aahon se honge gumbad-e-haft-asman kharab
kis kis makan ko na karega dhuan kharab

mar kar bhi apne sath rahen harza-gardiyan
hai musht-e-khak surat-e-reg-e-rawan kharab

qamat wo hai ki jis se qayamat hai aashkar
naqsha wo hai ki jis se hai naqsh-e-jahan kharab

tab-o-tawan ko jism mein yun dhundhti hai ruh
jaise ghubar-e-rah pas-e-karwan kharab

na-saz ho mizaj to baaton mein kya maza
bimar ki tarah hai zaban o dahan kharab

zewar zawal-e-husn mein pahna to kya bahaar
patte sunahre surat-e-barg-e-khizan kharab

qitmir se karunga sag-e-yar ka gila
marqad ke ghaar mein jo huin haddiyan kharab

ai 'bahr' tujh ko dhund phire shash-jihat mein hum
tera pata kahin bhi hai o khanuman-kharab
