nashad tha nashad hai ma'lum nahin kyon
dil 'ishq mein barbaad hai ma'lum nahin kyon

dekha tha kabhi khwab-e-hasin main ne bhi ai dost
itna to mujhe yaad hai ma'lum nahin kyon

baqi hai abhi tul-e-shab-e-hijr ka 'alam
dil sham se nashad hai ma'lum nahin kyon

barbaad hua jis ke taghaful se mera dil
dil mein wahi aabaad hai ma'lum nahin kyon

har chand ki dil kushta-e-bedad hai lekin
nala hai na fariyaad hai ma'lum nahin kyon

jo sab ke liye lutf-o-'inayat ka hai paikar
mere liye jallad hai ma'lum nahin kyon

main bhi kahin aabaad tha ye yaad nahin hai
mujh mein koi aabaad hai ma'lum nahin kyon

ai 'dard' qafas mein bahut aaram hai lekin
gulshan ki faza yaad hai ma'lum nahin kyon
