dida-e-ashk-bar le ke chale
hum teri yaadgar le ke chale

dil mein taswir-e-yar le ke chale
hum qafas mein bahaar le ke chale

khwahish-e-did le ke aae the
hasrat-e-intizar le ke chale

samne us ke ek bhi na chali
dil mein baaten hazar le ke chale

hawas-e-gul mein hum bhi aae the
daman-e-tar-tar le ke chale

jo mere sath dubna chahe
mujh ko dariya ke par le ke chale

tum se apna hi bar uth na saka
hum zamane ka bar le ke chale

hum na isa na sarmad o mansur
log kyun su-e-dar le ke chale

bhar ke daman mein khak us dar ki
hum to ku-e-nigar le ke chale

zindagi mukhtasar mili thi hamein
hasraten be-shumar le ke chale

rup naghmon ka de ke hum 'naushad'
apne dil ki pukar le ke chale
