bas khak-e-qadam dijiye takrar bahut ki
mitti miri is khaak ne hi khvar bahut ki
chaid mujh ko tujhe riijh ke takrar bahut ki
khush rah ki khushamad tiri ai yaar bahut ki
hargiz na gai pesh na aaya mah-e-be-mehr
har chand ki zaari pas-e-divar bahut ki
laai kashish-e-dil hi tumhen tum ne to varna
yahan aane men ik umr talak aar bahut ki
us chashm ne dekha dil-e-bimar ko mere
bimar ne kal khatir-e-bimar bahut ki
abru ki tasavvur men hua qatl mira dil
phal kyuun na mile mard tha talvar bahut ki
ushshaq men main hi hadaf-e-tir huun us ka
azmat hi yahi khidmat-e-sarkar bahut ki
is tarah ka be-did to gham hoga jahan men
ki ham ne bhi hai diid trahdar bahut ki
surat tiri aage hi bhabuka thi va-lekin
zulfon ke bikharne ne dhuandhar bahut ki
yahan aath pahar jins se vafa ham ne dikhai
dekha na kharidar to na-char bahut ki
yarab na rahe naam judai ki rah-e-ishq
asan thi par us ne hi dushvar bahut ki
maalum koi din ko tujhe hogi haqiqat
kam us tire iqrar ki inkar bahut ki
har chand ki khat se bhi dhuan-shakl hai ai mah
par khat ki na rakhne ne numudar bahut ki
ghar men na tire kuud saka rat-gae main
haan apni si tadbir to ai yaar bahut ki
bahbud ke asar na dekhe kabhu hargiz
jis shakhs ne unchi tiri divar bahut ki
kam ham sa kharidar baham pahunchega us ko
kyuun ishq ne jins-e-gham-e-bisyar bahut ki
bola sar-e-mansur sar-e-dar pe ‘ehsa۔n’
haq hai ki saza-var the pindar bahut ki
