ye dil jo muztarib rahta bahut hai
koi is dasht mein tadpa bahut hai

koi is raat ko dhalne se roke
mera qissa abhi rahta bahut hai

bahut hi tang hun aankhon ke hathon
ye dariya aaj kal bahta bahut hai

ba-waqt-e-sham ikatthe dubte hain
dil aur suraj mein yarana bahut hai

bahut hi ras hai sahra lahu ko
ki sahra mein lahu ugta bahut hai

mubarak us ko us ke tar niwale
mujhe sukha hua tukda bahut hai

bayaz is waste khali hai meri
mujhe aflas ne becha bahut hai

buton ka nam bhi padhta hai 'be-dil'
khuda ka nam bhi leta bahut hai
