jin ko tauqir-e-rah-o-rasm-e-wafa yaad nahin
kya gila un se karen jin ko khuda yaad nahin

jaane aae bhi the khushbu ke sandese mujh ko
jaane guzri thi dabe panw saba yaad nahin

aap ne sath nibhane ka kiya tha wada
is pe kahte hain wo hum se ba-khuda yaad nahin

na raha sham-e-farozan mein bhi wo shoala-e-ishq
aur parwanon ko marne ki ada yaad nahin

ek ummid-e-masihai bhi aakhir kab tak
phir na kahna hamein aadab-e-wafa yaad nahin

shoala-e-gul se fana ho gai shabnam 'anjum'
meri hasti hui kyun khak zara yaad nahin
