Chehra-e-zindagi Nikhar Aaya

chehra-e-zindagi nikhar aaya

jab kabhi hum ne jam chhalkaya

sham-e-hijran bhi ek qayamat thi

aap aae to mujh ko yaad aaya

rang phika paDa wafaon ka

aaj kuchh is tarah wo sharmaya

yun to be-chainiyan muqaddar thin

teri qurbat ne aur taDpaya

kya qayamat wo kam-nigahi thi

har haqiqat ko jis ne jhuThlaya

kya hui wo dilon ki masumi

husn ruTha na ishq pachhtaya

hae kis kis maqam par dil ko

us uchaTti nazar ne bhaTkaya

KHud-shanasi thi justuju teri

tujh ko DhunDa to aap ko paya

'naqsh' aankhon mein aa gae aansu

aaj aise mein kaun yaad aaya
