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 

[shaaKh = branch]

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

[kam_suKhan = one who speaks little]

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

[uruuj-e-fikr-o-fan = height/zenith of thought and art] 

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
