bahaaro.n ko chaman yaad aa gayaa hai
mujhe vo gul_badan yaad aa gayaa hai

lachakatii shaaKh ne jab sar uThaayaa
kisii kaa baa.Nkpan yaad aa gayaa hai

merii Khaamoshiyo.n par ha.Nsane vaalo
mujh vo kam_suKhan yaad aa gayaa hai

tumhe.n mil kar ke ai yazadaa.N_parasto
Guruur-e-aharaman yaad aa gayaa hai

terii suurat ko jab dekhaa hai mai.n ne
uruuj-e-fikr-o-fan yaad aa gayaa hai

kisii kaa Khuubasuurat sher sun kar
teraa lutf-e-suKhan yaad aa gayaa hai

mile vo ajanabii ban kar to 'Rifat'
zamaane kaa chalan yaad aa gayaa hai
