diwar yaad aa gai dar yaad aa gaya
do gam hi chale the ki ghar yaad aa gaya

kuchh kahna chahte the ki khamosh ho gae
dastar yaad aa gai sar yaad aa gaya

duniya ki be-rukhi ka gila kar rahe the log
hum ko tera tapak magar yaad aa gaya

phir tirgi-e-rahguzar yaad aa gai
phir wo charagh-e-rahguzar yaad aa gaya

'ajmal'-siraj hum use bhul hue to hain
kya jaane kya karenge agar yaad aa gaya
