ham na-qishon ke daur men kamil hue to kya
ujde hue ilaqe ke aamil hue to kya
ham ko to iftikhar hai paigham-e-yar par
jibril asman se nazil hue to kya
muddat se phir rahi hai chhuri jan-e-zar par
ham aaj tegh-e-yar se bismil hue to kya
daghon men us ke dagh-e-mohabbat ki bu kahan
laale ke phuul ham se muqabil hue to kya
rahat nasib ham ko hui rahmat ai karim
takra ke sar bahisht men dakhil hue to kya
phulon men zar luta na gul-e-surkh ka kabhi
be-faiz log raunaq-e-mahfil hue to kya
us ki sifat yahi hai ki be-mange di murad
dargah men karim ke saail hue to kya
asan hain jo nakhun-e-taqdir tez hai
matlab hamare uqda-e-mushkil hue to kya
murdon ko zinda kijiye nam-avari ye hai
iisa banao aap ko qatil hue to kya
har-dam charagh-e-dil ki idhar lau lagi rahe
ham apni yadgar se ghafil hue to kya
hoga na ek rang khizan-o-bahar ka
budhe agar javanon ke shamil hue to kya
apne maal-e-kar se jab be-khabar hue
hafiz hue to khaak jo fasil hue to kya
tan se mafariqat nahin karti tab-e-firaq
taaviz bhi gale men hamail hue to kya
ai ‘bahr’ baghban ki minnat bala kare
do-char phuul baagh se hasil hue to kya
