dil-e-mayus mein hai teri yaad
jaise virana mein ho ganj-e-nihan

jaise mayusiyon ki zulmat mein
ek shua-e-umid ho larzan

jaise khamoshiyon mein sahra ki
ho sada-e-khiram-e-ju-e-rawan

jaise aarif ke dil mein nur-e-khuda
jaise aashiq ke sine mein arman

jaise bimar ko nawed-e-masih
jaise hatim ko muzhda-e-mehman

jaise nazuk si ek kashti ho
darmiyan-e-kashakash-e-tufan

jaise tute hue khandar mein hon
baqi pichhli imaraton ke nishan

hon chaman mein bache hue jaise
mausam-e-gul ke kuchh gul o raihan

jaise chingari zer-e-khakistar
jaise ek shoala-e-tah-e-daman

hai teri yaad zindagi meri
is ko de kar na lun main bagh-e-jinan

kabhi zahir hai dil ki dhadkan se
kabhi zabt-e-fughan mein hai pinhan

dard ban kar kabhi hai dil mein muqim
kabhi aankhon se ashk ban ke rawan

hon gharaz teri yaad se ai dost
hashr-bar-dosh khuld dar-daman
