Kabhi yaad aaye to puchna

Kabhi yaad aaye to puchna,
zara apni khalwat-e- shaam se,

Kisay ishq tha teri zaat se,
kisay pyar tha teray naam se,

Zara yaad karo k wo kon tha,
jo kabhi tujhay bhi aziz tha,

Wo jo jee utha teray naam se,
Wo jo mar mita teray naam se,

Humain berukhi ka nahi gila,
k yehi wafaon ka ha sila,

Magr aisa jurm tha konsa,
gaiay hum dua-o-salam se,

Na kabhi visaal ki chaah ki na kabhi firaaq mein aah ki,

K mera treeqa-e-bndagi,
hy juda treeqa-e-aam se.
