Taaza hain abhi yaad mein

Taaza hain abhi yaad mein, 

ai saaqi-E-gulfaam

wo aks-e-rukh-e-yaar se lahke 

hue aiyaam

wo phuul si khilti huii deedaar 

ki saa'at vo dil sa dhadak'ta hua 

ummid ka hangaam

ummid ki lo jaaga gham-E-dil 

ka nasibaa lo shauq ki tarsi hui 

shab ho gayi aakhir

lo duub gaye dard ke be-khwaab 

sitaare ab chamkega be-sabr 

nigaahon ka muqaddar

is baam se niklega tere husn ka khursheed

us kunj se phutegi kiran 

rang-E-hina ki is dar se bahega 

teri raftaar ka simaab

us raah pe phuulegi shafaq teri 

qaba ki Phir dekhein hain wo hijr 

ke tapte  hue din bhi

jab fikr-E-dil-O-jaan mein 

fughaan bhuul gayi hai

har shab vo siyaa bojh ki dil 

baith gaya hai

har subh ki lau teer si seene mein 

lagi hai tanhaai mein kya kya na 

tujhe yaad kiya hai

kya kya na dil-E-zaar ne dhundi 

hain panaahein aankhon se lagaya 

hai kabhi dast-E-saba ko

Daali hain kabhi gardan-E-mehtaab mein baahein

----

Chaha hai isi rang mein laila-E-

watan ko tadpa hai isi taur se dil 

uski lagan mein

dhundi hai yuun hi shauq ne 

aasaa'ish-E-manzil rukhsaar ke 

kham mein, kabhi kaakul ki 

shikan mein

us jaan-E-jahan ko bhi yun hi 

qalb-O-nazar ne hans-hans ke 

sada di, kabhi ro ro ke pukara

poore kiye sab harf-E-tamanna 

ke taqaaze har dard ko ujyaala, 

har ek gham ko sanwara

wapas nahin phera koi farmaan 

junuun ka tanha nahin lauti kabhi 

aawaz jaras ki

khairiyat-E-jaan, raahat-E-tan, 

sehhat-E-daaman

sab bhuul gayin maslahatein 

ahl-E-hawas ki

is raah mein jo sab pe guzarti hai 

wo guzri tanha pas-E-zindaan, 

kabhi ruswa sar-E-baazaar

garze hain bahut sheikh sar-E-

goshaa-E-minbar karke hain 

bahut ahl-E-hukm bar sar-E-

darbaar

chhoda nahin ghairon ne koi 

naavak-E-dushnaam

chhuti nahin apnon se koi 

tarz-E-malaamat

is ishq na us ishq se naadim hai 

magar dil

har daagh hai is dil mein ba-juz 

daagh-e-nadaamat...
