Yaad Ayyame Ki Dil Rakhte the Jaan Rakhte the Hum

yaad ayyame ki dil rakhte the jaan rakhte the ham

shikva-sanji ke liye munh men zaban rakhte the ham

saz-e-gham rakhte the ham soz-e-nihan rakhte the ham

sar men sauda dil men nashtar sa nihan rakhte the ham

gard-bad asaz men bar asman rakhte the ham

apne qadmon ke tale saara jahan rakhte the ham

hasrat-e-ashuftagi shauq-e-ziyan rakhte the ham

rauzan-e-ummid-o-bim-e-pasban rakhte the ham

fursat-e-be-sud sa.i-e-ra.igan rakhte the ham

tha duaon se pare vo astan rakhte the ham

parda-e-jan men nigar-e-dil-sitan rakhte the ham

gulshan-e-dil men bahar-e-be-ḳhizan rakhte the ham

kunj-e-uzlat men sarishk-e-ḳhun ravan rakhte the ham

raz-daron se bhi ik raz-e-nihan rakhte the ham

shab hama shab khelte the halqa-ha-e-zulf se

dida-e-ghammaz ko ham dastan rakhte the ham

Thes pahunchate the pindar-e-ḳhudi ko rat-din

phir bhi dil ki arzuon ko javan rakhte the ham

ab na vo dil hai na vo sauda na vo tughyan-e-shauq

yaad ayyame ki dil vaqf-e-fughan rakhte the ham
