ba.ad muddat jo maiñ ai charḳh-e-kuhan yaad aayā
kyā sitam koī nayā mushfiq-e-man yaad aayā
sher kahtā thā ki mazmūn-e-dahan yaad aayā
ik muamma ye dam-e-fikr-e-suḳhan yaad aayā
ahl-e-duniyā ko kisī din na huī fikr-e-adam
kyā musāfir haiñ ki jin ko na vatan yaad aayā
dekh kar abr-e-bahārī mirī nisbat badlī
sehn-e-gulshan meñ dil-e-tauba-shikan yaad aayā
rishta-e-jāñ meñ girah paḌ ga.ī uljhan ke sabab
dil ko jab gesū-e-pur-pech-o-shikan yaad aayā
pā ke sar-chashma-e-haivāñ jo phir aayā ulTā
kyā 'sikandar' ko tirā chāh-e-zaqan yaad aayā
miT ga.ī dil ke na hone se vo dāġhoñ kī bahār
ai 'nazar' vaqt-e-ḳhizāñ ham ko chaman yaad aayā
baad muddat jo main ai charKH-e-kuhan yaad aaya
kya sitam koi naya mushfiq-e-man yaad aaya
sher kahta tha ki mazmun-e-dahan yaad aaya
ek muamma ye dam-e-fikr-e-suKHan yaad aaya
ahl-e-duniya ko kisi din na hui fikr-e-adam
kya musafir hain ki jin ko na watan yaad aaya
dekh kar abr-e-bahaari meri nisbat badli
sehn-e-gulshan mein dil-e-tauba-shikan yaad aaya
rishta-e-jaan mein girah paD gai uljhan ke sabab
dil ko jab gesu-e-pur-pech-o-shikan yaad aaya
pa ke sar-chashma-e-haiwan jo phir aaya ulTa
kya 'sikandar' ko tera chah-e-zaqan yaad aaya
miT gai dil ke na hone se wo daghon ki bahaar
ai 'nazar' waqt-e-KHizan hum ko chaman yaad aaya
