Dil dhadakne ka sabab yaad aaya, woh teri yaad thi ab yaad aaya.

Dil dharakne ka sabab yaad aaya,

woh teri yaad thi ab yaad aaya.

Aaj mushkil tha sambhalna aey dost,

tu museebat mein ajab yaad aaya.

Din guzaara tha bari mushkil se,

phir tera waada-e-shab yaad aaya.

Tera bhoola hua paimaan-e-wafa,

mar rahenge agar ab yaad aaya.

Phir kayi log nazar se guzre,

phir koi shehar-e-tarab yaad aaya.

Haal-e dil hum bhi sunaate lekin,

jab woh rukhsat hua tab yaad aaya.

Baith kar saaya-e-gul mein ‘nasir

hum bahut roye woh jab yaad aaya. !!
