woh khushiyon ka hansta jahaan chhod aaye
safar ke liye aashiyaan chhod aaye
jahaan hum ne dil men safar ki thi thaanii
waheen fikr-e suud-o-zayaan chhod aaye
farebon ke jo ghar bhi aabaad the
woh ghar fuunk daale dhuaan chhod aaye
guzarte hue waqt kii ret par
qadam ke hum apne nishaan chhod aaye
jahaan ssans lena tha mushkil bahut
zameen chhod dii aasmaan chhod aaye
jahaan der tak rukna mumkin na tha
wahaan apni hum daastaan chhod aaye
jo insaan ghum se pareshaan the
hansaaya unhen shaadmaan chhod aaye
mile the jo aqdaar aslaaf se
unhen hum na jaane kahaan chhod aaye
jahaan dil lagaane men ruswaiyan thiin
woh dar aur woh aastaan chhod aaye
jo dil ko hamaare lubhaata bahut tha
bahaaron ka dilkash samaan chhod aaye
na majboor kar den kahiin un ke aansoo
yehii soch kar hum makaan chhod aaye
guzarna tha humko guzar hii gaye
magar yaad ka kaarvaan chhod aaye
akele safar par chale Shaikh jii
sabhii hum-sukhan hum-zabaan chhod aaye
