zinda hain mere khwab ye kab yaad hai mujh ko
han tark-e-mohabbat ka sabab yaad hai mujh ko

tafsil-e-inayat to ab yaad nahin hai
par pahli mulaqat ki shab yaad hai mujh ko

khushbu ki rifaqat ka nasha tut raha hai
lekin wo safar dad-talab yaad hai mujh ko

ab sham ke hathon jo giraftar hai suraj
dopahar mein tha qahr-o-ghazab yaad hai mujh ko

aiwan meri ruh ke raushan kiye jis ne
wo shokhi-e-yak-jumbish-e-lab yaad hai mujh ko

kuchh din se muqayyad hun main virana-e-jaan mein
haalanki koi shahr-e-tarab yaad hai mujh ko

kyun yaad dilate ho mujhe chandni raaten
paiman-e-wafa tum se hai sab yaad hai mujh ko

wo shakhs 'khayal' aaj jo ru-posh hai mujh mein
the us mein kamalat ajab yaad hai mujh ko
