ishq ko rang-e-mustaqil ai mere chaara-saz de
saz na de to soz de soz na de to saz de

apni haqiqaton se tu hasb-e-talab nawaz de
la mere dast-e-shauq mein aaina-e-majaz de

mera shuur-e-zabt kyon chaaragaron ko raaz de
jis ne diya tha zakhm-e-dil kash wahi nawaz de

aa mere jazb-e-shauq ko martaba-e-ayaz de
nazr karun main dil tujhe tu mujhe apna raaz de

baada-o-jam ki taraf us ki nazar uthegi kya
jis ko surur mustaqil teri nigah-e-naz de

main ne 'bahaar' ek wo gul chun liya kaenat mein
jis ki har ek ada mujhe fikr-e-ghazal nawaz de
