khuli aaNkhoN say jo daikhay thay khuwab yaad nahiN
tayri furqat meN jo jheelay azab yaad nahiN
khushi say apni tujhay choRtay samay maiN nay
kyoN baha’ay thay ashk bay hisab yaad nahiN
zamaanay bhar say to miltay na mujhay aar aati
ek faqat tujh say tha kiyooN kar hijab yaad nahiN
tayray chehray pay to pehlay he ka’ee chehray thay
phir bhi rehta tha kyoN pas-e-naqab yaad nahiN
wo umar bhar ko wafa kis tarha nibha paata
jisay pal bhar ko bhi apna khitab yaad nahiN
bhulana chahtay huway bhi muddatoN maiN nay
kiyooN uthaaya tayri yaadoN ka daab yaad nahiN
Sadaf jalti thi tu maanind shama jis kay li’yay
woh haqeeqat tha ya koi sarab yaad nahiN
