log gītoñ kā nagar yaad aayā
aaj pardes meñ ghar yaad aayā
jab chale aa.e chaman-zār se ham
iltifāt-e-gul-e-tar yaad aayā
terī begāna-nigāhī sar-e-shām
ye sitam tā-ba-sahar yaad aayā
ham zamāne kā sitam bhuul ga.e
jab tirā lutf-e-nazar yaad aayā
to bhī masrūr thā is shab sar-e-bazm
apne sheroñ kā asar yaad aayā
phir huā dard-e-tamannā bedār
phir dil-e-ḳhāk-basar yaad aayā
ham jise bhuul chuke the 'jālib'
phir vahī rāhguzar yaad aayā
