yaad-e-mazi ke diye yun dil-e-viran mein jalen
jis tarah shamen kisi gor-e-ghariban mein jalen

gham-e-dauran mein jalen ya gham-e-jaanan mein jalen
hum ko jalna hai sahar tak kisi aiwan mein jalen

rakh ke dher hain hum kaun kurede hum ko
lakh hum ahl-e-wafa aatish-e-pinhan mein jalen

aaj bujhne ko hai ye bhi dil-e-muflis ki tarah
kab tak aankhon ke kanwal furqat-e-jaanan mein jalen

hai hamara hi lahu jam mein raqsan saqi
hum wo hain jin ke makan jashn-e-bahaaran mein jalen

kash ho jae jahan shoala-ba-daman 'naqwi'
jism insan ke kyon aatish-e-insan mein jalen
