Yahin ki thee muhabbat ke sabaq ki ibteda meine

Yahin ki thee muhabbat ke sabaq ki ibteda meine

Yahin ki jurrat-e-izhar-e-harfe-mudduaa meine

Yahin dekhe thay ishw-e-nazon andaaz-e-haya meine

Yahin pahle suni thee del dharkane ki sadaa meine

Yahin kheto mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi

Dilon mein izdaham-e-aarzoo lab band rahate thay

Nazar se guftugu hoti thee dum ulfat ka bharate thay

Na mathay par shikan hoti, na jab tevar badalate thay

Khuda bhi bhee muskura deta thaa jab hum pyar karate thay

Yahin kheto mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi

Woh kya aata ke goya daur mein jaam-e-sharab aata

Woh kya aata rangilee ragani rangin rabab aata

Mujhe ranginiyon mein rangane woh rangin sahab aata

Labon ki may pilane jhumata mast-e-shabab aata

Yahin kheto mein pani ke kinaro yaad hai ab bhi

Haya ke bojh se jab har qadam par laghzishen hoti

Fazan mein muntashar rangin badan ki larzishen hoti

Rabab-e-dil ke taron mein musalsil jumbishen hoti

Khifa-e-raaz ki purlutf baham koshishen hoti

Yahin kheo mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi

Bah jate thay baithe ishq ke zarri safinay mein

Tamannaon ka tufan karawaten leta tha seene mein

Jo chhu leta tha maine usko woh naha jata pasine mein

May-e-do aatisha ke se mazey aate thay jeene mein

Yahin kheto mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi

Bala-e-fikre farda hamse koson door hoti thee

Surur-e-sarmadi se zindagi mamur hoti thee

Hamari khilwat-e-masoom rashke toor hoti thee

Mulik jhula jhulate thay ghazal-khwan hoor hoti thee

Yahin kheto mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi

Na ab woh khet baqi hain na woh aab-e-rawan baqi

Magar us aish-e-rafata ka hai ik dhundhla nishan baaqi
