Kuch yaad'gaar-e-shaher-e-sitam'gar hi lay chalain

Kuch yaad'gaar-e-shaher-e-sitam'gar hi lay chalain

Aye hain is gali main to pathar hi lay chalain

Youn kis tarah katay ga karri dhoop ka safar

Sar pe khayal-e-yaar ki chahdar hi lay chalain

Ranj-e-safr ki koi nishaani to paas ho

Thori se khaak-e-koocha-e-dil'bar hi lay chalain

Yeh keh kay hamain chairti hai hamain dil'giraftagi

Ghabra gaye hain ab to baahir hi lay chalain

Is shaher-e-be'chragh main jaye gi tu kahan

Aa ae-e-shab-e-firaaq tujhay ghar hi lay chalain
