Kabhi yaad aye to puchana zara apni khalwat-e-sham se

 Kabhi yaad aye to puchana zara apni khalwat-e-sham se,

Kise ishaq tha teri zaat se kise pyar tha tere naam se,

Zara yaad kr ke wo kon tha jo kabi tujhy b aziz tha,

Wo jo jee utha tere naam sy wo jo mr mita tere naam pe,

Humain be’rukhi ka nahi gila ke yehi wafaon ka hai sila,

Magar aisa jurm tha konsa gaye hum Dua-o-Salam se,

Na kabi Visaal ki chaah ki, Na kabi Firaaq mein aah ki,

Ke mera treeqa-e-Bandgi hai, tha juda tareeqa-e-aam se..
