jab kabhi us ki yaad aai hai
sau bahaaren jilau mein lai hai

ho na ho us ki yaad aai hai
umr-e-rafta ko sath lai hai

baada-e-ishq ka surur na puchh
us ne pi kar mujhe pilai hai

kash mil jae phir ganwane ko
zindagi hum ne jo ganwai hai

mujh ko ehsas-e-rang-o-bu na hua
yun bhi aksar bahaar aai hai

tabish-e-mehr-o-mah hai phiki
jab se wusat nazar ne pai hai

tere bandon ko kya hua ya-rab
tujh se dawa-e-ashnai hai

us se hum dad-khwah-e-ulfat hain
jo faqat mahw-e-khud-numai hai

lala-o-gul mein dhundhne walo
us ne surat kabhi dikhai hai

shikwa-e-narasi-o-nakaami
e'tiraf-e-shikasta-pai hai
