chupake chupake raat din aa.Nsuu bahanaa yaad hai
ham ko ab tak aashiqii kaa vo zamaanaa yaad hai

baahazaaraa.N iztiraab-o-sad-hazaaraa.N ishtiyaaq
tujhase vo pahale pahal dil kaa lagaanaa yaad hai

tujhase milate hii vo bebaak ho jaanaa meraa
aur teraa daato.n me.n vo u.Ngalii dabaanaa yaad hai

khii.nch lenaa vo meraa parde kaa konaa daffaatan
aur dupaTTe se teraa vo muu.Nh chhupaanaa yaad hai

jaan kar sotaa tujhe vo qasa-e-paabosii meraa
aur teraa Thukaraa ke sar vo muskuraanaa yaad hai

tujh ko jab ta.nhaa kabhii paanaa to az_raahe-lihaaz
hal-e-dil baato.n hii baato.n me.n jataanaa yaad hai

jab sivaa mere tumhaaraa koii diivaanaa na thaa
sach kaho kyaa tum ko bhii vo kaarKhaanaa yaad hai

Gair kii nazaro.n se bachakar sab kii marzii ke Khilaaf
vo teraa chorii chhipe raato.n ko aanaa yaad hai

aa gaya gar vasl kii shab bhii kahii.n zikr-e-firaaq
vo teraa ro ro ke mujhako bhii rulaanaa yaad hai

do-pahar kii dhuup me.n mere bulaane ke liye
vo teraa kothe pe na.nge paao.n aanaa yaad hai

dekhanaa mujhako jo bargashtaa to sau sau naaz se
jab manaa lenaa to phir Khud ruuTh jaanaa yaad hai

chori chori ham se tum aa kar mile the jis jagah
muddate.n guzarii.n par ab tak wo thikaanaa yaad hai

beruKhii ke saath sunaanaa dard-e-dil kii dastaa.N
aur teraa hatho.n me.n vo ka.ngan ghumaanaa yaad hai

vaqt-e-ruKhsat alvidaa kaa lafz kahane ke liye
vo tere sukhe labo.n kaa thar-tharaanaa yaad hai

baavajuud-e-iddaa-e-ittaqaa 'Hasrat' mujhe
aaj tak ahad-e-havas kaa ye fasaanaa yaad hai
