jo rah-e-mulaqat thi so jaan gae hum

jo rāh-e-mulāqāt thī so jaan ga.e ham

ai ḳhizr-e-tasavvur tire qurbān ga.e ham

jam.iyyat-e-husn aap kī sab par huī zāhir

jis bazm meñ bā-hāl-e-pareshān ga.e ham

us ghar ke tasavvur meñ juuñ hī band kiiñ āñkheñ

sad-shukr ki be-minnat-e-darbān ga.e ham

kal vāqif-kār apne se kahtā thā vo ye baat

'jur.at' ke jo ghar raat ko mehmān ga.e ham

kyā jāniye kam-baḳht ne kyā ham pe kiyā sehr

jo baat na thī mānñe kī maan ga.e ham

jo rah-e-mulaqat thi so jaan gae hum

ai KHizr-e-tasawwur tere qurban gae hum

jamiyyat-e-husn aap ki sab par hui zahir

jis bazm mein ba-haal-e-pareshan gae hum

us ghar ke tasawwur mein jun hi band kin aankhen

sad-shukr ki be-minnat-e-darban gae hum

kal waqif-kar apne se kahta tha wo ye baat

'jurat' ke jo ghar raat ko mehman gae hum

kya jaaniye kam-baKHt ne kya hum pe kiya sehr

jo baat na thi manne ki man gae hum
