dil ke bhule hue afsane bahut yaad aae

dil ke bhūle hue afsāne bahut yaad aa.e

zindagī tere sanam-ḳhāne bahut yaad aa.e

kūza-e-dil kī tarah pahle unheñ toḌ diyā

ab vo TuuTe hue paimāne bahut yaad aa.e

vo jo ġhairoñ kī salīboñ ko uThā laa.e the

ḳhud masīhā ko vo dīvāne bahut yaad aa.e

jism-o-jāñ ke ye sanam-zād ilāhī tauba

dil ke ujḌe hue but-ḳhāne bahut yaad aa.e

maut kā raqs hai afsurdagī-e-jāñ kā ilaaj

jal bujhī sham.a to parvāne bahut yaad aa.e

dil ke zaḳhmoñ ke bhalā kis ko mayassar haiñ charāġh

ashk-dar-ashk vo nazrāne bahut yaad aa.e

dekh kar shahr-e-ḳhirad kī ye kashākash 'tanvīr'

dasht-e-ehsās ke vīrāne bahut yaad aa.e

dil ke bhule hue afsane bahut yaad aae

zindagi tere sanam-KHane bahut yaad aae

kuza-e-dil ki tarah pahle unhen toD diya

ab wo TuTe hue paimane bahut yaad aae

wo jo ghairon ki salibon ko uTha lae the

KHud masiha ko wo diwane bahut yaad aae

jism-o-jaan ke ye sanam-zad ilahi tauba

dil ke ujDe hue but-KHane bahut yaad aae

maut ka raqs hai afsurdagi-e-jaan ka ilaj

jal bujhi shama to parwane bahut yaad aae

dil ke zaKHmon ke bhala kis ko mayassar hain charagh

ashk-dar-ashk wo nazrane bahut yaad aae

dekh kar shahr-e-KHirad ki ye kashakash 'tanwir'

dasht-e-ehsas ke virane bahut yaad aae
