hum ne dekhe the kabhi khwab suhane kya kya
yaad aate hain wahi guzre zamane kya kya

dard-e-dil yas-o-alam hasrat-o-arman aansu
dafn hain dil ke kharabe mein khazane kya kya

teri yaaden teri chahat teri furqat tera gham
tu ne bakhshe mujhe rone ke bahane kya kya

dil mein raushan hi rahe teri mohabbat ke charagh
aandhiyan aati rahin un ko bujhane kya kya

hain wo duniya ki nigahon mein ajaib-khane
log bhi chhod gae qasr purane kya kya

ahl-e-dil ab bhi tadap uthte hain sun kar un ko
hain zamane mein mohabbat ke fasane kya kya

dasht-o-sahra pe hi mauquf nahin hai hum ne
justuju mein teri dekhe hain thikane kya kya

sang-bari se nawaza hai tere shahr ne jab
roe hain mere liye aaina-khane kya kya

yaad-e-mazi ne mujhe jab bhi sataya hai 'zafar'
ek lamhe mein simat aae zamane kya kya
