jalwa-e-arbab-e-duniya dekhiye
swang hai ye bhi tamasha dekhiye

sair ko utthe to hain wahshi mizaj
bagh jate hain ki sahra dekhiye

gar-che til hai us ke munh par khushnuma
nahs hai kya ek tara dekhiye

roiye jitna rulae hijr-e-yar
ghar mein baithe sair-e-dariya dekhiye

charkh-e-minai muafiq ho agar
dur-daur-e-jam-e-sahba dekhiye

ya-ilahi khair phir aae bahaar
kya harara lae sauda dekhiye

kal jo kuchh surat hui thi mit gai
aur hi hai aaj naqsha dekhiye

abruon mein phir girah padne lagi
bal tabiat mein phir aaya dekhiye

dardmand-e-chashm hain darman-talab
dekhte bhi hain masiha dekhiye

intizar-e-yar kahta hai yahi
zindagi jab tak hai rasta dekhiye

wasl sabit hai tafadil se magar
kab wo aata hai zamana dekhiye

kya bala-e-bad hai ye baad-e-khizan
ho gai sab phul patta dekhiye

bazm-e-na0-pursan mein qismat lai hai
baithiye apni agar ja dekhiye

'bahr' agar chamka sitara aish ka
laili-e-gardun ka mujra dekhiye
