiDki hai na darwaza
hawa ke aane jaane ka to rasta chhoD dena tha
abas sahil pe tum lahron ko kyun gin rahe yunhi
jo KHwahish motiyon ki thi kinara chhoD dena tha
unhen to karbala ki tishnagi aawaz deti thi
wo dariya the unhen shahr-e-madina chhoD dena tha
fasadon ke zamane mein sukun achchha nahin lagta
kisi afwah ka koi shagufa chhoD dena tha
numud-o-nam ne kis ko kahan par kab sukun baKHsha
miyan is ke liye shohrat ka sauda chhoD dena tha
