baiThā nahīñ huuñ sāya-e-dīvār dekh kar
Thahrā huā huuñ vaqt kī raftār dekh kar
ham-mashrabī kī sharm gavārā na ho sakī
ḳhud chhoḌ dī hai shaiḳh ko mai-ḳhvār dekh kar
kyā jaane bahr-e-ishq meñ kitne hue haiñ ġharq
sāhil se sat.h-e-āb ko hamvār dekh kar
haiñ aaj tak nigāh meñ hālāñki aaj tak
dekhā na phir kabhī unheñ ik baar dekh kar
'bismil' tum aaj rote ho anjām-e-ishq ko
ham kal samajh ga.e the kuchh āsār dekh kar
