Bekal Utsahi
tamanna ban ga.i hai maya-e-ilzam kya hoga
magar dil hai abhi tak tishna-e-paigham kya hoga
vo betab-e-tamasha hi sahi ai tab-e-nazzara
laraz uThta hai dil ye soch kar anjam kya hoga
yahan jo kuchh bhi hai vo partav-e-ehsas hai saaqi
ba-juz baada javab-e-gardish-e-ayyam kya hoga
kabhi jis ke yaqin se ka.enat-e-ishq raushan thi
vahi ab hai asir-e-halqa-e-auham kya hoga
junun-e-shauq ka aalam hama masti sahi lekin
ye aalam bhi javab-e-shoḳhi-e-paigham kya hoga
chale to ho mizaj-e-yar ki pursish ko ai ‘bekal’
magar ye soch lo andaz-e-istifham kya hoga
