yaad aur gham ki riwayat se nikla hua hai

yaad aur ġham kī rivāyāt se niklā huā hai

dil jo is vaqt mire haat se niklā huā hai

muḌ ke dekhe bhī to patthar nahīñ hotā koī

jaane kyā shahr-e-tilismāt se niklā huā hai

raat ye kaun sā mehmān mire ghar aayā

saarā ghar halqa-e-āfāt se niklā huā hai

hujra-e-hijr meñ baiThā hai jo majzūb-sifat

arsa-e-shor-e-munājāt se niklā huā hai

lashkarī gaañv pe shab-ḳhūn nahīñ māreñge

hausla gasht pe kal raat se niklā huā hai

mānte kab haiñ bhalā ūñche makānoñ vaale

shahr kā shahr mazāfāt se niklā huā hai

zar kā banda ho ki mahrūmī kā maarā huā shaḳhs

jis ko dekho vahī auqāt se niklā huā hai

yaad aur gham ki riwayat se nikla hua hai

dil jo is waqt mere hat se nikla hua hai

muD ke dekhe bhi to patthar nahin hota koi

jaane kya shahr-e-tilismat se nikla hua hai

raat ye kaun sa mehman mere ghar aaya

sara ghar halqa-e-afat se nikla hua hai

hujra-e-hijr mein baiTha hai jo majzub-sifat

arsa-e-shor-e-munajat se nikla hua hai

lashkari ganw pe shab-KHun nahin marenge

hausla gasht pe kal raat se nikla hua hai

mante kab hain bhala unche makanon wale

shahr ka shahr mazafat se nikla hua hai

zar ka banda ho ki mahrumi ka mara hua shaKHs

jis ko dekho wahi auqat se nikla hua hai
