main siyah-ru apne khaliq se jo neamat mangta
apna munh dhone ko pahle aab-e-khajlat mangta

mere rukhe-sukhe tukde mujh ko kar dete hain ser
khak bhar deta falak munh mein jo neamat mangta

khalq par hoti jo aadab-e-shahadat aashkar
murgh-e-bismil bhi tadapne ki ijazat mangta

rahm ham-afat-rasidon par jo karta aasman
sans lene ki hujum-e-gham mein mohlat mangta

rolta moti jo karta kisht-kari khair ki
hun barasta main agar baran-e-rahmat mangta

past-bakhti ne mujhe mahfuz rakkha shukr hai
tut padta aasman sar par jo rifat mangta

qadr mere gauhar-e-dil ki kuchh us but ne na ki
but-kada lilam hota main jo qimat mangta

ek bosa mangne par yar ka rukh phir gaya
jaan main deta agar wo be-murawwat mangta

main agar aazadgi mein sarw ko karta murid
tera guldasta sa qad tuba se baiat mangta

dekh pata kushtagan-e-ishq ka rutba agar
pani pi pi kar khizar jam-e-shahadat mangta

dil mein padte zakhm agar gulzar ki karta hawas
main lahu rota agar baran-e-rahmat mangta

kab raha simab jab simab chandi ho gaya
qalb mahiyyat meri hoti jo daulat mangta

kya khabar thi subh ho jaegi tere nur se
sham se mera charagh-e-khana rukhsat mangta

aankh jhuk jati nazar aata agar tu khwab mein
tere khal-e-rukh se yusuf dagh-e-hasrat mangta

khaiye kyunkar niwale motiyon ke ai hawas
tair-e-dil hans ki ai kash qismat mangta

josh-e-wahshat le chala itni na mohlat de mujhe
koh-o-sahra ke azizon se tu rukhsat mangta

dushmani rakhta hai arbab-e-manash se aasman
hath malta umr-bhar dam-bhar jo rahat mangta

be diye mumkin nahin duniya mein ho ijra-e-kar
aamilon se ism-e-azam bhi hai dawat mangta

khun-e-ashiq par kamar bandhe hue hain khub-ru
tegh-e-misri halq par hoti jo sharbat mangta

kya khabar thi aasiyon ki bhi dua maqbul hai
'bahr' duniya ke bakhede se faraghat mangta
