yaad tumhaari aai hai barsaton mein

yaad tumhaari aai hai barsaton mein
phul khile zakhmon ke bhigi raaton mein
jis mein koi khun na ho armanon ka
aisi koi raat nahin hai raaton mein


chumega ek 'alam rahti duniya tak
sang jo tum ne bheje hain saughaton mein
un ka lahja un ki baaten kya kahiye
waqt guzar jata hai baaton baaton mein


shahron ki rangini ras na aaegi
sathi mera chhut gaya dehaton mein
chadar mein munh dhanke yunhi lete hain
nind kahan aai hai ujdi raaton mein


zat ke andar kyon mera dam ghutta hai
zinda hain sab apni apni zaton mein
daulat mere pas nahin lekin 'irfan'
main ne khud ko bant diya khairaaton mein
