jab kali koi muskuraati hai
jaane kyon teri yaad aati hai

sar patakti hain maujen sahil par
jab meri naw dagmagati hai

tu hai ya teri yaad hai ai dost
koi shai dil ko gudgudati hai

un se kya kahiye muddaa dil ka
baat kahne se baat jati hai

mere saz-e-hayat par har dam
maut mithe suron mein gati hai

jab se bakhsha hai tum ne gham mujh ko
wusat-e-qalb badhti jati hai

azm-e-mohkam bhi ho agar hamrah
khair-maqdam ko manzil aati hai

jo khudi ko buland rakhte hain
sar pe duniya unhen bithati hai

is tawaqqo pe ji raha hun 'bahaar'
jaise ab aarzu bar aati hai
