yaad hai ab tak mujhe ahd-e-jawani yaad hai
dil ke basne aur ujadne ki kahani yaad hai

yaad hai ab tak kisi ki mehrbani yaad hai
aarizon par apne ashkon ki rawani yaad hai

bistar-e-hirman pe wo pahlu badalna bar bar
gham ki raaton mein wo qahr-e-asmani yaad hai

ruthne aur ruth kar manne ke har andaz ki
mehrbani yaad hai na-mehrbani yaad hai

yaad hai ab tak mujhe wo aalam-e-guft-o-shunid
ru-ba-ru-e-dost paigham-e-zabani yaad hai

yaad hai ab tak tere maktub-e-rangin ki bahaar
sada sada kaghazon par gul-fishani yaad hai

bar bar uthna sar-e-mahfil nigah-e-naz ka
gardish-e-jam-e-sharab-e-arghawani yaad hai

qurb ki ghadiyon mein gahe hijr ke lamhat mein
kaamrani yaad hai na-kaamrani yaad hai

bargah-e-husn mein ai 'barq' fart-e-roab se
yaad hai ab tak wo apni be-zabani yaad hai
