paltenge rukh apna kab ye mah ye sal aakhir
kab tak hamein rahna hai yun gham se nidhaal aakhir

kya had se guzarna ye ai mast-e-kamal aakhir
har chiz ko duniya mein lazim hai zawal aakhir

wo satwat-e-qaisar ho ya hashmat-e-iskandar
mil jata hai mitti mein sab jah-o-jalal aakhir

main tujh ko batata hun kya ishq mein hota hai
arman-o-talab awwal andoh-o-malal aakhir

ye ishq jise tu ne ek mashghala samjha hai
kar dega tera jina khud tujh pa muhaal aakhir

mahrumi-o-nakaami dil-sozi o jaan-kahi
hota hai mohabbat ka aksar ye maal aakhir

mujh sokhta-saman ke pahlu-e-mohabbat mein
aaya hai ghazal ban kar wo zohra-jamal aakhir

qismat ko jagane mein ghaflat ko hatane mein
ban jaenge ek din hum aap apni misal aakhir

zeb-e-waraq-e-dil hai ye qaul 'bahaar' apna
takmil-e-riyaz awwal tahsil-e-kamal aakhir
