Bazaar kay manzar ko, aur apney khuley sar ko bhuli nahi mai
Apney bandhey haathon ko, bimaar kay zeiwar ko
bhuli nahi mai
Utt thi huvi aandhi ko, wehshat ko biyaabaan ko
Chuptey huvey suraj ko, taareeki ko maidaan ko
Chaltey huvey khanjar ko, Naizey pey terey sar ko,
bhuli nahi mai
Ek chaand tha badhli mai, chuptha tha nikal ta tha
Pardah darey khaima ka, utt tha kabhi girta tha
Woh khaimaa e laila sey, Haaye rukhsatey Akbar ko,
bhuli nahi mai
Yaad aata hai dulhan ko, gatt kis tarha aaye thay
Ek gattri shahey waala, jab kaandhon pey laaye thay
Is laash ki gattri ko, Us khoon bhari chaadar ko,
bhuli nahi mai
Fizza ko mera bhaayi, maa kehkay bulaata tha,
Dum uska meray bhaayi, yeh naam pey jaata tha
Ruthbey mai jo maa bankar, aayi thi maadar ko,
bhuli nahi mai
Lehraatey huvey naiza, aur shimr ka woh barddna,
Aa aa kay meray peechey, har bibi ka woh chuppna
Sholoun mai girey gharko, Chinnti huvi chaader ko,
bhuli nahi mai
Yaad aata hai ek maa ka, woh khaak mei dhas jaana
Aur aag ke sholoun mei, woh maa ka julas jaana
Jalte huvey jhooley sey, Lipti huvi maadar ko,
bhuli nahi mai
Masoom Sakina ko, bardtey huvey naizoun ko
Sistey huvey gaalon ko, bey rahem tamaachon ko
Sistey huvey kaanon ko, Khichtey huvey gauhar ko,
bhuli nahi mai
Jis raat mae tanhaa thi, us raat kay dhalney ko
Tootey huvey naizey ko, us raat kay pehrey ko
Bachchon kay sisakney ko, Aur raaq kay bistar ko,
bhuli nahi mai
Un shaam ki galiyon ko, jinsey khuley sar guzrey
Kis dar sey guzar ney mai, yeh tolaa pahen guzrey
Darbar kay us dar ko, Aur shaamiyon kay shar ko,
bhuli nahi mai
Hai aaj bhi woh giryaa, Hai aaj bhi wo zaari
Hai aaj bhi patthar kay, Seenay sey lahu jaari
Rothay huvey patthar ko, Patthar pey rakhey sarko,
bhuli nahi mai
Aati hai Navaid ab bhi, aawaaz yeh Zainab ki
Hai mujhko qasam saddiyon, sey sukhey huvey labb ki
Pyaasey ali asghar ko, Sukhey huvey saagher ko,
bhuli nahi mai
