daman ki hawa yaad na zulfon ki ghata yaad
ab kuchh bhi nahin soz-e-gham-e-dil ke siwa yaad

sargarm-e-safar tha na raha kuchh bhi mujhe yaad
naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa yaad na manzil ka pata yaad

tum aa gae jab yaad to kuchh bhi na raha yaad
kab tum ne bhulaya mujhe kab tum ne kiya yaad

ab kuchh bhi nahin ek gham-e-dil ke siwa yaad
phir bhi hai teri nim-nigahi ki ada yaad

wo daur ki ab mujh ko zara bhi na raha yaad
yun aalam-e-furqat mein tujhe main ne kiya yaad

madhosh kiya jis ne mujhe soz-e-nawa se
ab tak hai wahi naghma-e-be-saz-o-sada yaad

allah re ye be-khudi-e-shauq ka aalam
kuche mein tere aa ke tera ghar na raha yaad

muddat hui khud apni nawa yaad na aai
ehsas ko ab tak hai magar teri sada yaad

yun subh rulane ke liye kam to nahin thi
kyon sham-e-judai ka samay aa hi gaya yaad

kuchh tujh ko jafaon ke siwa yaad nahin hai
lekin nahin kuchh mujh ko duaon ke siwa yaad

darta hun khabar gardish-e-dauran ko na ho jae
ai dost ye kyon aaj mujhe tu ne kiya yaad

nisyan ka 'hayat' is se talluq nahin kuchh bhi
un ki bhi jafa yaad hai apni bhi wafa yaad
