sar-e-baam-e-hijr diya bujha to KHabar hui

sar-e-bām-e-hijr diyā bujhā to ḳhabar huī

sar-e-shām koī judā huā to ḳhabar huī

mirā ḳhush-ḳhirām balā kā tez-ḳhirām thā

mirī zindagī se chalā gayā to ḳhabar huī

mire saare harf tamām harf azaab the

mire kam-suḳhan ne suḳhan kiyā to ḳhabar huī

koī baat ban ke bigaḌ ga.ī to pata chalā

mire bevafā ne karam kiyā to ḳhabar huī

mire ham-safar ke safar kī samt hī aur thī

kahīñ rāsta koī gum huā to ḳhabar huī

mire qissa-go ne kahāñ kahāñ se baḌhā.ī baat

mujhe dāstāñ kā sirā milā to ḳhabar huī

na lahū kā mausam-e-rañg-rez na dil na maiñ

koī ḳhvāb thā ki bikhar gayā to ḳhabar huī

sar-e-baam-e-hijr diya bujha to KHabar hui

sar-e-sham koi juda hua to KHabar hui

mera KHush-KHiram bala ka tez-KHiram tha

meri zindagi se chala gaya to KHabar hui

mere sare harf tamam harf azab the

mere kam-suKHan ne suKHan kiya to KHabar hui

koi baat ban ke bigaD gai to pata chala

mere bewafa ne karam kiya to KHabar hui

mere ham-safar ke safar ki samt hi aur thi

kahin rasta koi gum hua to KHabar hui

mere qissa-go ne kahan kahan se baDhai baat

mujhe dastan ka sira mila to KHabar hui

na lahu ka mausam-e-rang-rez na dil na main

koi KHwab tha ki bikhar gaya to KHabar hui
