    tujhe hai shikva ki shahr-e-nigār chhoḌ ke maiñ

    nashāt-e-shām-e-tarab bahār chhoḌ ke maiñ

    na jaane kaun bastī meñ basā huuñ aaj

    na.ī hayāt ke be-rang dā.eroñ qasam

    na koī dost na koī rafīq-e-manzil-e-ġham

    hayāt-o-maut ke do-rāhe par khaḌā huuñ aaj

    mirī hayāt hai ḳhud ek be-karāñ sahrā

    na jis meñ sāya-e-gul hai na jis meñ raqs-e-sabā

    na tere jism ḳhushbū na pairahan damak

    na chūḌiyoñ ke chhanāke na qahqahoñ khanak

    na āñchaloñ bahāreñ na ārizoñ ke sharār

    na tere sīna-e-nauras ke zer-o-bam ḳhumār

    na zikr-e-surḳhī-e-lab aur na terī chashm baat

    tirī jabīñ ujālā na terī zulf raat

    qadam qadam pe bagūle ravish ravish pe babūl

    nazar nazar se ulajhte hue ye vīrāne

    hazār sadiyoñ afsurdagī sameTe hue

    har ek zarre meñ pinhāñ haiñ laakh afsāne

    na jaane kitnī pur-armān dulhanoñ ke ḳhvāb

    lahū meñ role ga.e ḳhaak meñ milā.e ga.e

    na jaane azmat-e-ādam ke kis qadar mahtāb

    qafas zulmat-e-shab-tāb meñ chhupā.e ga.e

    na jaane kitne shahoñ ne ba-nām-e-lutf-o-karam

    mahaktī kaliyoñ se apne haram sajā.e haiñ

    na jaane kitne shahoñ ne ba-faiz-e-jabr-o-sitam

    gudāz-jism javāñ-e-lab yahāñ churā.e haiñ

    na jaane kitnī nigāhoñ se nuur chhīnā gayā

    dayār-e-dard ke mahloñ raushnī ke liye

    na jaane kitne diloñ se lahū nichoḌā gayā

    na.e ḳhudāoñ ke chehroñ tāzgī ke liye

    na jaane kitne gharoñ ke diye bujhā.e ga.e

    shaboñ ke rāj-dulāroñ zindagī ke liye

    dayār-e-sabza-o-naġhma se duur sahrā meñ

    maiñ chun rahā huuñ vo anmol āñsuoñ ke phuul

    jinheñ bahār ne Thukrā diyā hiqārat se

    jinheñ ḳhizāoñ dāman bhī kar sakā na qubūl

    Tapak ke aañkh se jo kho ga.e añdheroñ meñ

    in āñsuoñ se jalā.eñge zindagī ke charāġh

    ubal paḌeñgī jabīnoñ se nuur kirneñ

    sulag uTheñgī umañgeñ dahak uTheñge dimāġh

    na.ī hayāt ke be-rang dā.eroñ qasam

    uThā ke sub.h-e-tamannā ke zarfishāñ-parcham

    maqām-e-āḳhir-e-shab se guzar rahe haiñ aaj

    tujhe hai shikwa ki shahr-e-nigar chhoD ke main

    nashat-e-sham-e-tarab ki bahaar chhoD ke main

    na jaane kaun si basti mein ja basa hun aaj

    nai hayat ke be-rang daeron ki qasam

    na koi dost na koi rafiq-e-manzil-e-gham

    hayat-o-maut ke do-rahe par khaDa hun aaj

    meri hayat hai KHud ek be-karan sahra

    na jis mein saya-e-gul hai na jis mein raqs-e-saba

    na tere jism ki KHushbu na pairahan ki damak

    na chuDiyon ke chhanake na qahqahon ki khanak

    na aanchalon ki bahaaren na aarizon ke sharar

    na tere sina-e-nauras ke zer-o-bam ka KHumar

    na zikr-e-surKHi-e-lab aur na teri chashm ki baat

    teri jabin ka ujala na teri zulf ki raat

    qadam qadam pe bagule rawish rawish pe babul

    nazar nazar se ulajhte hue ye virane

    hazar sadiyon ki afsurdagi sameTe hue

    har ek zarre mein pinhan hain lakh afsane

    na jaane kitni pur-arman dulhanon ke KHwab

    lahu mein role gae KHak mein milae gae

    na jaane azmat-e-adam ke kis qadar mahtab

    qafas ki zulmat-e-shab-tab mein chhupae gae

    na jaane kitne shahon ne ba-nam-e-lutf-o-karam

    mahakti kaliyon se apne haram sajae hain

    na jaane kitne shahon ne ba-faiz-e-jabr-o-sitam

    gudaz-jism jawan-e-lab yahan churae hain

    na jaane kitni nigahon se nur chhina gaya

    dayar-e-dard ke mahlon ki raushni ke liye

    na jaane kitne dilon se lahu nichoDa gaya

    nae KHudaon ke chehron ki tazgi ke liye

    na jaane kitne gharon ke diye bujhae gae

    shabon ke raj-dularon ki zindagi ke liye

    dayar-e-sabza-o-naghma se dur sahra mein

    main chun raha hun wo anmol aansuon ke phul

    jinhen bahaar ne Thukra diya hiqarat se

    jinhen KHizaon ka daman bhi kar saka na qubul

    Tapak ke aankh se jo kho gae andheron mein

    in aansuon se jalaenge zindagi ke charagh

    ubal paDengi jabinon se nur ki kirnen

    sulag uThengi umangen dahak uThenge dimagh

    nai hayat ke be-rang daeron ki qasam

    uTha ke subh-e-tamanna ke zarfishan-parcham

    maqam-e-aKHir-e-shab se guzar rahe hain aaj
