bhulaataa laakh huu.N lekin baraabar yaad aate hai.n

ilaahii tark-e-ulfat par wo kyo.nkar yaad aate hai.n

na chhe.D ae ham-nashii.n kaifiat-e-sahabaa ke afsaane

sharaab-e-beKhudii ke mujh ko saaGar yaad aate hai.n

rahaa karate hai.n qaid-e-hosh me.n ae wai naakaamii

wo dasht-e-Khud faraamoshii ke chakkar yaad aate hai.n

nahii.n aatii to yaad unakii mahiino.n bhar nahii.n aatii

magar jab yaad aate hai.n to aksar yaad aate hai.n

haqiiqat khul gaii ‘Hasrat’ tere tark-e-mohabbat kii

tujhe to ab wo pahale se bhii ba.D kar yaad aate hai.n
