rang-e-dil rang-e-nazar yaad aaya
tere jalwon ka asar yaad aaya

wo nazar ban gai paigham-e-hayat
halqa-e-sham-o-sahar yaad aaya

ye zamana ye dil-e-diwana
rishta-e-sang-o-guhar yaad aaya

ye naya shahr ye raushan rahen
apna andaz-e-safar yaad aaya

rah ka rup bani dhup apni
koi saya na shajar yaad aaya

kab na us shahr mein patthar barse
kab na us shahr mein sar yaad aaya

ghar mein tha dasht-nawardi ka khayal
dasht mein aae to ghar yaad aaya

gard udti hai sar-e-rah-e-khayal
dil-e-nadan ka safar yaad aaya

ek hansti hui badli dekhi
ek jalta hua ghar yaad aaya

is tarah sham ke sae phaile
raat ka pichhla pahar yaad aaya

phir chale ghar se tamasha ban kar
phir tera rauzan-e-dar yaad aaya

kisi patthar ki haqiqat hi kya
dil ka aaina magar yaad aaya

aanch daman-e-saba se aai
eatibar-e-gul-e-tar yaad aaya

dil jala dhup mein aisa ab ke
panw yaad aae na sar yaad aaya

gar pade hath se kaghaz 'baqi'
apni mehnat ka samar yaad aaya
