dasht-e-tanhai mein kal raat hawa kaisi thi
dasht-e-tanhā.ī meñ kal raat havā kaisī thī
der tak TūTte lamhoñ kī sadā kaisī thī
zindagī ne mirā pīchhā nahīñ chhoḌā ab tak
umr bhar sar se na utrī ye balā kaisī thī
sunte rahte the mohabbat ke fasāne kyā kyā
buuñd bhar dil pe na barsī ye ghaTā kaisī thī
kyā milā faisla-e-tark-e-ta.alluq kar ke
tum jo bichhḌe the to hoñToñ pe duā kaisī thī
TuuT kar ḳhud jo vo bikhrā hai to mālūm huā
jis se lipTā thā vo dīvār-e-anā kaisī thī
jism se noch ke pheñkī bhī to ḳhushbū na ga.ī
ye rivāyāt kī bosīda qabā kaisī thī
Dūbte vaqt bhañvar pūchh rahā hai 'qaisar'
jab kināre se chale the to fazā kaisī thī
dasht-e-tanhai mein kal raat hawa kaisi thi
der tak TuTte lamhon ki sada kaisi thi
zindagi ne mera pichha nahin chhoDa ab tak
umr bhar sar se na utri ye bala kaisi thi
sunte rahte the mohabbat ke fasane kya kya
bund bhar dil pe na barsi ye ghaTa kaisi thi
kya mila faisla-e-tark-e-talluq kar ke
tum jo bichhDe the to honTon pe dua kaisi thi
TuT kar KHud jo wo bikhra hai to malum hua
jis se lipTa tha wo diwar-e-ana kaisi thi
jism se noch ke phenki bhi to KHushbu na gai
ye riwayat ki bosida qaba kaisi thi
Dubte waqt bhanwar puchh raha hai 'qaisar'
jab kinare se chale the to faza kaisi thi
