malbus-e-ghubar yaad rakhna
ye rahguzar yaad rakhna

ek sham-e-khizan yahin kahin hai
ai subh-e-bahaar yaad rakhna

hum kashti-e-ishq ke musafir
utre nahin par yaad rakhna

ai zakhma-waran-e-barbat-e-dil
tute hue tar yaad rakhna

patjhad ki hawaen chikhti hain
kya saut-e-hazar yaad rakhna

hum jate hain bar-e-gham uthae
ai shahr-e-nigar yaad rakhna

ibrat ka maqam hai ye duniya
viran dayar yaad rakhna

ai wadi-e-gul ko jaane wale
raston ke ye khar yaad rakhna

milti hai ghamon se bhi basirat
zakhmon ka shumar yaad rakhna

bachpan ke makan ka nakhl-e-hamraaz
ye haar singhaar yaad rakhna

ye harf hai raushni-e-farda
harf sar-e-dar yaad rakhna

shayad main ye khwab bhul jaun
tum ai mere yar yaad rakhna
