Poet
har taraf majma-e-ashiqan hai
tere dam ka ye saara saman hai
itna maghrur kyuun baghban hai
ye chaman chaar din men khizan hai
ishq men be-khabar ho gaya huun
kis se puchhun mira dil kahan hai
kuchh nahin sujhti sair-e-gulshan
meri ankhon se vo gul nihan hai
dhyan athon-pahar hai usi ka
main yahan huun mira dil vahan hai
siine par rakh ke sota huun us ko
us ki tasvir aram-e-jan hai
aansu bahne lage dekhte hi
zulf-e-mahbub hai ya dhuan hai
jaan parvana hai us pari par
sham-e-sozan har ik ustukhvan hai
be-muravvat hai vo bevafa hai
saari mehnat miri raegan hai
kya tadapte guzarte hi apne
dard-e-dil men hai lab par fughan hai
hijr men kyuun nahin maut aati
haae kya dagh-e-dil maraz-e-jan hai
dhundhta huun main yusuf ko apne
khaak mere pas-e-karvan hai
jam-e-mul haath men vo baghal men
‘bahr’ apni ye qismat kahan hai
