Kitab-e-dil pe likhay thay kitnay he afsanay
kuch qisse naye thay aur kuch berson puranay

Kuch un ka zikr jo kabhi rug-e-jaan se they qareeb
kuch wo jo aaj bhi lagtay hain begaanay

Kaash aisi koi rut koi moosam aaye
khushiyon bhare geet hum lagein gungunanay

Aaj bhi dil mera is aas pe zinda hia
aik roz to aayein ** wo hum ko mananay

Safha-e-dil ko koi humare perh ker dekhay
khoon-e-jiger se likhay hain sab afsaanay

Guzra howa zamana bhula do zehen se apnay
aatay nahi loat k beetay howe zamanay
