ai sogwar yaad bhi hai tujh ko ya nahin
wo raat jab hayat ki zulfen daraaz thin

jab raushni ke narm kanwal the bujhe bujhe
jab saat-e-abad ki lawen nim-baz thin

jab sari zindagi ki ibaadat-guzariyan
teri gunahgar nazar ka jawaz thin

ek dubte hue ne kisi ko bacha liya
ek tera zindagi ne kisi ko nigah di

har lamha apni aag mein jalne ke bawajud
har lamha zamharir-e-mohabbat ko rah di

hum ne to tujh se dur ki hamdardiyan dikhain
tu ne kisi se rasm-e-wafa bhi nibah di
