aaj phir band-o-salasil ka khayal aaya hai
zulf-e-pur-pech ka aur dil ka khayal aaya hai

phir bagule hain rawan bahr-e-qadam-bosi-e-shauq
qais ko laili-e-mahmil ka khayal aaya hai

phir mah-e-gumbad-e-gardan se lagi hai bazi
hum ko apne mah-e-kaamil ka khayal aaya hai

aaj phir aankh se tapka hai koi qatra-e-khun
baad muddat hamein phir dil ka khayal aaya hai

karwan shauq ka hai paik-e-nazar se aage
dur se qurbat-e-manzil ka khayal aaya hai

dil ko us but se hai phir ajr-e-wafa ki ummid
sai-e-be-sud mein hasil ka khayal aaya hai

bandh kar dashna-o-khanjar jo nikal aae ho
aaj kya phir kisi bismil ka khayal aaya hai
