rañg-e-dil rañg-e-nazar yaad aayā

tere jalvoñ kā asar yaad aayā

vo nazar ban ga.ī paiġhām-e-hayāt

rishta-e-sañg-o-guhar yaad aayā

ye nayā shahr ye raushan rāheñ

apnā andāz-e-safar yaad aayā

raah kā ruup banī dhuup apnī

koī saaya na shajar yaad aayā

kab na us shahr meñ patthar barse

kab na us shahr meñ sar yaad aayā

ghar meñ thā dasht-navardī kā ḳhayāl

dasht meñ aa.e to ghar yaad aayā

gard uḌtī hai sar-e-rāh-e-ḳhayāl

dil-e-nādāñ kā safar yaad aayā

ek hañstī huī badlī dekhī

ek jaltā huā ghar yaad aayā

is tarah shaam ke saa.e phaile

raat kā pichhlā pahar yaad aayā

phir chale ghar se tamāshā ban kar

phir tirā rauzan-e-dar yaad aayā

kisī patthar kī haqīqat hī kyā

dil kā ā.īna magar yaad aayā

aañch dāmān-e-sabā se aa.ī

e.atibār-e-gul-e-tar yaad aayā

dil jalā dhuup meñ aisā ab ke

paañv yaad aa.e na sar yaad aayā

apnī mehnat kā samar yaad aayā

rang-e-dil rang-e-nazar yaad aaya

tere jalwon ka asar yaad aaya

wo nazar ban gai paigham-e-hayat

halqa-e-sham-o-sahar yaad aaya

ye zamana ye dil-e-diwana

rishta-e-sang-o-guhar yaad aaya

ye naya shahr ye raushan rahen

apna andaz-e-safar yaad aaya

rah ka rup bani dhup apni

koi saya na shajar yaad aaya

kab na us shahr mein patthar barse

kab na us shahr mein sar yaad aaya

ghar mein tha dasht-nawardi ka KHayal

dasht mein aae to ghar yaad aaya

gard uDti hai sar-e-rah-e-KHayal

dil-e-nadan ka safar yaad aaya

ek hansti hui badli dekhi

ek jalta hua ghar yaad aaya

is tarah sham ke sae phaile

raat ka pichhla pahar yaad aaya

phir chale ghar se tamasha ban kar

phir tera rauzan-e-dar yaad aaya

kisi patthar ki haqiqat hi kya

dil ka aaina magar yaad aaya

aanch daman-e-saba se aai

eatibar-e-gul-e-tar yaad aaya

dil jala dhup mein aisa ab ke

panw yaad aae na sar yaad aaya

gar paDe hath se kaghaz 'baqi'

apni mehnat ka samar yaad aaya
