hāsil-e-zīst ishq hī to nahīñ
chashm-o-abrū hī zindagī to nahīñ
zulf-e-shab-rañg-o-chashm-e-sehr-andāz
ye bahut kuchh haiñ par yahī to nahīñ
mere lab tak tire taġhāful kī
baat aa.ī magar kahī to nahīñ
aap nārāz ho ga.e itnā
ye koī aisī baat bhī to nahīñ
kaT hī jā.egī ye bhī ai 'bāqar'
hijr kī raat dā.imī to nahīñ
