hai dua yaad magar harf-e-dua yaad nahin
mere naghmat ko andaz-e-nawa yaad nahin

main ne palkon se dar-e-yar pe dastak di hai
main wo sail hun jise koi sada yaad nahin

main ne jin ke liye rahon mein bichhaya tha lahu
hum se kahte hain wahi ahd-e-wafa yaad nahin

kaise bhar aain sar-e-sham kisi ki aankhen
kaise tharrai charaghon ki ziya yaad nahin

sirf dhundlae sitaron ki chamak dekhi hai
kab hua kaun hua kis se khafa yaad nahin

zindagi jabr-e-musalsal ki tarah kati hai
jaane kis jurm ki pai hai saza yaad nahin

aao ek sajda karen aalam-e-madhoshi mein
log kahte hain ki 'saghar' ko khuda yaad nahin
