shabnam to bagh mein hai na yun chashm-e-tar ki hum
ghuncha bhi is qadar hai na khuni jigar ki hum

jun aaftab us mah-e-be-mahr ke liye
aise phire na koi phira dar-ba-dar ki hum

kahta hai nala aah se dekhen to kaun jald
us shokh sang-dil mein kare tu hai ghar ki hum

hai har dur-e-sukhan pe saza-war gosh-e-yar
moti sadaf rakhe hai par aise guhar ki hum

munh par se shab naqab utha yar ne kaha
raushan-jamal dekh tu ab hai qamar ki hum

zar kya hai mal tujh pe karen naqd-e-jaan nisar
itna to aur kaun hai ai sim-bar ki hum

ta-zist hum buton ke rahe sath misl-e-zulf
yun umr kis ne ki hai jahan mein basar ki hum

ghussa ho kis pe aae ho jo tewari chadha
laeq itab ke nahin koi magar ki hum

'bedar' shart hai na palak se palak lage
dekhen to raat ja ke hai ya tu sahar ki hum
