zabt kar ke hansi ko bhul gaya

zabt kar ke hañsī ko bhuul gayā

maiñ to us zaḳhm hī ko bhuul gayā

zāt-dar-zāt ham-safar rah kar

ajnabī ajnabī ko bhuul gayā

sub.h tak vaj.h-e-jāñ-kanī thī jo baat

maiñ use shaam hī ko bhuul gayā

ahd-e-vābastagī guzār ke maiñ

vaj.h-e-vābastagī ko bhuul gayā

sab dalīleñ to mujh ko yaad rahīñ

bahs kyā thī usī ko bhuul gayā

kyuuñ na ho naaz is zehānat par

ek maiñ har kisī ko bhuul gayā

sab se pur-amn vāqi.a ye hai

aadmī aadmī ko bhuul gayā

qahqaha mārte hī dīvāna

har ġham-e-zindagī ko bhuul gayā

ḳhvāb-hā-ḳhvāb jis ko chāhā thā

rañg-hā-rañg usī ko bhuul gayā

kyā qayāmat huī agar ik shaḳhs

apnī ḳhush-qismatī ko bhuul gayā

zabt kar ke hansi ko bhul gaya

main to us zaKHm hi ko bhul gaya

zat-dar-zat ham-safar rah kar

ajnabi ajnabi ko bhul gaya

subh tak wajh-e-jaan-kani thi jo baat

main use sham hi ko bhul gaya

ahd-e-wabastagi guzar ke main

wajh-e-wabastagi ko bhul gaya

sab dalilen to mujh ko yaad rahin

bahs kya thi usi ko bhul gaya

kyun na ho naz is zehanat par

ek main har kisi ko bhul gaya

sab se pur-amn waqia ye hai

aadmi aadmi ko bhul gaya

qahqaha marte hi diwana

har gham-e-zindagi ko bhul gaya

KHwab-ha-KHwab jis ko chaha tha

rang-ha-rang usi ko bhul gaya

kya qayamat hui agar ek shaKHs

apni KHush-qismati ko bhul gaya
