BaKHt Kya Jaane Bhala Ya Ki Bura Hota Hai

baKHt kya jaane bhala ya ki bura hota hai

kaif-o-gham zarf ke laeq hi ata hota hai

ye wo bazar-e-kashakash hai jahan par insan

hasb-e-taufiq KHaridar-e-haya hota hai

muddaton rahta hai jab aadmi zahmat-ba-kanar

raaz-e-sar-basta mahakat ka wa hota hai

dil hai dozaKH mein kuchh is tarah tabassum-bar-lab

jaise kanTon mein koi phul khila hota hai

be-talab rose ata karta hai kanTon ko lahu

kitna isar-pasand aabla-pa hota hai

sab ko pairahan-e-gul ki hai tamanna lekin

har nafas aish ka paigham-e-qaza hota hai

aatish-e-batn mein gal jate hain KHud-kaam shuyuKH

sahab-e-dard parastar-e-KHuda hota hai

teri rahmat se hai mahfuz anishshar banda

warna insan to taswir-e-KHata hota hai

pahlu-e-zarra mein pinhan hai jahan-e-mani

resha-e-sang mein aaina-sara hota hai

ain ghurbat mein nikharta hai KHudi ka jauhar

naKHl-e-ausaf lahu pi ke hara hota hai

sabr ki shaKH mein lagta hai wo miTha mewa

sab se duniya mein alag jis ka maza hota hai

hum faqiron ko sahaare ki zarurat kya hai

be sahaaron ka sahaara to KHuda hota hai

tera har sher hai 'bebak' amal ki dawat

ya koi musi-e-imran ka asa hota hai
