tujhe yaad hai sabhi jaan-ba-lab tere raston mein khade rahe
ki dam-e-widaa tujhe dekh len

kahin jholiyan thin khuli hui
kahin chashm chashm ajib rangon ka raqs tha

koi khwab tha koi aks tha
tujhe yaad hai to bata mujhe

pas-e-sham-e-shahr hawa-e-dahr ko kya hua
shab-e-hijr koi kahan gaya

main utha jo bistar-e-khwab se
to koi na tha mere chaar-su

jo bata sake
jo gawah ho

sar-e-baam kis ki nazar bujhi
pas-e-sham kis ka lahu jala
