bevaqūf apne ko kahte hue bāhar nikle

jab vahāñ sab the samajh-dār to ham kyā karte

bewaquf apne ko kahte hue bahar nikle

jab wahan sab the samajh-dar to hum kya karte

dil taḌap jaatā hai jis dam yaad aa jaate haiñ aap

aap se bichhḌe hameñ kitne zamāne ho ga.e

dil taDap jata hai jis dam yaad aa jate hain aap

aap se bichhDe hamein kitne zamane ho gae

merī ummīdoñ ke jitne the shajar suukh ga.e

jab kisī aur se jā kar vo milā shaam ke baa'd

meri ummidon ke jitne the shajar sukh gae

jab kisi aur se ja kar wo mila sham ke ba'd

pahle to ḳhud ko dafn kiyā apnī qabr meñ

phir apnā marsiya bhī sunānā paḌā mujhe

pahle to KHud ko dafn kiya apni qabr mein

phir apna marsiya bhi sunana paDa mujhe

un kī tahzīb ho ga.ī ruḳhsat

tujh se phereñ haiñ jo nazar urdu

un ki tahzib ho gai ruKHsat

tujh se pheren hain jo nazar urdu
