bulwata hai aqab se mera qafila mujhe
kaisa mila hai tund-wari ka sila mujhe

furqat ke din guzarna yun to muhaal tha
ek teri yaad ne hi diya hausla mujhe

ye aur baat hai ki mera zarf tang tha
apni taraf se tu ne to sab kuchh diya mujhe

jab gardish-e-falak se na kuchh baat ban saki
duniya-e-rang-o-bu ka banaya khuda mujhe

go farsh par hun phir bhi tasawwur mein arsh hai
dekha tera khayal kahan le gaya mujhe

tere karam ka zarra-nawazi ka shukriya
duniya bhi kah rahi hai qatil-e-jafa mujhe

'bismil' ki aarzuen to pamal kar chuke
ab de rahe ho hasula-e-mudda mujhe
