yan kise gham hai jo girya ne asar chhoD diya

yaañ kise ġham hai jo girya ne asar chhoḌ diyā

ham ne to shaġhl hī ai dīda-e-tar chhoḌ diyā

dil-e-betāb kā kuchh dhyān na aayā us dam

haa.e kyuuñ ham ne ise vaqt-e-sahar chhoḌ diyā

kyā satā.e nahīñ jaate haiñ va-lekin chup haiñ

shikva karnā tirā ai rashk-e-qamar chhoḌ diyā

dam-e-ruḳhsat kabhī kuchh dil kī tamannā na kahī

dāman-e-yār udhar pakḌā idhar chhoḌ diyā

dil kī ulfat na sahī pyaar kī bāteñ na sahī

dekhnā bhī to idhar ek nazar chhoḌ diyā

ġhair ke dhoke meñ ḳhat le ke mirā qāsid se

paḌhne ko paḌh to liyā naam magar chhoḌ diyā

ġhair se va.ada o iqrār hue kyā kyā kuchh

mere ḳhush karne ko ik fiqra udhar chhoḌ diyā

maiñ na kahtā thā ki bahkā.enge tum ko dushman

tum ne kis vāste aanā mire ghar chhoḌ diyā

muñh se jo kahte haiñ vo kar ke dikhā deñge tumheñ

be-qarārī ne hameñ chain pe gar chhoḌ diyā

huur bhī sāmne ab aa.e to kab dekheñ 'nizām'

barseñ guzreñ hameñ vo shauq-e-nazar chhoḌ diyā

yan kise gham hai jo girya ne asar chhoD diya

hum ne to shaghl hi ai dida-e-tar chhoD diya

dil-e-betab ka kuchh dhyan na aaya us dam

hae kyun hum ne ise waqt-e-sahar chhoD diya

kya satae nahin jate hain wa-lekin chup hain

shikwa karna tera ai rashk-e-qamar chhoD diya

dam-e-ruKHsat kabhi kuchh dil ki tamanna na kahi

daman-e-yar udhar pakDa idhar chhoD diya

dil ki ulfat na sahi pyar ki baaten na sahi

dekhna bhi to idhar ek nazar chhoD diya

ghair ke dhoke mein KHat le ke mera qasid se

paDhne ko paDh to liya nam magar chhoD diya

ghair se wada o iqrar hue kya kya kuchh

mere KHush karne ko ek fiqra udhar chhoD diya

main na kahta tha ki bahkaenge tum ko dushman

tum ne kis waste aana mere ghar chhoD diya

munh se jo kahte hain wo kar ke dikha denge tumhein

be-qarari ne hamein chain pe gar chhoD diya

hur bhi samne ab aae to kab dekhen 'nizam'

barsen guzren hamein wo shauq-e-nazar chhoD diya
