raah meñ shahr-e-tarab yaad aayā
jo bhulāyā thā vo sab yaad aayā
jaane ab sub.h kā aalam kyā ho
aaj vo āḳhir-e-shab yaad aayā
ham pe guzrā hai vo lamha ik din
kuchh nahīñ yaad thā rab yaad aayā
jab nahīñ umr to vo phuul khilā
kab kā bachhḌā huā kab yaad aayā
raqs karne lagī tāroñ bharī shab
tū bhī is raat ajab yaad aayā
kitnā iqrār chhupā thā is meñ
tere inkār kā Dhab yaad aayā
hosh uḌne lage 'nāsir' kī tarah
aaj vo yaar ġhazab yaad aayā
