hum na-qishon ke daur mein kaamil hue to kya
ujde hue ilaqe ke aamil hue to kya

hum ko to iftikhar hai paigham-e-yar par
jibril aasman se nazil hue to kya

muddat se phir rahi hai chhuri jaan-e-zar par
hum aaj tegh-e-yar se bismil hue to kya

daghon mein us ke dagh-e-mohabbat ki bu kahan
lale ke phul hum se muqabil hue to kya

rahat nasib hum ko hui rahmat ai karim
takra ke sar bahisht mein dakhil hue to kya

phulon mein zar luta na gul-e-surkh ka kabhi
be-faiz log raunaq-e-mahfil hue to kya

us ki sifat yahi hai ki be-mange di murad
dargah mein karim ke sail hue to kya

aasan hain jo nakhun-e-taqdir tez hai
matlab hamare uqda-e-mushkil hue to kya

murdon ko zinda kijiye nam-awari ye hai
isa banao aap ko qatil hue to kya

har-dam charagh-e-dil ki idhar lau lagi rahe
hum apni yaadgar se ghafil hue to kya

hoga na ek rang khizan-o-bahaar ka
budhe agar jawanon ke shamil hue to kya

apne maal-e-kar se jab be-khabar hue
hafiz hue to khak jo fasil hue to kya

tan se mafariqat nahin karti tab-e-firaq
tawiz bhi gale mein hamail hue to kya

ai 'bahr' baghban ki minnat bala kare
do-chaar phul bagh se hasil hue to kya
