tum ko nahīñ hai yaad abhī kal kī baat hai
bāham thā ittihād abhī kal kī baat hai
manzil thī ek jis pe baham gāmzan rahe
bilkul na thā tazād abhī kal kī baat hai
ik raushnī thī dil meñ bahut pāk-o-sāf the
aisā na thā inaad abhī kal kī baat hai
buniyād ḳhud hī aap ne rakkhī nifāq kī
shīr-o-shakar the shaad abhī kal kī baat hai
sehn-e-chaman meñ apne 'nazar' thī ajab bahār
thā daur-e-abr-o-bād abhī kal kī baat hai
