tere shaida bhi hue ishq-e-tamasha bhi hue
tere diwane tere shahr mein ruswa bhi hue

zulf to zulf hai duniya se bhi uljhe hain ki hum
ek bagula bhi bane hamil-e-sahra bhi hue

tum to sun pae na aawaz-e-shikast-e-dil bhi
kuchh hamin the ki harif-e-gham-e-duniya bhi hue

hum faqiran-e-mohabbat ke ajab tewar hain
razm-e-kaba bhi bane bazm-e-kalisa bhi hue

mit ke hum khak hue khak-e-rah-e-ku-e-butan
ban ke hum hasil-e-sad-bazm-e-tajalli bhi hue

pesh-e-khurshid-e-rukhan zarra-e-nachiz rahe
aur hum ru-kash-e-husn-e-rukh-e-zeba bhi hue

zinat-e-mahfil-e-sad-zohra-jabinan hue hum
han magar ye ki bhari bazm mein tanha bhi hue

yun to 'baqar' bhi rahe khak-nashinon mein tere
ye alag baat tere lutf se yakta bhi hue
