ifa-e-vaada aap se ai yaar ho chuka
us ka to imtihan kai baar ho chuka
ahbab haath uthaen hamare ilaaj se
sehat-pazir ishq ka bimar ho chuka
vo be-hisab bakhsh de ye baat aur hai
apne hisab men to gunahgar ho chuka
main haath jodta huun badi der se huzur
lag jaiye gale se ab inkar ho chuka
bechun kahan main apne dil-e-dagh-dar ko
sauda bura pasand kharidar ho chuka
piiri men parvarish hai abas jism-e-zar ki
phenkun kisi ghadi main ye bekar ho chuka
barham vo shokh kyuun na ho kyuun zulf ko chhua
ye haath hathkadi ke saza-var ho chuka
ab mujh se iltiyam ki baten na kijiye
dil tum se phat gaya jigar afgar ho chuka
mujh dil-figar ko na rahi tum se kuchh umiid
ye khatt-e-sabz marham-e-zangar ho chuka
darban ko salam karen ghar ki raah len
vo munh chhupa ke baithe hain didar ho chuka
bande ke haal par nazar-parvarish rahe
husn-e-malih ka main namak-khvar ho chuka
luun bosa khun-baha main us abru-kaman se
ab to jigar se tir-e-nigah paar ho chuka
ai ‘bahr’ ab to baat bhi karta nahin vo shokh
vo rasm-o-rah ho chuki vo pyaar ho chuka
