yaheen kee thee muhabbat ke sabaq ki ibteda meine 
yaheen kee jurrat-e-izhar-e-harfe-mudduaa meine 
yaheen dekhe they ishw-e-nazon andaaz-e-haya meine 
yaheen pahle sunee thee dil dharkane ki sadaa meine
 
yaheen kheton mein paanee ke kinaare yaad hain ab bhee 

dilon mein izdaham-e-aarzoo lab band rahate they 
nazar se guftugoo hotee thee dum ulfat ka bharate they 
na mathey par shikan hotee, na jab tevar badalate they 
khudaa bhee muskuraa detaa thaa jab hum pyar karate they 

yahin kheton mein paanee ke kinaare yaad hain ab bhee 

voh kyaa aataa ke goya daur mein jaam-e-sharaab aataa 
voh kyaa aataa rangeelee raagani rangeen rabaab aataa 
mujhe rangeeniyon mein rangane voh rangeen sahaab aataa 
labon kee maiy pilaane jhoomataa mast-e-shabaab aataa 

yahin kheton mein paanee ke kinaare yaad hain ab bhee 

hayaa ke bojh se jab har qadam par laghzishein hoteen 
fazaan mein muntasar rangeen badan kee larzishein hoteen 
Rabaab-e-dil ke taron mein musalsil jumbishein hoteen 
khifa-e-raaz kee pur-lutf baham koshishein hoteen 

yahin kheton mein paanee ke kinare yaad hain ab bhee 

bah jate they baithe ishq ke zarree safiney mein 
tamannaon ka tufaan karawatein letaa thaa seene mein 
jo chhoo letaa thaa main usko voh nahaa jaataa paseene mein 
maiy-e-do-aatisha ke se mazey aate they jeene mein 

yahin kheton mein paanee ke kinare yaad hain ab bhee 

balaa-e-fikr-e- farda ham se koson door hotee thee 
suroor-e-sarmdee se zindagee maamoor hotee thee 
hamaaree khilvat-e-masoom rashk-e-toor hotee thee 
malik jhoolaa jhoolate they ghazal-khwaan hoor hotee thee 

yahin kheton mein paanee ke kinare yaad hain ab bhee 

na ab voh khet baaqee hain na voh aab-e-rawaan baaqee 
magar us aish-e-raftaa ka hai ik dhundhlaa nishaan baaqee
