dillī chhuTī thī pahle ab lucknow bhī chhoḌeñ

do shahar the ye apne donoñ tabāh nikle

dilli chhuTi thi pahle ab lucknow bhi chhoDen

do shahar the ye apne donon tabah nikle

kyā kahūñ tujh se mohabbat vo balā hai hamdam

mujh ko ibrat na huī ġhair ke mar jaane se

kya kahun tujh se mohabbat wo bala hai hamdam

mujh ko ibrat na hui ghair ke mar jaane se

marne ke din qarīb haiñ shāyad ki ai hayāt

tujh se tabī.at apnī bahut sair ho ga.ī

marne ke din qarib hain shayad ki ai hayat

tujh se tabiat apni bahut sair ho gai

ba.ad tauba ke bhī hai dil meñ ye hasrat baaqī

de ke qasmeñ koī ik jaam pilā de ham ko

baad tauba ke bhi hai dil mein ye hasrat baqi

de ke qasmen koi ek jam pila de hum ko

dekhā hai mujhe apnī ḳhushāmad meñ jo masrūf

is but ko ye dhokā hai ki islām yahī hai

dekha hai mujhe apni KHushamad mein jo masruf

is but ko ye dhoka hai ki islam yahi hai
