Hai dua yaad

Hai dua yaad magar harf-e-duaa yaad nahin,
Mere naghmaat ko andaz-e-nava yaad nahin,

Main ne palkon se dar-e-yar pe dastak di hai,
Main woh sayel hoon jise koi sadaa yaad nahin,

Main ne jin ke liye rahon main bichaya tha lahuu,
Hum se kehte hain wohi, ehd-e-wafa yaad nahin,

Kaise bhar aayin sar-e-sham kisi ki ankhen,
Kaise thehrayi charaghon ki ziya yaad nahin,

Sirf dhundhlaye sitaron ki chamak dekhi hai,
Kab hua kaun hua kis se khafa yaad nahin,

Zindagi jabr-e-musalsal ki tarah kaaTi hai,
Jaane kis jurm ki payi hai saza yaad nahin,

Aao ik sajda karen alam-e-madhoshi main,
Log kehte hain ke saaghar ko khuda yaad nahin..
