hamārī yaad unheñ aa ga.ī to kyā hogā

ghaTā idhar kī udhar chhā ga.ī to kyā hogā

abhī to bazm meñ qaa.em hai do diloñ kā bharam

nazar nazar se jo Takrā ga.ī to kyā hogā

dhaḌak rahā hai sar-e-shām hī se dil kam-baḳht

visāl-e-yār kī sub.h aa ga.ī to kyā hogā

ye sochtā huuñ ki dil kī udaas galiyoñ se

tumhārī yaad bhī katrā ga.ī to kyā hogā

surūr aa gayā rindoñ ko dekhte hī subū

jo mai-kade pe ghaTā chhā ga.ī to kyā hogā

vo baat jis se dhuāñ uTh rahā hai siine se

vo baat lab pe agar aa ga.ī to kyā hogā

vafā kā dam na bharo dosto tum 'aslam' se

tumheñ jo vaqt pe jhuTlā ga.ī to kyā hogā
