teġh-e-nafas ko bahut naaz thā raftār par

ho ga.ī āḳhir mire ḳhuuñ meñ nahā kar ḳhamosh

tegh-e-nafas ko bahut naz tha raftar par

ho gai aaKHir mere KHun mein naha kar KHamosh

guzarte jā rahe haiñ qāfile tū hī zarā ruk jā

ġhubār-e-rāh tere saath chalnā chāhtā huuñ maiñ

guzarte ja rahe hain qafile tu hi zara ruk ja

ghubar-e-rah tere sath chalna chahta hun main

dekh aa kar ki tire hijr meñ bhī zinda haiñ

tujh se bichhḌe the to lagtā thā ki mar jā.eñge

dekh aa kar ki tere hijr mein bhi zinda hain

tujh se bichhDe the to lagta tha ki mar jaenge

ham dil se rahe tez havāoñ ke muḳhālif

jab tham gayā tūfāñ to qadam ghar se nikālā

hum dil se rahe tez hawaon ke muKHalif

jab tham gaya tufan to qadam ghar se nikala

tere kūche kī havā pūchhe hai ab ham se

naam kyā hai kyā nasab hai ham kahāñ ke haiñ

tere kuche ki hawa puchhe hai ab hum se

nam kya hai kya nasab hai hum kahan ke hain
