aaghaz-e-jafa yaad na anjam-e-wafa yaad
jab samne tum aae to kuchh bhi na raha yaad

ab yaad nasheman hai na bijli ki jafa yaad
nikle the kuchh aise ki chaman tak na raha yaad

jis ne meri soi hui duniya ko jagaya
aa jati hai ab bhi wo mohabbat ki sada yaad

ehsas sa hota hai dhadakte hue dil ko
shayad mujhe bhuli hui duniya ne kiya yaad

jo dil mein tamanna tha jo aankhon mein sharar tha
ab bhi hai us aansu ke tapakne ki sada yaad

didar ki hasrat thi tamanna thi gila tha
jab hosh mujhe aaya to kuchh bhi na raha yaad

wo aatish-e-rukhsar na wo shoala-o-saghar
kuchh bhi nahin makhmur nigahon ke siwa yaad

jis ne ki milae the sitaron se sitare
ab tak hai us angdai ke lene ki ada yaad

phulon mein wo halki si kali khil gai jaise
ai 'fazl' wo andaz-e-tabassum hi raha yaad
