rahon ke unch-nich zara dekh-bhaal ke
rāhoñ ke ūñch-nīch zarā dekh-bhāl ke
haañ rahrav-e-murād qadam rakh sambhāl ke
fitnoñ ko dekh apne qadam rok baiTh jā
rāteñ ye āfatoñ kī haiñ ye din vabāl ke
maiñ sargirāñ thā hijr kī rātoñ ke qarz se
māyūs ho ke lauT ga.e din visāl ke
kuchh ye na thā ki maiñ ne na samjhī bisāt-e-dahr
maiñ ḳhud hī khel haar gayā dekh-bhāl ke
sāmān-e-dil ko be-sar-o-sāmāniyāñ milīñ
kuchh aur bhī javāb the mere savāl ke
lamhoñ kī lai pe guzrī haiñ rāteñ nashāt kī
kis dhun meñ din kaTeñge ye ranj o malāl ke
taḳhlīq hai mirī tirī taḳhlīq se alag
maiñ bhī banātā rahtā huuñ paikar ḳhayāl ke
pyāsī zamīn-e-dil hai paḌā qaht-e-fasl-e-shauq
haañ ai havā kidhar ga.e din barshgāl ke
'bāqar' ye daañt biich zabāñ band kyuuñ huī
qaa.el to aap bhī the bahut qīl-o-qāl ke
rahon ke unch-nich zara dekh-bhaal ke
han rahraw-e-murad qadam rakh sambhaal ke
fitnon ko dekh apne qadam rok baiTh ja
raaten ye aafaton ki hain ye din wabaal ke
main sargiran tha hijr ki raaton ke qarz se
mayus ho ke lauT gae din visal ke
kuchh ye na tha ki main ne na samjhi bisat-e-dahr
main KHud hi khel haar gaya dekh-bhaal ke
saman-e-dil ko be-sar-o-samaniyan milin
kuchh aur bhi jawab the mere sawal ke
lamhon ki lai pe guzri hain raaten nashat ki
kis dhun mein din kaTenge ye ranj o malal ke
taKHliq hai meri teri taKHliq se alag
main bhi banata rahta hun paikar KHayal ke
pyasi zamin-e-dil hai paDa qaht-e-fasl-e-shauq
han ai hawa kidhar gae din barshgal ke
'baqar' ye dant bich zaban band kyun hui
qael to aap bhi the bahut qil-o-qal ke
