Yaad Aaen Jo Ayyam-e-bahaaran To Kidhar Jaen

yaad aaen jo ayyam-e-bahaaran to kidhar jaen

ye to koi chaara nahin sar phoD ke mar jaen

qadmon ke nishan hain na koi mil ka patthar

is rah se ab jin ko guzarna hai guzar jaen

rasmen hi badal di hain zamane ne dilon ki

kis waza se us bazm mein ai dida-e-tar jaen

jaan dene ke dawe hon ki paiman-e-wafa ho

ji mein to ye aata hai ki ab hum bhi mukar jaen

har mauj gale lag ke ye kahti hai Thahar jao

dariya ka ishaara hai ki hum par utar jaen

shishe se bhi nazuk hain inhen chhu ke na dekho

aisa na ho aankhon ke hasin KHwab bikhar jaen

tarik hue jate hain baDhte hue sae

'aKHtar' se kaho sham hui aap bhi ghar jaen
