gaya hai jab se dikha jalwa wo pari-rukhsar
na khwab dida-e-giryan mein hai na dil ko qarar

hazar rang se phule chaman mein go gulzar
par us baghair khush aati nahin mujhe ye bahaar

ba-rang-e-lala-e-sar mai-kashi nahin tujh bin
ki khun-e-dil se main har roz todta hun khumar

gulon ke munh pe na ye rang-e-ab-o-tab rahe
wo rashk-e-bagh kare gar udhar ko aa ke guzar

ajab nahin ki baha dewe khana-e-mardum
rahe gar ashk-fishan yunhi dida-e-khun-bar

rihai kyunki ho ya-rab main is mein hairan hun
ki ek dil hai mera tis pe dard-o-gham hai hazar

kaha main us but-e-abru-kaman ki khidmat mein
khadang-e-jabr ne tere kiya hai mujh ko nigar

na rahm tere dil-e-sakht mein hai ghair-az-zulm
na mere nala-e-jaan-soz mein asar ai yar

na tab hijr ki rakhta hun ne umid-e-visal
khuda hi jaane ki kya hoga us ka aakhir-kar

har ek din mujhe yun sujhta hai ji tan se
nikal hi jaega ham-rah-e-ah-e-atish-bar

na tu mazar pe aawega ta-dam-e-mahshar
rahegi dida-e-giryan ko hasrat-e-didar

abas tu mujh ko daraata hai apne marne se
hazar tujh se mere mar gae hain aashiq-e-zar

ye sun ke kahne laga wo sitamgar-e-be-rahm
meri bala se jo mar jaega tu ai 'bedar'
