tum se kuchh kahne ko thā bhuul gayā

haa.e kyā baat thī kyā bhuul gayā

bholī bholī jo vo sūrat dekhī

shikva-e-jaur-o-jafā bhuul gayā

dil meñ baiThā hai ye ḳhauf us but kā

haath uTThe ki duā bhuul gayā

ḳhush huuñ is vāda-farāmoshī se

us ne hañs kar to kahā bhuul gayā

hāl-e-dil sunte hī kis lutf se haa.e

kuchh kahā kuchh jo rahā bhuul gayā

vaañ kis ummīd pe phir jaa.e koī

ai dil us baat ko kyā bhuul gayā

hosh meñ aa ke sunā kuchh qāsid

yaad kyā hai tujhe kyā bhuul gayā

ahd kyā thā mujhe kuchh yaad nahīñ

yahī gar bhuul gayā bhuul gayā

maiñ idhar bhuul gayā ranj-e-firāq

vo udhar uzr-e-jafā bhuul gayā

yaad meñ ek sanam kī nāseh

maiñ to sab kuchh ba-ḳhudā bhuul gayā

ḳhair mujh par to jo guzrī guzrī

shukr vo tarz-e-vafā bhuul gayā

yaad us kī hai mirī ziist 'nizām'

maut aa.ī jo zarā bhuul gayā
