apne ahd-e-wafa ko bhul gae
tum to bilkul khuda ko bhul gae

kuchh na puchh intiha-e-ranj-e-firaq
dard pa kar dawa ko bhul gae

hum ne yaad-e-butan mein dam toda
marte marte khuda ko bhul gae

un ki baaton ko yaad karta hun
jo meri iltija ko bhul gae

darmiyani talluqat na puchh
ibtida intiha ko bhul gae

un se do din bhi chah nibh na saki
'muztar'-e-be-nawa ko bhul gae
