phir wahi rang-e-takallum nigah-e-naaz mein hai

wahi andaaz wahi husn-e-bayan hai ki jo tha

kab hai inkaar tire lutf-o-karam se lekin

tu wahi dushman-e-dil dushman-e-jan hai ki jo tha

ishq afsurda nahi aaj bhi afsurda bahut

wahi kam kam asar-e-soz-e-nihan hai ki jo tha

qurb hi kam hai na doori hi ziyaada lekin

aaj wo rabt ka ehsaas kahan hai ki jo tha

nazar aa jaate hain tum ko toh bahut naazuk baal

dil mira kya wahi ai sheesha-giran hai ki jo tha

jaan de baithe the ik baar hawas waale bhi

phir wahi marahla-e-sood-o-ziyan hai ki jo tha

husn ko kheench toh leta hai abhi tak lekin

wo asar jazb-e-mohabbat mein kahan hai ki jo tha

aaj bhi said-gah-e-ishq mein husan-e-saffaak

liye abroo ki lachakti si kaman hai ki jo tha

phir tiri chashm-e-sukhan-sanj ne chhedi koi baat

wahi jaadoo hai wahi husn-e-bayan hai ki jo tha

phir sar-e-mai-kad-e-ishq hai ik baarish-e-noor

chhalke jaamon se charaaghan ka saman hai ki jo tha

phir wahi khair-nigaahi hai tire jalwon se

wahi aalam tira ai barque-e-daman hai ki jo tha

aaj bhi aag dabi hai dil-e-insan mein firaaque

aaj bhi seenon se uthta wo dhuan hai ki jo tha
