justuju karte hi karte kho gaya
un ko jab paya to khud gum ho gaya

kya khabar yaran-e-rafta ki mile
phir na aaya us gali mein jo gaya

jab uthaya us ne apni bazm se
bakht jage panw mera so gaya

mujh ko hai khoe hue dil ki talash
aur wo kahte hain ki jaane do gaya

khair hai kyun is qadar betab hain
hazrat-e-dil aap ko kya ho gaya

wo meri baalin aa kar phir gae
jag kar mera muqaddar so gaya

aaj phir 'bedam' ki haalat ghair hai
mai-kasho lena zara dekho gaya
