yaad ek be-rang be-mahak
murjhaya hua gulab

jis ke kanton ki chubhan
baqi rahti hai sada

yaad-e-mazi ki banai hui
ek dhundli taswir

mel nahin khata jis se haal ka chehra
phir bhi lagi hai dil ki diwar par

yaad tuta-phuta ek aisa khilauna
jis se insan dil bahlana chahe

be-kar hone ke bawajud
use phenkna nahin chahe

yaad ek sarab
zist ke registan mein

jo aur bhi badha de
thake haare musafir ki pyas
