un ka barbaad-e-karam kahne ke qabil ho gaya
dard pahlu mein jahan bhi tha wahin dil ho gaya

barha dekha hai dil ne o mere mahw-e-khiram
hashr uttha aur tere qadmon mein shamil ho gaya

dil jahan uchhla faza-e-do-jahan par chha gaya
arsa-e-kaunain jab simta mera dil ho gaya

be-khabar rahna hi achchha is jahan-e-ghair mein
mit gaya jo waqif-e-adab-e-mahfil ho gaya

jo nigah-e-shauq utthi husn ban kar rah gai
jo qadam hum ne uthaya naqsh-e-manzil ho gaya

ya kabhi manzil thi maqsud-e-mazaq-e-justuju
ya mazaq-e-justuju maqsud-e-manzil ho gaya

hae 'basit' ye mere khun-e-tamanna ka asar
aur bhi rangin kuchh daman-e-qatil ho gaya
