faqat qaziya yahi hai fann-e-tabi aur ilahi mein
jo ilm-e-marifat chahe to rah yaad-e-ilahi mein

samajhta hai usi ka jalwa-gah ghaib-e-shahadat ko
nahin kuchh farq aarif ko safedi o siyahi mein

nahin aaram mujh ko iztirab-e-dil se sine mein
ki dariya muztarib hota hai betabi-e-mahi mein

na kar maston se kawish har ghadi aaman kahta hun
khalal aa jaega zahid teri ismat-panahi mein

jaga kar khwab-e-asaish se 'bedar' aah hasti mein
adam-asudgan ko la ke dala hai tabahi mein

jo kaifiyyat hai masti se teri aankhon ki lali mein
nahin wo nashsha-e-rangin sharab-e-portugali mein

sar-o-barg-e-khushi ai gul-badan tujh bin kahan mujh ko
gulistan-e-dil aaya fauj-e-gham ki paemali mein

dur-e-dandan hue the maujzan kis bahr-e-khubi ke
ki moti sharm se pani hue silk-e-laali mein

jahan wo shakkarin-lab guftugu mein aawe ai tuti
sukhan sarsabz tera kab ho wan shirin-maqali mein

abas hai aarzu-e-khush-dili 'bedar' gardun se
mai-e-rahat jo chahe so kahan is jam-e-khali mein
