tu bhi ab chhoD de sath ai gham-e-duniya mera

tū bhī ab chhoḌ de saath ai ġham-e-duniyā merā

merī bastī meñ nahīñ koī shanāsā merā

shab-e-ġham paar lagā de ye safīnā merā

sub.h hogī to utar jā.egā dariyā merā

mujh ko mālūm nahīñ naam hai ab kyā merā

DhūñDne vaale mujhe chhoḌ de pīchhā merā

maiñ ne dekhī nahīñ barsoñ se ḳhud apnī sūrat

mere ā.īne se rūThā hai sarāpā merā

tū bhī ḳhvāboñ meñ milī maiñ bhī dhuñdlakoñ meñ tujhe

zindagī dekh kabhī ġhaur se chehrā merā

ghar se niklā huuñ to ab duur kahīñ jaane de

rok ai gardish-e-ayyām na rastā merā

do qadam dauḌ ke āvāz-e-jaras baiTh ga.ī

chal paḌā maiñ to kahīñ paañv na Thahrā merā

mere dāman meñ rahī ḳhāk-e-ġharīb-ul-vatanī

rah gayā dekh ke muñh dāman-e-sahrā merā

tu bhi ab chhoD de sath ai gham-e-duniya mera

meri basti mein nahin koi shanasa mera

shab-e-gham par laga de ye safina mera

subh hogi to utar jaega dariya mera

mujh ko malum nahin nam hai ab kya mera

DhunDne wale mujhe chhoD de pichha mera

main ne dekhi nahin barson se KHud apni surat

mere aaine se ruTha hai sarapa mera

tu bhi KHwabon mein mili main bhi dhundlakon mein tujhe

zindagi dekh kabhi ghaur se chehra mera

ghar se nikla hun to ab dur kahin jaane de

rok ai gardish-e-ayyam na rasta mera

do qadam dauD ke aawaz-e-jaras baiTh gai

chal paDa main to kahin panw na Thahra mera

mere daman mein rahi KHak-e-gharib-ul-watani

rah gaya dekh ke munh daman-e-sahra mera
