Dil Dhadhknay Ka Sabab Yaad Aaya 
Woh Teri Yaad Thi, Abh Yaad Aaya 


Aaj Mushkil Tha Samabhalna Aye Dost 
Tu Museebat Mai Ajab Yaad Aaya 

Din Guzara Tha Badhi Mushkil Sai 
Phir Tera Wadah Aye Sham Yaad Aaya 


Haal E Dil Hum Bhi Sunatay Lakin 
Jub Woh Rukhsat Huwa Tab Yaad Aaya 


Beht Ker Saya Aye Gul May Nasir 
Hum Bohut Ro Aye Woh Jub Yaad Yaad Aaya 
(Nasir Kazmi)
