denaa vo us kaa saaghar-e-mai yaad hai 'nizaam' — Nizam Rampuri

ab kyaa milein kisi se kahaan jaaein ham'nizaam'
ham vo nahin rahe vo mohabbat nahin rahi

jo kuchh ishaare hote hain sab dekhtaa huun main
saari sharaarat aap ki meri nazar mein hai

sach hai 'nizaam' yaad bhi us ko na honge ham
par kyaa karein vo ham se bhulaayaa na jaaegaa

teraa milnaa to hai mushkil magar itnaa to huaa
apnaa marnaa mujhe aasaan na huaa thaa so huaa

main na kahtaa thaa ki bahkaaenge tum ko dushman
tum ne kis vaaste aanaa mire ghar chhoD diyaa

uThtaa huun us ki bazm se jab ho ke naa-umid
phir phir ke dekhtaa huun koi ab pukaar le

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

koi viraani si viraani hai
dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aayaa

uThaa sakte nahin jab chuum kar hi chhoDnaa achchhaa
mohabbat kaa ye patthar is dafa bhaari ziyaada hai

tum se chhuT kar bhi tumhein bhulnaa aasaan na thaa
tum ko hi yaad kiyaa tum ko bhulaane ke liye
