teri mahfil tere kuche ka pata yaad nahin
phir bhi jite hain ki marne ki ada yaad nahin

main to chhod aaya tha ek bhid sar-e-rah-e-wafa
kaun kis mod se kab laut gaya yaad nahin

aaj dil par tapish-e-asr-e-rawan tari hai
aaj us shokh ki aanchal ki hawa yaad nahin

lazzat-e-zakhm-e-jigar talkhi-e-sahba-e-junun
ab koi chiz tere gham ke siwa yaad nahin

zehn be-ab chatanon ki tarah jalta hai
teri zulfen teri zulfon ki ghata yaad nahin

aap ne khud ko bataya tha masih-e-dauran
aap ko bhi mere zakhmon ki dawa yaad nahin

thi jab ek dhum hadis-e-lab-o-gesu 'ishrat'
wo zamane wo fazaen ba-khuda yaad nahin
