na shikayat na gila yaad aaya
shewa-e-ahl-e-wafa yaad aaya

allah allah mera husn-e-nazar
but ko dekhe se khuda yaad aaya

gum hua jata hun baithe baithe
jalwa-e-hosh-ruba yaad aaya

us ke aane se khuda ko bhula
wo na aaya to khuda yaad aaya

bhul baitha hun main apne ghar ko
kyon tere ghar ka pata yaad aaya

is tarah dubi hai dil ki kashti
na-khuda ko bhi khuda yaad aaya

shiddat-e-gham se faraghat na hui
mujh ko hansna jo zara yaad aaya

band hoti nahin tarsi aankhen
hae kya waqt-e-qaza yaad aaya

ku-e-qatil ko chale ho 'nawwab'
baithe baithe tumhein kya yaad aaya
