Yahin ke thi mohabbat ke sabaq ke ibtada main ne

" Yahin ke thi mohabbat ke sabaq ke ibtada main ne
Yahin ke jurrat-e-izhar-e-harf-e-mudd’a main ne

Yahin dekhe the ishv-e-naz-o-andaz-e-haya main ne
Yahin pahale suni thi dil dhadakane ke sada main ne

Yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi
Dilon mein izdaham-e-arazu lab band rehte the

Nazar se guftagu hoti thi dam ulfat ka bharate the
Na mathe par shikan hoti, na jab tevar badalate the




Khuda bhi muskura deta tha jab hum pyar karte the
Yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi

Wo kya aata ke goya daur mein jam-e-sharab aata
Wo kya aata rangili ragani rangin rabab aata

Mujhe ranginiyon mein rangane wo rangin sahab aata
Labon ke mein pilane jhumata mast-e-shabab aata

Haya ke bojh se jab har qadam par lagazishen hotin
Fazan mein muntasar rangin badan ke larazishen hotin

Rabab-e-dil ke taron mein musalasil jumbishen hotin
Khifa-e-raz ke purlutf baham koshishen hotin

Yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi
Bala-e-fikr-e-farda hum se koson dur hoti thi

surur-e-sarmadi se zindagi mamur hoti thi
hamari khilwat-e-masum rashq-e-tur hoti thi

malak jhula jhulate the gazal-khwan hur hoti thi
yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi

na ab wo khet baqi hain na wo aab-e-rawan baqi
magar us aish-e-rafta ka hai ik dhundala nishan baqi "
