Kabhi Dekhen Jo Ru-e-yar DaraKHt

kabhi dekhen jo ru-e-yar daraKHt

apne phulon ko samjhen KHar daraKHt

chaar-su hai inhen ka likh piDa

ye anasir ke hain jo chaar daraKHt

mere gulzar mein hain shoale phul

mere har aah shoala-bar daraKHt

sau fasad ek ishq mein uTThe

boya ek tuKHm uge hazar daraKHt

jab chala bagh se wo sarw-e-rawan

ho gae taeron ko dar daraKHt

jis ko tuba zamana kahta hai

tere ghar mein hai saya-dar daraKHt

tu KHizan mein jo sair ko nikle

mere ho jaen be-bahaar daraKHt

phal na laya nihaal-e-ishq apna

phale-phule hazar bar daraKHt

'bahr' kya nashshe mein KHush aate hain

nahr-e-gulshan ke dar par daraKHt
