kufr ek rang-e-qudrat-e-be-intiha mein hai
jis but ko dekhta hun wo yaad-e-khuda mein hai

aashiq hai jo ki jama-e-sidq-o-safa mein hai
mashuq hai jo parda-e-hilm-o-haya mein hai

aalam hai mast sajda-e-jaanan mein ta-abad
masti bala ki baada-e-qalu-bala mein hai

iman hai aks-e-rukh to hai gesu ka aks-e-kufr
wo kaun chiz hai jo teri ma-siwa mein hai

abru ke mahw kabe mein surat ke dair mein
ushshaq rukh ka silsila nur-o-ziya mein hai

be-jalwa-gah-e-yar kahan ye ruju-e-khalq
bahs-e-fuzul barhaman-o-parsa mein hai

juya hai bas ki aariz-o-gesu-e-yar ka
paband shaikh sajda-e-subh-o-masa mein hai

raftar moajaza hai to hai sehr chaal mein
shokhi ajab tarah ki tere naqsh-e-pa mein hai

teri taraf ko muslim o kafir ki hai ruju
puja mein barhaman hai to zahid dua mein hai

maqtul lakhon ho chuke shaeq hazar-ha
lazzat ajib yar ki tegh-e-jafa mein hai

ek pech-o-kham mein gabr-o-musalman hain mubtala
wusat bala ki yar ki zulf-e-rasa mein hai

'bahram' aashiqana ghazal ek aur bhi
quwwat abhi bahut teri fikr-e-rasa mein hai
