falak ne abr mere sine ka bukhar kiya
mujhe mujhi pe sitamgar ne ashk-bar kiya

har ek zarre ne ijad sad-bahaar kiya
ye meri khak ko kis gul ne rahguzar kiya

bala hai shauq-e-shahadat na us ne war kiya
jigar ko aap hi badh kar sinan ke par kiya

main khush hun wada-e-farda pe kaun shakhs hun main
wo shokh aur ye umr us pe eatibar kiya

kuchh aisi chiz na the do-jahan kya hote
dikha ke aaina tum par tumhein nisar kiya

zamin mein zalzala hai aasman mein tahlka hai
kisi ne aaj kisi dil ko be-qarar kiya

ye aable nahin nikli hai aankh har mu par
tera to mere sarape ne intizar kiya

mazaq-e-ishq to dekho ki dil hi dil nikle
jo chaak sina mera surat-e-anar kiya

hanuz sang mein aaina hai khusha farhad
ki baad-e-marg bhi shirin ka intizar kiya

tariq-e-ishq mein ki be-khudi se tai manzil
ye thi wo rah ki na apna bhi eatibar kiya

ki kyun ho aashiq-o-mashuq ka jahan dushman
ki husn-o-ishq ne achchhon ko be-qarar kiya

udhar wo jalwa ki musa ko be-hawas rakha
idhar ye jazba ki yusuf ko be-dayar kiya

saron pe dawar-e-mahshar ne farsh kin aankhen
tumhaare aane ka kya kya na intizar kiya

'bayan' mera dil-e-khunin wo qatra hai jis ko
muhit-e-azam-e-gham-ha-e-rozgar kiya
