tum mere shahr mein aate ho chale jate ho

tum mire shahr meñ aate ho chale jaate ho

dil pe ik zaḳhm lagāte ho chale jaate ho

tum se mil kar bhī koī baat nahīñ ho paatī

sirf apnī hī sunāte ho chale jaate ho

maiñ ki asbāb-e-safar bāñdh ke aa jaatī huuñ

tum na.ī raah dikhāte ho chale jaate ho

mausam-e-gul ke utarte hī mire āñgan meñ

hijr kā giit sunāte ho chale jaate ho

aaj kī shaam tire naam rahegī merī

aise kuchh jhuuT sunāte ho chale jaate ho

ruuTh jā.ūñ to faqat ek tabassum de kar

saare shikve hī bhulāte ho chale jaate ho

tum mere shahr mein aate ho chale jate ho

dil pe ek zaKHm lagate ho chale jate ho

tum se mil kar bhi koi baat nahin ho pati

sirf apni hi sunate ho chale jate ho

main ki asbab-e-safar bandh ke aa jati hun

tum nai rah dikhate ho chale jate ho

mausam-e-gul ke utarte hi mere aangan mein

hijr ka git sunate ho chale jate ho

aaj ki sham tere nam rahegi meri

aise kuchh jhuT sunate ho chale jate ho

ruTh jaun to faqat ek tabassum de kar

sare shikwe hi bhulate ho chale jate ho
