jab tak ki dil na laga un be-murawwaton se
ayyam apne guzre kya kya faraghaton se

baalin par bhi zalim tuk yak nazar na dekha
aashiq ne jaan di to par kya hi hasraton se

mat puchh ye ki tujh bin shab kis tarah se guzri
kati to raat lekin kin kin musibaton se

mazmun soz-e-dil ka kahte hi udne lage
harf o nuqat sharar-san yaksan kitabaton se

'bedar' sair-e-gulshan kyun-kar khush aawe mujh ko
jun lala dagh hai dil yaron ki furqaton se
