phul honton ko ghazal-khwan dekhna
mujh ko bahkane ke saman dekhna

dekhna dil ke dar o diwar par
chand chehron ka charaghan dekhna

ghul-labon se ki hai main ne guftugu
mere honton par gulistan dekhna

zulf lahra ke mere dil mein zara
khwahishon ka ek tufan dekhna

us ko pa lena to phir meri tarah
khud ko khud apna hi khwahan dekhna

jalte rahna us ke gham ki aanch par
dard ban jaega darman dekhna

tujh ko jab chaha to 'bismil' ban gaya
kitna dana hai ye nadan dekhna
