yahīñ kī thī mohabbat ke sabaq kī ibtidā maiñ ne

yahīñ kī jur.at-e-iz.hār-e-harf-e-mudda.ā maiñ ne

yahīñ dekhe the ishva-e-nāz o andāz-e-hayā maiñ ne

yahīñ pahle sunī thī dil dhaḌakne kī sadā maiñ ne

yahīñ khetoñ meñ paanī ke kināre yaad hai ab bhī

diloñ meñ azhdahām-e-ārzū lab band rahte the

nazar se guftugū hotī thī dam ulfat kā bharte the

na māthe par shikan hotī na jab tevar badalte the

ḳhudā bhī muskurā detā thā jab ham pyaar karte the

yahīñ khetoñ meñ paanī ke kināre yaad hai ab bhī

vo kyā aatā ki goyā daur meñ jām-e-sharāb aatā

vo kyā aatā rañgīlī rāgnī rañgīñ raubāb aatā

mujhe rañgīniyoñ meñ rañgne vo rañgīñ sahāb aatā

laboñ kī mai pilāne jhūmtā mast shabāb aatā

yahīñ khetoñ meñ paanī ke kināre yaad hai ab bhī

hayā ke bojh se jab har qadam par laġhzisheñ hotīñ

fazā meñ muntashir rañgīñ badan kī larzisheñ hotīñ

raubāb-e-dil ke tāroñ meñ musalsal juñbisheñ hotīñ

ḳhifā-e-rāz kī pur-lutf bāham koshisheñ hotīñ

yahīñ khetoñ meñ paanī ke kināre yaad hai ab bhī

bahe jaate the baiThe ishq ke zarrīñ safīne meñ

tamannāoñ kā tūfāñ karvaTeñ letā thā siine meñ

jo chhū letā maiñ us ko vo nahā jaatā pasīne meñ

mai-e-do-ātisha ke se maze aate the jiine meñ

yahīñ khetoñ meñ paanī ke kināre yaad hai ab bhī

balā-e-fikr-e-fardā ham se kosoñ duur hotī thī

surūr-e-sarmadī se zindagī ma.amūr hotī thī

hamārī ḳhalvat-e-ma.asūm rashk-e-tūr hotī thī

malak jhūlā jhulāte the ġhazal-ḳhvāñ huur hotī thī

yahīñ khetoñ meñ paanī ke kināre yaad hai ab bhī

na ab vo khet baaqī haiñ na vo āb-e-ravāñ baaqī

magar is aish-e-rafta kā hai ik dhundlā nishāñ baaqī

yahin ki thi mohabbat ke sabaq ki ibtida main ne

yahin ki jurat-e-izhaar-e-harf-e-muddaa main ne

yahin dekhe the ishwa-e-naz o andaz-e-haya main ne

yahin pahle suni thi dil dhaDakne ki sada main ne

yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi

dilon mein azhdaham-e-arzu lab band rahte the

nazar se guftugu hoti thi dam ulfat ka bharte the

na mathe par shikan hoti na jab tewar badalte the

KHuda bhi muskura deta tha jab hum pyar karte the

yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi

wo kya aata ki goya daur mein jam-e-sharab aata

wo kya aata rangili ragni rangin raubab aata

mujhe ranginiyon mein rangne wo rangin sahab aata

labon ki mai pilane jhumta mast shabab aata

yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi

haya ke bojh se jab har qadam par laghzishen hotin

faza mein muntashir rangin badan ki larzishen hotin

raubab-e-dil ke taron mein musalsal junbishen hotin

KHifa-e-raaz ki pur-lutf baham koshishen hotin

yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi

bahe jate the baiThe ishq ke zarrin safine mein

tamannaon ka tufan karwaTen leta tha sine mein

jo chhu leta main us ko wo naha jata pasine mein

mai-e-do-atisha ke se maze aate the jine mein

yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi

bala-e-fikr-e-farda hum se koson dur hoti thi

surur-e-sarmadi se zindagi mamur hoti thi

hamari KHalwat-e-masum rashk-e-tur hoti thi

malak jhula jhulate the ghazal-KHwan hur hoti thi

yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi

na ab wo khet baqi hain na wo aab-e-rawan baqi

magar is aish-e-rafta ka hai ek dhundla nishan baqi
