kanton tumhein phulon ki chubhan yaad rahegi
bhuloge ki rudad-e-chaman yaad rahegi

kya bhulne degi wo mujhe raat-ki-rani
wo zulf wo khushbu-e-badan yaad rahegi

ye zakhm-e-dil-e-zar to bhar jaega ek din
lekin tere mathe ki shikan yaad rahegi

tha saya-fagan jis pe koi fath ka parcham
wo lash bhi be gor-o-kafan yaad rahegi

manzil pe maza degi mujhe lazzat-e-manzil
yani mujhe qadmon ki thakan yaad rahegi

ye sach hai mujhe dad ki khwahish nahin 'saulat'
na-qadri-e-arbab-e-sukhan yaad rahegi
