wo sham dhale tera milna wo tera hansana yaad nahin
jo teri rifaqat mein guzra hum ko wo zamana yaad nahin

manzil hai kahan kuchh yaad nahin kis samt hai jaana yaad nahin
ab tera pata hum kya puchhen khud apna thikana yaad nahin

kya tujh se bahana koi karen ab koi bahana yaad nahin
hum aa to gae mahfil mein teri par der se aana yaad nahin

ai ahl-e-zamana zid na karo wo daur purana yaad nahin
ab un ki kahani kya kahiye khud apna fasana yaad nahin

wo chandni-shab phulon ki mahak wo thandi hawaon ke jhonke
tu itni jaldi bhul gaya mausam wo suhana yaad nahin

wo raat wo barish tufani us raat ka manzar yaad to kar
wo ek duje ko mithi dish kya tum ko khilana yaad nahin

ilzam-tarashi to 'saghar' duniya ka purana shewa hai
yusuf pe zamane ka tujh ko kya ungli uthana yaad nahin
