in ko dekha tha kahin yaad nahin
aasman tha ki zamin yaad nahin

chand taron ki mundi thin aankhen
tha kahan mehr-e-mubin yaad nahin

naghma hi naghma tha ya rang hi rang
hum makan the ki makin yaad nahin

ahd-o-paiman ki jhamakti shamen
kis tarah dub gain yaad nahin

ab ye aalam hai ki khud hum ko bhi
kyun hue barq-nashin yaad nahin

maut pyari jo laga karti hai
is qadar kyun hai ghamin yaad nahin

ras bhari subhen nashili shamen
kis ke hamrah gain yaad nahin

rakh ke dher hain chaaron jaanib
bastiyan kaise lutin yaad nahin

jin ki tabir hain aansu 'shohrat'
aaj wo khwab-e-hasin yaad nahin
