hai dua yaad magar harf-e-dua yaad nahin
hai duā yaad magar harf-e-duā yaad nahīñ
mere naġhmāt ko andāz-e-navā yaad nahīñ
maiñ ne palkoñ se dar-e-yār pe dastak dī hai
maiñ vo saa.il huuñ jise koī sadā yaad nahīñ
maiñ ne jin ke liye rāhoñ meñ bichhāyā thā lahū
ham se kahte haiñ vahī ahd-e-vafā yaad nahīñ
kaise bhar aa.iiñ sar-e-shām kisī kī āñkheñ
kaise tharrā.ī charāġhoñ kī ziyā yaad nahīñ
sirf dhuñdlā.e sitāroñ kī chamak dekhī hai
kab huā kaun huā kis se ḳhafā yaad nahīñ
zindagī jabr-e-musalsal kī tarah kaaTī hai
jaane kis jurm kī paa.ī hai sazā yaad nahīñ
aao ik sajda kareñ ālam-e-mad.hoshī meñ
log kahte haiñ ki 'sāġhar' ko ḳhudā yaad nahīñ
hai dua yaad magar harf-e-dua yaad nahin
mere naghmat ko andaz-e-nawa yaad nahin
main ne palkon se dar-e-yar pe dastak di hai
main wo sail hun jise koi sada yaad nahin
main ne jin ke liye rahon mein bichhaya tha lahu
hum se kahte hain wahi ahd-e-wafa yaad nahin
kaise bhar aain sar-e-sham kisi ki aankhen
kaise tharrai charaghon ki ziya yaad nahin
sirf dhundlae sitaron ki chamak dekhi hai
kab hua kaun hua kis se KHafa yaad nahin
zindagi jabr-e-musalsal ki tarah kaTi hai
jaane kis jurm ki pai hai saza yaad nahin
aao ek sajda karen aalam-e-madhoshi mein
log kahte hain ki 'saghar' ko KHuda yaad nahin
