kaif-e-jaan nur-e-basar yaad aaya
arsa-e-harf-o-hunar yaad aaya

dasht-e-imkan ki pahnai mein
khak bar-sar the ki ghar yaad aaya

lutte lutte bhi dil-e-mahzun ko
dard ka rakht-e-safar yaad aaya

jab ganwa aae mata-e-hasti
tab hamein jaan ka zarar yaad aaya

bazm-e-jaanan hi sahi bazm-e-khayal
dil ka sannata magar yaad aaya

shab-e-mahjuri mein hangam-e-nazaa
matl-e-nur-e-sahar yaad aaya

phir bujha dip koi palkon par
phir mujhe dida-e-tar yaad aaya

kaun mange hai shabistan-e-visal
bas ek aashufta-nazar yaad aaya

phir hua dil mein khayalon ka hujum
phir hamein silk-e-guhar yaad aaya
