Kabhi Aankhon Pe Kabhi Sar Pe biThae Rakhna

kabhi ankhon pe kabhi sar pe biTha.e rakhna

zindagi talḳh sahi dil se laga.e rakhna

lafz to lafz hain kaghaz se bhi ḳhushbu phuTe

safha-e-vaqt pe vo phuul khila.e rakhna

chand kya chiiz hai suraj bhi ubhar aa.ega

zulmat-e-shab men lahu dil ka jala.e rakhna

hurmat-e-harf pe ilzam na aane paa.e

suḳhan-e-haq ko sar-e-dar saja.e rakhna

farsh to farsh falak par bhi suna.i dega

meri avaz men avaz mila.e rakhna

kabhi vo yaad bhi aa.e to malamat karna

kabhi us shoḳh ki tasvir bana.e rakhna

‘baḳhsh’ sikha hai shahidan-e-vafa se ham ne

haath kaT jaa.en alam munh se uTha.e rakhna
