manzar-e-sarw-o-saman yaad aaya
phir se gum-gashta watan yaad aaya

pichhe ab kya hai ghubar-e-rafta
dahr mein bagh-e-adan yaad aaya

baal-o-par tut chuke the jis waqt
hamein parwaz ka fan yaad aaya

phir kisi shakh pe koyal boli
phir tera rang-e-sukhan yaad aaya

awwal ek shakhs ki yaad aai bahut
doem ek sanp ka phan yaad aaya

ek din socha ki ujle ho jaen
tan ko dhoya tha ki man yaad aaya

khun sa rah gaya dil mein jo shakhs
aaj phir ban ke chubhan yaad aaya

phir se dil dub raha hai 'betab'
phir zamane ka chalan yaad aaya
