wo log mere bahut pyar karne wale the

vo log mere bahut pyaar karne vaale the

guzar ga.e haiñ jo mausam guzarne vaale the

na.ī rutoñ meñ dukhoñ ke bhī silsile haiñ na.e

vo zaḳhm taaza hue haiñ jo bharne vaale the

ye kis maqām pe sūjhī tujhe bichhaḌne kī

ki ab to jā ke kahīñ din sañvarne vaale the

hazār mujh se vo paimān-e-vasl kartā rahā

par us ke taur-tarīqe mukarne vaale the

tumheñ to faḳhr thā shīrāza-bandī-e-jāñ par

hamārā kyā hai ki ham to bikharne vaale the

tamām raat nahāyā thā shahr bārish meñ

vo rañg utar hī ga.e jo utarne vaale the

us ek chhoTe se qasbe pe rail Thahrī nahīñ

vahāñ bhī chand musāfir utarne vaale the

wo log mere bahut pyar karne wale the

guzar gae hain jo mausam guzarne wale the

nai ruton mein dukhon ke bhi silsile hain nae

wo zaKHm taza hue hain jo bharne wale the

ye kis maqam pe sujhi tujhe bichhaDne ki

ki ab to ja ke kahin din sanwarne wale the

hazar mujh se wo paiman-e-wasl karta raha

par us ke taur-tariqe mukarne wale the

tumhein to faKHr tha shiraaza-bandi-e-jaan par

hamara kya hai ki hum to bikharne wale the

tamam raat nahaya tha shahr barish mein

wo rang utar hi gae jo utarne wale the

us ek chhoTe se qasbe pe rail Thahri nahin

wahan bhi chand musafir utarne wale the
