Yaad aa ke reh gaye hain zamane wafaon ke

Yaad aa ke reh gaye hain zamane wafaon ke,

Sholay jala ke chal diye jhonkay wafaon ke,

Har ik qadam par talkhii doraa’n ki dhoop thi,

They hum bhi us gali mein talabgar chaaon ke,

Karte rahe jo chand sitaaron ki rehbri,

Kuch log muntazir hain unhi rehnumaaon ke,

Har zehen mein parre hain teri zulf ke bhanwar,

Har dil ki sarzamee’n mein nishaan tere paaon ke,

Be’chaargi zeest ka daaman na bhar saka,

Hum ne lutaa diye hain khazaney dua’on ke,

Tajdeed-e-zoq Saghir-o-meena ki baat kar,

Badle huye rang-e-chaman ki fizaaon ke..
