dekhne wale ye bole chashm-ha-e-yar ke
ye to mastane hain shayad khana-e-khammar ke

dil mera shayad hai shaidaon mein tir-e-yar ke
zakhm-ha-e-dil mushabah hain lab-e-sofar ke

par utara bahr-e-na-paida-kanar-e-ishq se
sadqe jaun kyon na teri tegh-e-langar-dar ke

uth saka hargiz kisi surat na tera na-tawan
dab gaya jo niche tere saya-e-diwar ke

kya khabar us ko ki kab raat aai aur kab din gaya
roz-o-shab yaksan hain aage chashm-e-shab-bedar ke

jaan-fazai gham-rubai dilkashi farhat-dahi
hain khawas-e-khas ye khak-e-dar-e-dildar ke

jo dikha de jalwa ru-e-shahid-e-maqsud ka
sadqe saqi is sharab-e-aina-kirdar ke

ishq mein us but ke rahban-o-shuyukh-o-barhaman
hain ye sab ke sab muqayyad rishta-e-zunnar ke

bole behtar hai husul-e-arzu se aarzu
wah sadqe jaiye is pahlu-e-inkar ke

gham uthana zulm sahna sabr karna ya ki shukr
kaun hai husn-e-amal laeq teri sarkar ke

kyon na main samjhun ki mujh ko mil gai dad-e-sukhan
wo bahut shaeq hain ai 'bedil' mere ashaar ke
