ab main hun aur ek zat hai jalwe hain na parde
ai kash khuda sab ko ye taufiq-e-nazar de

ai khaliq-e-gham mujh ko wahi dida-e-tar de
in khak ke zarron ko bhi jo tab-e-guhar de

uthti hai sada dil se to kho jata hun khud mein
deta hai kise kaun sada koi khabar de

us sham-e-judai ke tasadduq mah-o-anjum
jis sham-e-judai ko khud aawaz sahar de

khud hasil-e-mai-khana-e-kaunain jo ban jae
ya-rab mujhe wo tishnagi-e-fikr-o-nazar de

wan husn ko ye shauq ki parda rahe qaem
yan ishq ko ye dhun mujhe apna hi sa kar de

ai husn ba-yak-waqt tera jalwa-o-parda
ye raaz koi ahl-e-junun fash na kar de

har zarra-e-alam ne diya dars ye mujh ko
jo hamil-e-jalwa hain wahi hain tere parde

aankhon ko to bakhshi hai zaban tu ne gham-e-ishq
ab zauq-e-samaat ko bhi ehsas-e-nazar de

ye rah-e-mohabbat hai qadam uth nahin sakte
jab tak unhen manzil hi na khud izn-e-safar de

har rang ki saqi tere maikhane mein pi li
ab to mera saghar mai-e-be-rang se bhar de

ai kash 'bashir' aap ko hasil ho ye nisbat
har tar-e-nafas tar-e-rag-e-jaan ki khabar de
