us sham wo rukhsat ka saman yaad rahega
wo shahr wo kucha wo makan yaad rahega

wo tis ki ubhri thi idhar yaad rahegi
wo dard ki uttha tha yahan yaad rahega

hum shauq ke shole ki lapak bhul bhi jaen
wo sham-e-fasurda ka dhuan yaad rahega

han bazm-e-shabana mein hama-shauq jo us din
hum the teri jaanib nigaran yaad rahega

kuchh 'mir' ke abyat the kuchh 'faiz' ke misre
ek dard ka tha jin mein bayan yaad rahega

aankhon mein sulagti hui wahshat ke jilau mein
wo hairat o hasrat ka jahan yaad rahega

jaan-bakhsh si us barg-e-gul-e-tar ki tarawat
wo lams-e-aziz-e-do-jahan yaad rahega

hum bhul sake hain na tujhe bhul sakenge
tu yaad rahega hamein han yaad rahega
