sitam karo na karo iḳhtiyār baaqī hai
jo ham nahīñ to hamārā mazār baaqī hai
ga.ī bahār magar apnī be-ḳhudī hai vahī
samajh rahā huuñ ki ab tak bahār baaqī hai
hazār marhala-e-intizār tai bhī hue
hazār marhala-e-intizār baaqī hai
shikast-e-tauba hai aisī savāb meñ dāḳhil
abhī se tauba 'mubārak' bahār baaqī hai
