sehn-e-gulshan mein chali phir ke hawa bismillah
chashm-e-bad-dur bahaar aai hai kya bismillah

mushaf-e-rukh pe tere abru-e-paiwasta nahin
mu-qalam se yad-e-qudrat ne likha bismillah

is qadar tha wo nasha main ki yaka-yak jo gira
main na bola pa mere dil ne kaha bismillah

zulf us aariz-e-rangin pe bikharne jo lagi
bol uthi munh se wahin baad-e-saba bismillah

aaj gulshan mein zara panw jo phisla us ka
gul hansa ghunche ne jaldi se kaha bismillah

yar qatil mere jo jo ki lagata tha war
lab pe har zakhm ke nikle thi sada bismillah

shisha o saqi o saghar bhi hazir hain 'nazir'
mai-kashi kijiye ab der hai kya bismillah
