aashna koi ba-wafa na mila
āshnā koī bā-vafā na milā
kashti-e-dil kā nāḳhudā na milā
jā-e-marham namak chhīḌaknā thā
zaḳhm khāne kā kuchh mazā na milā
us ke kūche meñ aise bhūle ham
ghar ke jaane kā rāsta na milā
dil diyā jis ko rañj hai paayā
koī dildār bā-vafā na milā
zindagī talḳh ho ga.ī apnī
tujh se milne kā kuchh mazā na milā
dekh lī ham ne dostī terī
ham se ab aañkh bevafā na milā
kuchh ijāra nahīñ bane na bane
kyā shikāyat hai dil milā na milā
āsmāñ par dimāġh-e-yār rahā
kabhī jhuk kar vo mah-laqā na milā
bosa-e-lab kī tum se kyā ummīd
ek biiḌā bhī paan kā na milā
DhūñDhtī haiñ kunisht meñ jā kar
shaiḳh ka.abe meñ to ḳhudā na milā
ek ik ko pilā.e do do jaam
dard bhī ham ko sāqiyā na milā
naqal kab asl kī muqābil hai
us ke chehre se aa banā na milā
nazar aa.ī jo vo dahan to kahūñ
mujh ko anqā kā āshiyāna milā
jin ko takiya thā apnī masnad par
un ko dekhā ki boriyā na milā
'bahr' nikle the DhūñDhne us ko
aise kho.e ga.e patā na milā
aashna koi ba-wafa na mila
kashti-e-dil ka naKHuda na mila
ja-e-marham namak chhiDakna tha
zaKHm khane ka kuchh maza na mila
us ke kuche mein aise bhule hum
ghar ke jaane ka rasta na mila
dil diya jis ko ranj hai paya
koi dildar ba-wafa na mila
zindagi talKH ho gai apni
tujh se milne ka kuchh maza na mila
dekh li hum ne dosti teri
hum se ab aankh bewafa na mila
kuchh ijara nahin bane na bane
kya shikayat hai dil mila na mila
aasman par dimagh-e-yar raha
kabhi jhuk kar wo mah-laqa na mila
bosa-e-lab ki tum se kya ummid
ek biDa bhi pan ka na mila
DhunDhti hain kunisht mein ja kar
shaiKH kabe mein to KHuda na mila
ek ek ko pilae do do jam
dard bhi hum ko saqiya na mila
naqal kab asl ki muqabil hai
us ke chehre se aa bana na mila
nazar aai jo wo dahan to kahun
mujh ko anqa ka aashiyana mila
jin ko takiya tha apni masnad par
un ko dekha ki boriya na mila
'bahr' nikle the DhunDhne us ko
aise khoe gae pata na mila
