na diya bosa-e-lab kha ke qasam bhul gae
de ke aisi mujhe eajaz ka dam bhul gae

chashm-o-abru ko tere dekh ke aata hai khayal
taq-e-kisra pe yahan saghar-e-jam bhul gae

ai shah-e-husn ye qalamen nahin aariz pe tere
katiban-e-khat-e-rukhsar qalam bhul gae

wo bhi kya din the ki aashiq the tumhaare hum bhi
ab to fariyaad-o-fughan dard-o-alam bhul gae

hae qismat ka likha aae to qasid ye kahe
khat tumhaare liye wo kar ke raqam bhul gae

tera gulzar hai kis bagh ki muli bulbul
ku-e-jaanan mein to hum bagh-e-iram bhul gae

chashm-e-bad-dur wo aankhen hain tumhaari sahab
dekh kar chaukdi aahu-e-haram bhul gae

aap ka dost hai ye apni baghal ka dushman
yaad dilwae wahin dil ne jo hum bhul gae

zaiqa maut ka bas yaad dila deta hai
kya qayamat hai ye kahna tera hum bhul gae

mirza mahr-e-mohabbat tumhein phir yaad aai
dil pe guzri thi jo kuchh ranj-o-alam bhul gae

rah gaya yaad tumhein jaur-o-jafa zulm-o-sitam
lutf-o-altaf-o-inayat-o-karam bhul gae

kaba-e-dil mein bas ab rahti hai allah ki yaad
rasta dair ka hum shakl-e-sanam bhul gae

yaad rahti hai faqat hum ko tere kucha ki
waizon se suna haal-e-iram bhul gae

yaad rakhne ki ye baaten hain baja hai sach hai
aap bhule na hamein aap ko hum bhul gae

dil se dil ko hai agar rah to hai yaad se yaad
tum hamein bhul gae tum ko bhi hum bhul gae

bas hamare hi liye aap ko nisyan bhi hai
kabhi ghairon ko na sahab koi dam bhul gae

kucha-e-zulf mein ya halqa-e-gesu mein tere
yaad aata hai yahin dil kahin hum bhul gae

sher-e-hindi jo sune 'mehr' jigar tafta ke
apna andaz-e-fasihan-e-ajam bhul gae
