dard-e-dil soz-e-jigar yaad aaya
jab tera tir-e-nazar yaad aaya

khana-barbaad wahan ab kya hai
kaun si baat pe ghar yaad aaya

jite ji aap ne puchha mujh ko
li kabhi khair-khabar yaad aaya

yaad aaya hamein ek naqsh-e-qadam
hasil-e-rah-e-guzar yaad aaya

nakhl-e-ulfat ki jo yaad aai hamein
jo mila tha wo samar yaad aaya

mujh se ho jaegi ulfat ek din
bar bar us ko agar yaad aaya

main qafas mein bhi chununga tinke
aashiyan mujh ko agar yaad aaya

jab gaya sar se khudi ka sauda
hum ko allah ka ghar yaad aaya

hath uthate hi mila dil ko sukun
kya duaon ka asar yaad aaya

be-khud-e-shauq rahe hum jab tak
khair yaad aai na shar yaad aaya

apni be-rah-rawi par 'khushtar'
shewa-e-ahl-e-hunar yaad aaya
