Safar E manzil E shab yaad nahiN
Log rukhsat hue kab yaad nahiN

Dil meN har waqt chubhan rahti thi
Thi mujhe kis ki talab yaad nahiN

Wo sitaara thi K shabnam thi K phul
Ek soorat thi ajab yaad nahiN

Aisa uljha huN gam E duniya meN
Ek bhi khaab E tarab yaad nahiN

Bhoolte jaate haiN maazi ke dayaar
Yaad aayeN bhi to sab yaad nahiN

Ye haqeeqat hai K ahbaab ko hum
Yaad hi kab thhay jo ab yaad nahiN

Yaad hai sair E charaaGhaaN ‘Nasir’
Dil ke bujhne ka sabab yaad nahiN
