un ko but samjha tha ya un ko khuda samjha tha main
han bata de ai jabin-e-shauq kya samjha tha main

allah allah kya inayat kar gai mizrab-e-ishq
warna saz-e-zindagi ko be-sada samjha tha main

un se shikwa kyun karun un se shikayat kya karun
khud badi mushkil se apna muddaa samjha tha main

meri haalat dekhiye mera tadapna dekhiye
aap ko is se gharaz kya hai ki kya samjha tha main

khul gaya ye raaz un aankhon ke ashk-e-naz se
kaifiyat-e-husn ko gham se juda samjha tha main

ai jabin-e-shauq han tujh ko badi zahmat hui
aaj har zarre ko un ka naqsh-e-pa samjha tha main

ek nazar par munhasir thi zist ki kul kaenat
har nazar ko jaan jaan-e-muddaa samjha tha main

aa raha hai kyun kisi ka nam honton tak mere
ai dil-e-muztar tujhe sabr-azma samjha tha main

aap to har har qadam par ho rahe hain jalwa-gar
aap ko hadd-e-nazar se mawara samjha tha main

ye fughan ye shor ye nale ye shewan the fuzul
kya batati thi mohabbat aur kya samjha tha main

us nigah-e-naz ne 'bahzad' mujh ko kho diya
jis nigah-e-naz ko apni dawa samjha tha main
