zist mein gham ka asar kal ki tarah aaj bhi hai
is safine mein bhanwar kal ki tarah aaj bhi hai

hadse kar na sake meri mohabbat ko fana
dard-e-dil dard-e-jigar kal ki tarah aaj bhi hai

ghair mumkin hai sanwar jae gulistan ka nizam
baghban tang-nazar kal ki tarah aaj bhi hai

dair-o-kaba ki fazaon ka nahin mujh pe asar
teri dahliz pe sar kal ki tarah aaj bhi hai

hai wahi rang wahi husn wahi ranai
tera kucha tera dar kal ki tarah aaj bhi hai

hum ne mana ki bahaar aai hai maikhane mein
pyas rindon mein magar kal ki tarah aaj bhi hai

ye alag baat hai honton pe hansi hai 'nayyar'
zakhm sine mein magar kal ki tarah aaj bhi hai
