zaban izhaar lahja bhul jaun

mere mabud kya kya bhul jaun

bikhar jaun zamin se aasman tak

phir aisa ho simaTna bhul jaun

main tera nam itni bar likkhun

ki apna nam likhna bhul jaun

teri parchhain to le aaun ghar tak

kahin apna hi saya bhul jaun

teri aawaz to pahchan lunga

ye mumkin hai ki chehra bhul jaun

kabhi ye bhi to ho bhaTkun jahan mein

aur apne ghar ka rasta bhul jaun

junun-e-bandagi ki laj rakhna

agar aadab-e-sajda bhul jaun

main kab tak sochta rahta jahan ko

yahi behtar tha jina bhul jaun
