hum apne raftagan ko yaad rakhna chahte hain
ham apne raftagāñ ko yaad rakhnā chāhte haiñ
diloñ ko dard se ābād rakhnā chāhte haiñ
mubādā mundamil zaḳhmoñ kī sūrat bhuul hī jaa.eñ
abhī kuchh din ye ghar barbād rakhnā chāhte haiñ
bahut raunaq thī un ke dam qadam se shahr-e-jāñ meñ
vahī raunaq ham un ke baa'd rakhnā chāhte haiñ
bahut mushkil zamānoñ meñ bhī ham ahl-e-mohabbat
vafā par ishq kī buniyād rakhnā chāhte haiñ
saroñ meñ ek hī saudā ki lau dene lage ḳhaak
umīdeñ hasb-e-istedād rakhnā chāhte haiñ
kahīñ aisā na ho harf-e-duā mafhūm kho de
duā ko sūrat-e-fariyād rakhnā chāhte haiñ
qalam ālūda-e-nān-o-namak rahtā hai phir bhī
jahāñ tak ho sake āzād rakhnā chāhte haiñ
hum apne raftagan ko yaad rakhna chahte hain
dilon ko dard se aabaad rakhna chahte hain
mubaada mundamil zaKHmon ki surat bhul hi jaen
abhi kuchh din ye ghar barbaad rakhna chahte hain
bahut raunaq thi un ke dam qadam se shahr-e-jaan mein
wahi raunaq hum un ke ba'd rakhna chahte hain
bahut mushkil zamanon mein bhi hum ahl-e-mohabbat
wafa par ishq ki buniyaad rakhna chahte hain
saron mein ek hi sauda ki lau dene lage KHak
umiden hasb-e-istedad rakhna chahte hain
kahin aisa na ho harf-e-dua mafhum kho de
dua ko surat-e-fariyaad rakhna chahte hain
qalam aaluda-e-nan-o-namak rahta hai phir bhi
jahan tak ho sake aazad rakhna chahte hain
