'bahrī' pachhāne niiñ use gul ke so vo dam-sāz the

chanchal chhabīle chulbule maġhrūr sāhab-nāz the

niiñ ḳhuub dekhe tum use vo āshiqoñ kā taḳht thā

mil ke so apne paañv tal jismāniyāñ suuñ paaz the

ta.ammul ke tum ko duur se jo bhuul ga.e apnā pisar

vo gosh-o-abrū khīñch kar mizhgān tīr-andāz the

nādir 'alīmullāh' kahā ye sher 'bahrī' kā javāb

ushshāq dilbar suuñ sadā ḳhud hamdam-o-hamrāz the

'bahri' pachhane nin use gul ke so wo dam-saz the

chanchal chhabile chulbule maghrur sahab-naz the

nin KHub dekhe tum use wo aashiqon ka taKHt tha

misl-e-sulaiman bar-hawa dar-nim-shab parwaz the

kya parsa ka pairahan aur tujh gada ki gudaDi

mil ke so apne panw tal jismaniyan sun paz the

tammul ke tum ko dur se jo bhul gae apna pisar

wo gosh-o-abru khinch kar mizhgan tir-andaz the

nadir 'alimullah' kaha ye sher 'bahri' ka jawab

ushshaq dilbar sun sada KHud hamdam-o-hamraaz the
