yaad aao mujhe lillah na tum yaad karo

yaad aao mujhe lillāh na tum yaad karo

apnī aur merī javānī ko na barbād karo

sharm rone bhī na de bekalī sone bhī na de

is tarah to mirī rātoñ ko na barbād karo

had hai piine kī ki ḳhud pīr-e-muġhāñ kahtā hai

is burī tarah javānī ko na barbād karo

yaad aate ho bahut dil se bhulāne vaalo

tum hameñ yaad karo tum hameñ kyuuñ yaad karo

āsmāñ rutba mahal apne banāne vaalo

dil kā ujḌā huā ghar bhī koī ābād karo

ham kabhī aa.eñ tire ghar magar ā.eñge zarūr

tum ne ye va.ada kiyā thā ki nahīñ yaad karo

chāñdnī raat meñ gul-gasht ko jab jaate the

aah azrā kabhī us vaqt ko bhī yaad karo

maiñ bhī shā.ista-e-altāf-e-sitam huuñ shāyad

mere hote hue kyuuñ ġhair pe bedād karo

sadqe us shoḳh ke 'aḳhtar' ye likhā hai jis ne

ishq meñ apnī javānī ko na barbād karo

yaad aao mujhe lillah na tum yaad karo

apni aur meri jawani ko na barbaad karo

sharm rone bhi na de bekali sone bhi na de

is tarah to meri raaton ko na barbaad karo

had hai pine ki ki KHud pir-e-mughan kahta hai

is buri tarah jawani ko na barbaad karo

yaad aate ho bahut dil se bhulane walo

tum hamein yaad karo tum hamein kyun yaad karo

aasman rutba mahal apne banane walo

dil ka ujDa hua ghar bhi koi aabaad karo

hum kabhi aaen tere ghar magar aaenge zarur

tum ne ye wada kiya tha ki nahin yaad karo

chandni raat mein gul-gasht ko jab jate the

aah azra kabhi us waqt ko bhi yaad karo

main bhi shaista-e-altaf-e-sitam hun shayad

mere hote hue kyun ghair pe bedad karo

sadqe us shoKH ke 'aKHtar' ye likha hai jis ne

ishq mein apni jawani ko na barbaad karo
