Dil ke bhule hue afsane bahut yaad aae

dil ke bhule hue afsane bahut yaad aae
zindagi tere sanam-KHane bahut yaad aae

kuza-e-dil ki tarah pahle unhen toD diya
ab wo TuTe hue paimane bahut yaad aae

wo jo ghairon ki salibon ko uTha lae the
KHud masiha ko wo diwane bahut yaad aae

jism-o-jaan ke ye sanam-zad ilahi tauba
dil ke ujDe hue but-KHane bahut yaad aae

maut ka raqs hai afsurdagi-e-jaan ka ilaj
jal bujhi shama to parwane bahut yaad aae

dil ke zaKHmon ke bhala kis ko mayassar hain charagh
ashk-dar-ashk wo nazrane bahut yaad aae

dekh kar shahr-e-KHirad ki ye kashakash 'tanwir'
dasht-e-ehsas ke virane bahut yaad aae
