yaad hai pahle-pahal ki wo mulaqat ki baat
wo maze din ke na bhule hain na wo raat ki baat
kabhi masjid mein jo waiz ka bayan sunta hun
yaad aati hai mujhe pir-e-kharabaat ki baat
yaad piri mein kahan ab wo jawani ki tarang
subh hote hi hamein bhul gai raat ki baat
shaikh ji majma-e-zindan mein nasihat kaisi
kaun sunta hai yahan qibla-e-hajat ki baat
hae phir chhed diya zikr adu ka tum ne
phir nikali na wahi tark-e-mulaqat ki baat
jab liya ahd shab-e-wasl kaha is ne 'hafiz'
subh ko yaad rahegi ye hamein raat ki baat
