jab ki sar par wabaal aata hai
pech mein baal baal aata hai

kab payam-e-visal aata hai
khwab hai jo khayal aata hai

tegh-e-irfan se ruh bismil hai
haal par apne haal aata hai

shal hai har chand panja-e-mizgan
par kaleja nikal aata hai

kya ajab ishq ho jo piri mein
dudh mein bhi ubaal aata hai

khub chalti hai naw kaghaz ki
ghar mein qazi ke mal aata hai

dher hai dil mein ab kudurat ka
mitti lene kalal aata hai

chal nikalti hai kashti-e-amal
araq-e-infial aata hai

hijr ke din yun hi guzarte hain
mah jate hain sal aata hai

tere aankhon ke samne sayyaad
zabh hone ghazal aata hai

jis ne us ki gali mein phal paya
kha ke patthar nihaal aata hai

sar kata kar shahid hote hain
umr kho kar kamal aata hai

na milega siwa muqaddar se
jehl hai ja malal aata hai

bahr-e-zar gul hai palla-e-mizan
til ke kante pe mal aata hai

'bahr' ki sun ke aarifana ghazal
shah-e-dariya ko haal aata hai
