ab uski yaad satane ko bar bar aae
ab us kī yaad satāne ko baar baar aa.e
vo zindagī jo tire shahr meñ guzār aa.e
ye bebasī bhī nahīñ lutf-e-iḳhtiyār se kam
ḳhudā kare na kabhī dil pe iḳhtiyār aa.e
qadam qadam pe gulistāñ khile the raste meñ
ajiib log haiñ ham bhī ki sū-e-dār aa.e
na chahchahe na surūd-e-shaguftagī na mahak
kise ab aisī bahāroñ pe e'tibār aa.e
junūñ ko ab ke garebāñ se kyā milegā ki ham
ba-faiz-e-mausam-e-gul pairahan utaar aa.e
tirī lagan ne zamāne kī ḳhaak chhanvā.ī
tirī talab meñ tamām ārzueñ haar aa.e
ye faḳhr kam to nahīñ kū-e-yār meñ 'nik.hat'
na sharmsār ga.e the na sharmsār aa.e
ab us ki yaad satane ko bar bar aae
wo zindagi jo tere shahr mein guzar aae
ye bebasi bhi nahin lutf-e-iKHtiyar se kam
KHuda kare na kabhi dil pe iKHtiyar aae
qadam qadam pe gulistan khile the raste mein
ajib log hain hum bhi ki su-e-dar aae
na chahchahe na surud-e-shaguftagi na mahak
kise ab aisi bahaaron pe e'tibar aae
junun ko ab ke gareban se kya milega ki hum
ba-faiz-e-mausam-e-gul pairahan utar aae
teri lagan ne zamane ki KHak chhanwai
teri talab mein tamam aarzuen haar aae
ye faKHr kam to nahin ku-e-yar mein 'nikhat'
na sharmsar gae the na sharmsar aae
