kiya hai sandalin-rangon ne dar band
mera ho kis tarah se dard-e-sar band

nahin hain tere dam-e-zulf mein dil
latakte hain hazaron murgh par-band

nahin but-khana o kaba pe mauquf
hua har ek patthar mein sharar band

raqibon se hui hai bazm khali
karo darwaza be-khauf-o-khatar band

tamasha band aankhon mein hai mujh ko
hui meri ba-zahir chashm-e-tar band

nahin duniya mein aazadi kisi ko
hai din mein shams aur shab ko qamar band

dikhao mai-kasho ab zor-e-masti
kiya zahid ne mai-khane ka dar band

dar-e-jaanan bhi ek marja hai 'bahram'
hujum-e-ashiqan hai rahguzar band
