ye tumne panw kya rakkha hua tha

ye tum ne paañv kyā rakkhā huā thā

zamīñ ne hausla rakkhā huā thā

parindoñ se hamārī dostī thī

shajar se vāsta rakkhā huā thā

tabhī ham jī rahe the ḳhush-dilī se

ki tum ne rābta rakkhā huā thā

ba-zāhir lag rahī thī iiñT lekin

saḌak par hādisa rakkhā huā thā

kisī ne ghar baḌe rakkhe hue the

kisī ne dil baḌā rakkhā huā thā

tirī nisbat se sab kuchh mil rahā thā

vagarna mujh meñ kyā rakkhā huā thā

havā-e-āḳhir-e-shab ne diyoñ se

sulūk-e-nāravā rakkhā huā thā

ye tum ne panw kya rakkha hua tha

zamin ne hausla rakkha hua tha

parindon se hamari dosti thi

shajar se wasta rakkha hua tha

tabhi hum ji rahe the KHush-dili se

ki tum ne rabta rakkha hua tha

ba-zahir lag rahi thi inT lekin

saDak par hadisa rakkha hua tha

kisi ne ghar baDe rakkhe hue the

kisi ne dil baDa rakkha hua tha

teri nisbat se sab kuchh mil raha tha

wagarna mujh mein kya rakkha hua tha

hawa-e-aKHir-e-shab ne diyon se

suluk-e-narawa rakkha hua tha
