youn rah-e-wafa ki saleb per

do qadam uthane ka shukriya

barra purkhatar tha ye rasta

tere lot jane ka shukriya

jo udas hain tere hijr main

jinhain bojh lagti hai zindagi

sar-e-bazm youn unhain dekh kar

tere muskurane ka shukriya

teri yad kis kis bhes main

mere sher-o-naghma main dhal gai

ye kamal tha teri yaad ka

mujhe yaad aane ka shukriya

jo zamane bhar ka usool tha

wo usool tu ne nibha dia

yehi rasm thehri hai motbar

mujhe bhool jane ka shukriya
