purane doston se ab murawwat chhoD di humne

purāne dostoñ se ab muravvat chhoḌ dī ham ne

muazzaz ho ga.e ham bhī sharāfat chhoḌ dī ham ne

mayassar aa chukī hai sar-bulandī muḌ ke kyuuñ dekheñ

imāmat mil ga.ī ham ko to ummat chhoḌ dī ham ne

kise ma.alūm kyā hogā ma.aal ā.inda nasloñ kā

javāñ ho kar buzurgoñ kī rivāyat chhoḌ dī ham ne

ye mulk apnā hai aur is mulk kī sarkār apnī hai

milī hai naukrī jab se baġhāvat chhoḌ dī ham ne

hai utnā vāqi.a us se na milne kī qasam khā lī

ta.assuf is qadar goyā vazārat chhoḌ dī ham ne

kareñ kyā ye balā apne liye ḳhud muntaḳhab kī hai

gilā baaqī rahā lekin shikāyat chhoḌ dī ham ne

sitāre is qadar dekhe ki āñkheñ bujh ga.iiñ apnī

mohabbat is qadar kar lī mohabbat chhoḌ dī ham ne

jo sochā hai azīzoñ kī samajh meñ aa nahīñ saktā

sharārat ab ke ye kī hai sharārat chhoḌ dī ham ne

ulajh paḌte agar to ham meñ tum meñ farq kyā rahtā

yahī dīvār baaqī thī salāmat chhoḌ dī ham ne

gunahgāroñ meñ shāmil mudda.ī bhī aur mulzim bhī

tirā insāf dekhā aur adālat chhoḌ dī ham ne
