Wohi ishq jo tha kabhi junoon ussay roz-gaar bana diya,

Wohi ishq jo tha kabhi junoon ussay roz-gaar bana diya,

Kahin zakhm bech k aa gaye kahin sher koi suna diya.



Wohi hum k jin ko Aziz the dur-e-abroo ki chamak dhamak,

Yahi hum k roz-e-siyah mein zar-e-dagh-e-dil bhi luta diya.



Kabhi youn bhi tha k hazaar teer jigar me thay to dukhi na thay,

Magar ab ye kisi mehrabaani k tapak ne bhi rula diya.



Kabhi khud ko toot'tay phot'tay bhi jo dekhtay to hazeen na thay,

Magar aaj bhi khud pe nazar pari to shikast-e-jaan ne hila diya.



Koi nama dilbar-e-shehr ka k ghazal gari ka bahana ko,

Wohi harf-e-dill jisay muddaton se hum ahl-e-dil ne bhula diya.
