har gam pe aawargi-o-dar-ba-dari mein
ek dhyan ka saya hai meri ham-safari mein

ta-hadd-e-nazar pighli hui ret ka dariya
kis samt nikal aae hain ye be-khabari mein

kis ki tarab-andaz-nazar ghol rahi hai
andoh-o-gham-o-soz mizaj-e-bashari mein

kya koi kahin kunj-e-khayaban-e-sukun hai
ai dasht-e-gham-e-zist teri be-shajari mein

ai qarya-e-dil dekh guzarti hai isi taur
har shahr pe barbaadi-o-zer-o-zabari mein

ahl-e-talab-o-shauq zamanon se pade hain
arsa-gah-e-khud-sozi-o-hairan-nazari mein

lahrae na lahrae wo ab barq-e-khad-o-khal
ab hum nahin khar-e-khas-e-ashufta-sari mein

ek hamdam-e-derina ki yaadon ki kasak hai
khushbu-e-khush-anfasi-e-baad-e-sahari mein

nigaran meri jaanib nigah-e-khush-hunran hai
kuchh to hunar aakhir hai meri be-hunari mein

ek tesha-e-sad-para ki surat hain 'bashir' ab
hasil yad-e-tula tha jinhen shisha-gari mein
