"Aaj roothey huwey sajan ko bohut yaad kia
 Apne ujrey huwey gulshan ko bohut yadd kia
Jab kabhi gardish-e-taqdeer ne ghaira hai hamein
 Gesuye yaar ki uljhan ko bohut yaad kia
Shamma ki joot pe jalte huwe parwanon ne!
 Ik tere shula-e-daman ko bohut yaad ki
Jis ke mathy pe nayi subu ki jhoomar ho gaya
 Ham ne us waqt ki dulhan ko bohut yaad kia
Aaj totey huwey sapnon ki bohut yad aayi
 Aaj beety huwey saawan ko bohut yaad kia
Ham sir-e-toor bhi mayoos-e-tajalli rahey 
 Us dariya ki chilman ko bohut yaad kia
Mutma in  ho gay dam-o-qafs mein jana
 Ham aseeron ne nashmeen ko bohut yaad kia"
