aaj ruThe hue sajan ko bahut yaad kiya

aaj rūThe hue sājan ko bahut yaad kiyā

apne ujḌe hue gulshan ko bahut yaad kiyā

jab kabhī gardish-e-taqdīr ne gherā hai hameñ

gesū-e-yār kī uljhan ko bahut yaad kiyā

sham.a kī jot pe jalte hue parvānoñ ne

ik tire sho'la-e-dāman ko bahut yaad kiyā

jis ke māthe pe na.ī sub.h kā jhūmar hogā

ham ne us vaqt kī dulhan ko bahut yaad kiyā

aaj TuuTe hue sapnoñ kī bahut yaad aa.ī hai

aaj biite hue sāvan ko bahut yaad kiyā

ham sar-e-tūr bhī māyūs-e-tajallī hī rahe

us dar-e-yār kī chilman ko bahut yaad kiyā

mutma.in ho hī ga.e dām-o-qafas meñ 'sāġhar'

ham asīroñ ne nasheman ko bahut yaad kiyā

aaj ruThe hue sajan ko bahut yaad kiya

apne ujDe hue gulshan ko bahut yaad kiya

jab kabhi gardish-e-taqdir ne ghera hai hamein

gesu-e-yar ki uljhan ko bahut yaad kiya

shama ki jot pe jalte hue parwanon ne

ek tere sho'la-e-daman ko bahut yaad kiya

jis ke mathe pe nai subh ka jhumar hoga

hum ne us waqt ki dulhan ko bahut yaad kiya

aaj TuTe hue sapnon ki bahut yaad aai hai

aaj bite hue sawan ko bahut yaad kiya

hum sar-e-tur bhi mayus-e-tajalli hi rahe

us dar-e-yar ki chilman ko bahut yaad kiya

mutmain ho hi gae dam-o-qafas mein 'saghar'

hum asiron ne nasheman ko bahut yaad kiya
