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
