gar kahin us ko jalwa-gar dekha
na gaya hum se aankh bhar dekha

nala har chand hum ne gar dekha
aah ab tak na kuchh asar dekha

aaj kya ji mein aa gaya tere
mutabassim ho jo idhar dekha

aaine ko to munh dikhate ho
kya hua hum ne bhi agar dekha

dil-ruba aur bhi hain par zalim
koi tujh sa na muft par dekha

aur bhi sang-dil hua wo shokh
tera ai aah bas asar dekha

minnat o aajizi o zari o aah
tere aage hazar kar dekha

to bhi tu ne na ai mah-e-be-mehr
nazar-e-rahm se idhar dekha

sach hai 'bedar' wo hai aafat-e-jaan
hum ne bhi qissa-mukhtasar dekha
