Kabhi yaad aye tu poochna,
Zara apni khalwat-e-sham se
Kise ishq tha teri zaat se
Kise pyar tha tere naam se
Zara yaad kar k wo kon tha
Jo kabhi tujhe b aziz tha
Wo jo mar mitta tere naam se
Wo jo jee utha tere naam se
Humain berukhi ka nahi gila
Kay yehi wafaoon ka he sila
Magar aisa jurm tha konsa
Gaye hum dua-o-shaam se
Na kabhi wisal ki chah ki
Na kabhi firaq mai aah ki
Kay mera tareeka-e-bundagi
Hay juda tareeka-e-aam se
