rona zar-o-qatar chhod diya
hum ne ye karobar chhod diya

jis pe naqsh-e-qadam the majnun ke
hum ne wo khar-zar chhod diya

hum ne tare to gin liye lekin
aansuon ka shumar chhod diya

sath ummid hi ka main ne to
tha bahut khush-gawar chhod diya

jo bharosa tha soch par mujh ko
wo bhi parwardigar chhod diya

hum ne to aasra khuda ka bhi
jo ki tha paedar chhod diya

be-wafa jab lagi mujhe main ne
zindagi hi se pyar chhod diya

main ne to shaghl-e-shaeri 'rahat'
jab hua dil pe bar chhod diya
