na jaane kab wo palat aayen dar khula rakhana 

gaye huwon ke liye dil mein kuch jagah rakhana 



hazaar talk hon yaaden magar wo jab bhi milen 

zubaan pe achchhe dinon ka hi zaayaka rakhana 



na ho ke kurb hi phir marg-e-rabt ban jaaye 

mile agar to zara usase faasala rakhana 



utaar phaink de kush-fahamiyon ke saare gilaaf 

jo shaks bhool gaya usako yaad kya rakhana
