Dil dhadakne ka sabab yaad aaya,
Wo teri yaad thi ab yaad aaya.
Aaj mushkil tha sambhalna, ai dost,
Tu musibat mein ajab yaad aaya.
Din guzara tha badi mushkil se,
Phir tera wada-e-shab yaad aaya.
Tera bhoola hua paiman-e-wafa,
Mar rahe hain agar ab yaad aaya.
Phir kai log nazar se guzre,
Phir koi shahr-e-tarab yaad aaya.
Haal-e-dil hum bhi sunate lekin,
Jab woh rukhsat hua tab yaad aaya.
Baith kar saya-e-gul mein ‘Nasir’,
Hum bahut roye, woh jab yaad aaya.
