ye safar KHatm na ho

ham-safar tū ne idhar kaash na dekhā hotā

kam nigāhī ne tirī kaisī kashish chhalkā dī

munjamid ho gayā aazar kā koī ḳhvāb-e-hasīñ

kyoñ mirī jur.at-e-rindāna mujhe lauTā dī

ham-safar tū ne idhar kaash na dekhā hotā

chāñd kā ḳhvāb nigāhoñ meñ utar aaya hai

dam-ba-ḳhud ho ke kabhī hoñT dabāne ke nisār

jī meñ kuchh soch ke muskān chhupāne ke nisār

tujh se kuchh rabt nahīñ rabt kā armān nahīñ

raah meñ phir kahīñ mil jaane kā imkān nahīñ

dil kī chāhat hai yahī saath chalūñ chaltā huuñ

ye safar ḳhatm na ho rāhguzar ḳhatm na ho

mere ash.ār meñ Dhal jā ki ḳhizāñ chhū na sake

tā-abad husn tirā yūñhī tar-o-tāza rahe

aaj phir dil kā koī zaḳhm ubhar aaya hai

ham-safar tu ne idhar kash na dekha hota

kam nigahi ne teri kaisi kashish chhalka di

munjamid ho gaya aazar ka koi KHwab-e-hasin

kyon meri jurat-e-rindana mujhe lauTa di

ham-safar tu ne idhar kash na dekha hota

chand ka KHwab nigahon mein utar aaya hai

dam-ba-KHud ho ke kabhi honT dabane ke nisar

ji mein kuchh soch ke muskan chhupane ke nisar

tujh se kuchh rabt nahin rabt ka arman nahin

rah mein phir kahin mil jaane ka imkan nahin

dil ki chahat hai yahi sath chalun chalta hun

ye safar KHatm na ho rahguzar KHatm na ho

mere ashaar mein Dhal ja ki KHizan chhu na sake

ta-abad husn tera yunhi tar-o-taza rahe

aaj phir dil ka koi zaKHm ubhar aaya hai
