aabaad kabhi apna bhi virana-e-dil tha
ābād kabhī apnā bhī vīrāna-e-dil thā
ik sham.a-e-pur-nūr thā kāshāna-e-dil thā
luuTā gayā thā ek ḳhazāna se jo māmūr
hai ab to ḳharāba vahī jo ḳhāna-e-dil thā
sañg-sitam-charḳh se mai ḳhaak ne pī aur
yak-laḳht huā chuur paimāna-e-dil thā
ḳhud ho gayā afsāna vahī kis se kaheñ ab
marġhūb hamārā jise afsāna-e-dil thā
kyuuñ 'mashriqī'-e-ġham-zada kā dil na ho bechain
ab qabr kī hai jaan jo jānāna-e-dil thā
aabaad kabhi apna bhi virana-e-dil tha
ek shama-e-pur-nur tha kashana-e-dil tha
luTa gaya tha ek KHazana se jo mamur
hai ab to KHaraba wahi jo KHana-e-dil tha
sang-sitam-charKH se mai KHak ne pi aur
yak-laKHt hua chur paimana-e-dil tha
KHud ho gaya afsana wahi kis se kahen ab
marghub hamara jise afsana-e-dil tha
kyun 'mashriqi'-e-gham-zada ka dil na ho bechain
ab qabr ki hai jaan jo jaanana-e-dil tha
