dagh baiana husn ka na hua
khote damon moamla na hua

dil mukaddar raha safa na hua
faiz aaina-ruon ka na hua

kuchh na kaam aae dagh ki buti
qalb tanba raha tila na hua

dard-mandan-e-khal kahte hain
goliyan khain faeda na hua

dil khayalon se paemal raha
sabza-e-rah-guzar hara na hua

aae fasl-e-chaman ki id aae
ghunche chatke ki shadiyana hua

har kisi zulf mein raha uljha
dam-e-ulfat se dil riha na hua

na khatakte kisi ke aankhon mein
ye ghubar apna tutiya na hua

mere aage wo baithe ghair ke pas
pas mera unhen zara na hua

dil ne aise uthae ranj-o-tab
phir mohabbat ka hausla na hua

jab kisi ki nazar pade rukh par
khal-e-mushkin siyah dana hua

dekhi kaifiyyat-e-bahaar-o-khizan
main do-rangi se aashna na hua

dil shagufta hua na phulon se
koi kanta girah-kusha na hua

ghar bana kar yahan ye tang aaya
uqda-e-khatir aashiyana hua

rashk ka hai maal be-rangi
sabza pis kar kabhi hina na hua

'bahr' dil soch kar use dena
khud-gharaz aashna hua na hua
