jis din se apna tarz-e-faqirana chhuT gaya

jis din se apnā tarz-e-faqīrāna chhuT gayā

shāhī to mil ga.ī dil-e-shāhāna chhuT gayā

koī to ġham-gusār thā koī to dost thā

ab kis ke paas jaa.eñ ki vīrāna chhuT gayā

duniyā tamām chhuT ga.ī paimāne ke liye

vo mai-kade meñ aa.e to paimāna chhuT gayā

kyā tez-pā the din kī tamāzat ke qāfile

hāthoñ se rishta-e-shab-e-afsāna chhuT gayā

ik din hisāb hogā ki duniyā ke vāste

kin sāhiboñ kā maslak-e-rindāna chhuT gayā

jis din se apna tarz-e-faqirana chhuT gaya

shahi to mil gai dil-e-shahana chhuT gaya

koi to gham-gusar tha koi to dost tha

ab kis ke pas jaen ki virana chhuT gaya

duniya tamam chhuT gai paimane ke liye

wo mai-kade mein aae to paimana chhuT gaya

kya tez-pa the din ki tamazat ke qafile

hathon se rishta-e-shab-e-afsana chhuT gaya

ek din hisab hoga ki duniya ke waste

kin sahibon ka maslak-e-rindana chhuT gaya
