uf ye barfani hawa tere baghair
kya piyun o be-wafa tere baghair

panw mein dali hui zanjir hai
zindagi ka silsila tere baghair

hai ghulamon ke dilon ki be-hisi
ye hawa aur ye faza tere baghair

dasht-e-tira ki khamosh uftad hai
zindagi ka muddaa tere baghair

zindagi aur phir hamari zindagi
hai gunahon ki saza tere baghair

zindagi aur zindagi ki dhup chhanw
ta-ba-ke aur ta-kuja tere baghair

dida-e-be-nur hai mere liye
aarzuon ki baqa tere baghair

zahidon ke dil ki hai be-maegi
mahfil-e-arz-o-sama tere baghair

kyon sanbhaala le liya bimar ne
hae ye kya ho gaya tere baghair

ye tajjub hai ki zinda hai abhi
'bismil'-e-dard-ashna tere baghair
