dil dhadakane ka sabab yaad aaya

vo teri yaad thi ab yaad aaya



aaj mushkil tha sambhalana ai dost

tuu musibat mein ajab yaad aaya



din guzaara tha badi mushkil se

phir tera vaadaa-e-shab yaad aaya



tera bhuula hua paimaan-e-vafa

mar rahenge agar ab yaad aaya



phir kayi log nazar se guzare

phir koyi shahar-e-tarab yaad aaya



haal-e-dil ham bhi sunaate lekin

jab wo rukasat huye tab yaad aaya



baith kar saayaa-e-gul mein ' naasir' 

ham bahut roye vo jab yaad aaya
