pahle se dekhnā kahīñ behtar banā.eñge
ab apnā ek aur muqaddar banā.eñge
bigḌe hue haiñ zid pe haiñ kaun un se kyā kahe
is vaqt baat baat ke daftar banā.eñge
dekheñge apne dil ke tahammul kī kaifiyat
ham un ko aur chheḌ ke ḳhud-sar banā.eñge
aane to do bahār kā mausam junūñ ke din
apne liye ham aap hī nashtar banā.eñge
bismil chaleñge aaj dar-e-yār tak zarūr
pazhmurda dil ko tere gul-e-tar banā.eñge
