rakkha nahin ghurbat ne kisi ek ka bharam bhi

rakkhā nahīñ ġhurbat ne kisī ik kā bharam bhī

mai-ḳhāna bhī vīrāñ hai kalīsā bhī haram bhī

luuTā hai zamāne ne mirā besh bhī kam bhī

chhīnā thā tujhe chhīn liyā hai tirā ġham bhī

be-āb huā ab to mirā dīda-e-nam bhī

ai gardish-e-ālam tū kisī moḌ pe tham bhī

sun ai but-e-jāñ-dār but-e-sīmbar ai sun

toḌe na ga.e ham se to patthar ke sanam bhī

maiñ vasl kī bhī kar na sakā shiddat-e-ġham kam

aayā na kisī kaam tire hijr kā sam bhī

dīvār-e-sukūñ baiTh ga.ī shiddat-e-nam se

barsā hai mire ghar pe agar abr-e-karam bhī

tanhā.ī na pūchh apnī ki saath ahl-e-junūñ ke

chalte haiñ faqat chand qadam raah ke ḳham bhī

sahrā-e-ġham-e-jāñ meñ bagūloñ se bachā kaun

miT jā.eñge ai dost tire naqsh-e-qadam bhī

sunte haiñ chamaktā hai vo chāñd ab bhī sar-e-bām

hasrat hai ki bas ek nazar dekh leñ ham bhī

rakkha nahin ghurbat ne kisi ek ka bharam bhi

mai-KHana bhi viran hai kalisa bhi haram bhi

luTa hai zamane ne mera besh bhi kam bhi

chhina tha tujhe chhin liya hai tera gham bhi

be-ab hua ab to mera dida-e-nam bhi

ai gardish-e-alam tu kisi moD pe tham bhi

sun ai but-e-jaan-dar but-e-simbar ai sun

toDe na gae hum se to patthar ke sanam bhi

main wasl ki bhi kar na saka shiddat-e-gham kam

aaya na kisi kaam tere hijr ka sam bhi

diwar-e-sukun baiTh gai shiddat-e-nam se

barsa hai mere ghar pe agar abr-e-karam bhi

tanhai na puchh apni ki sath ahl-e-junun ke

chalte hain faqat chand qadam rah ke KHam bhi

sahra-e-gham-e-jaan mein bagulon se bacha kaun

miT jaenge ai dost tere naqsh-e-qadam bhi

sunte hain chamakta hai wo chand ab bhi sar-e-baam

hasrat hai ki bas ek nazar dekh len hum bhi
