koi meayar-e-mohabbat na raha mere baad
har taraf aam hain khasan-e-wafa mere baad

silsila un ke sitam ka na raha mere baad
badla badla sa hai dastur-e-jafa mere baad

kaun pahnega gale mein teri ulfat ki kamand
kis ke sar hogi teri zulf-e-dota mere baad

hongi qurban tere rukh pe nigahen kis ki
chand ho jaega haale se juda mere baad

sochta hun ki ba-in aalam-e-betabi-e-dil
kaun mangega mohabbat ki dua mere baad

dad chahenge meri tarah mita kar kis ko
ishwa-o-ghamza-e-andaz-o-ada mere baad

thokaren khati phiregi shab-e-yalda-e-firaq
khun roegi har ek taza bala mere baad

suni suni si hai har mahfil-e-iza-e-talabi
jaise duniya mein koi gham na raha mere baad

khira ho jati thi jis se nigah-e-sabr-o-qarar
un ke lab par wo tabassum na raha mere baad

kya khabar thi ki main khud sath na dunga apna
gosht ho jaega nakhun se juda mere baad

fitrat-e-husn ko hai aise sitam-kash ki talash
jo wafa par bhi kare uzr-e-khata mere baad

zard kar dega use meri tabahi ka khayal
rang laya bhi agar rang-e-hina mere baad

un ka diwana to kahlana hai mushkil 'basit'
koi diwana agar ban bhi gaya mere baad
