Ab woh galiyan woh makaan yaad nahin..

Ab woh galiyan woh makaan yaad nahin,

Kaun rehta tha kahan yaad nahin,

Jalva-e-husn-e-azal they woh dayaar*,

Jin ke ab naam-o-nishaan yaad nahin,

Koii ujlaa sa bhalaa sa ghar tha,

Kis ko dekha tha wahaan yaad nahin,

Yaad hai zeena-e-pechaan* us kaa,

Dar-o-deewar-e-makaan yaad nahin,

Yaad hai zamzama-e-saaz-e-bahaar,

Shor-e-awaaz-e-khizaan yaad nahin..
