der tak uTh na saka wan se wo diwana-e-dost

der tak uTh na sakā vaañ se vo dīvāna-e-dost

chhiḌ gayā jab ki kahīñ baiTh ke afsāna-e-dost

aaj uThe jaate haiñ darbāñ kī jafā se lekin

zindagī bhar kahīñ chhuTtā hai dar-e-ḳhāna-e-dost

hijr meñ hālat-e-dil kī haiñ vo āñkheñ nigarāñ

dekhī thī jin se kabhī raunaq-e-kāshāna-e-dost

rāhbar shauq-e-dilī sar pe ajal dil betāb

be-ḳhabar yuuñ maiñ chalā huuñ taraf-e-ḳhāna-e-dost

aaj kyuuñ had se sivā dil ko ḳhushī hai 'mahshar'

kyā bulā.e hue jaate ho sū-e-ḳhāna-e-dost

der tak uTh na saka wan se wo diwana-e-dost

chhiD gaya jab ki kahin baiTh ke afsana-e-dost

aaj uThe jate hain darban ki jafa se lekin

zindagi bhar kahin chhuTta hai dar-e-KHana-e-dost

hijr mein haalat-e-dil ki hain wo aankhen nigaran

dekhi thi jin se kabhi raunaq-e-kashana-e-dost

rahbar shauq-e-dili sar pe ajal dil betab

be-KHabar yun main chala hun taraf-e-KHana-e-dost

aaj kyun had se siwa dil ko KHushi hai 'mahshar'

kya bulae hue jate ho su-e-KHana-e-dost
