titli qafas mein qaid-e-saba DhunDhti rahi
titlī qafas meñ qaid-e-sabā DhūñDhtī rahī
maiñ shahr-e-nañg meñ bhī ridā DhūñDhtī rahī
vo titliyoñ meñ mast bahut mutma.in sā thā
jis ko chaman meñ merī sadā DhūñDhtī rahī
rut kī tarah mizāj badal kar chalā gayā
vo bevafā thā us meñ vafā DhūñDhtī rahī
taḳht-e-munāfiqat pe vahī hukmarān thā
bahr-e-ḳhulūs jis ko sadā DhūñDhtī rahī
josh-e-junūñ ke haath jise daan kar chukī
phir maiñ zarūratan vo anā DhūñDhtī rahī
dil par lage jo zaḳhm kahāñ mundamil hue
maiñ shahr shahr phirtī davā DhūñDhtī rahī
bastī meñ ek bhī na vafādār mil sakā
maiñ dar-ba-dar bhaTaktī vafā DhūñDhtī rahī
sail-e-balā bhañvar meñ jahāñ chhoḌ kar gayā
maiñ nāḳhudā ke saath ḳhudā DhūñDhtī rahī
dīvār-e-dil se merī churā ke vo le gayā
jagmag sī raushnī vo diyā DhūñDhtī rahī
merī hatheliyoñ pe rache zaḳhm zaḳhm rañg
'bāno' maiñ in meñ bū-e-hinā DhūñDhtī rahī
titli qafas mein qaid-e-saba DhunDhti rahi
main shahr-e-nang mein bhi rida DhunDhti rahi
wo titliyon mein mast bahut mutmain sa tha
jis ko chaman mein meri sada DhunDhti rahi
rut ki tarah mizaj badal kar chala gaya
wo bewafa tha us mein wafa DhunDhti rahi
taKHt-e-munafiqat pe wahi hukmaran tha
bahr-e-KHulus jis ko sada DhunDhti rahi
josh-e-junun ke hath jise dan kar chuki
phir main zaruratan wo ana DhunDhti rahi
dil par lage jo zaKHm kahan mundamil hue
main shahr shahr phirti dawa DhunDhti rahi
basti mein ek bhi na wafadar mil saka
main dar-ba-dar bhaTakti wafa DhunDhti rahi
sail-e-bala bhanwar mein jahan chhoD kar gaya
main naKHuda ke sath KHuda DhunDhti rahi
diwar-e-dil se meri chura ke wo le gaya
jagmag si raushni wo diya DhunDhti rahi
meri hatheliyon pe rache zaKHm zaKHm rang
'bano' main in mein bu-e-hina DhunDhti rahi
