dida-e-be-rang mein KHun-rang manzar rakh diye

dīda-e-be-rañg meñ ḳhūñ-rañg manzar rakh diye

ham ne is dasht-e-tapāñ meñ bhī samundar rakh diye

vo jagah jo la.al-o-gauhar ke liye maqsūd thī

kis ne ye sañg-e-malāmat us jagah par rakh diye

ab kisī kī chīḳh kyā ubhre ki mīr-e-shahr ne

sākinān-e-shahr ke sīnoñ pe patthar rakh diye

shāḳh-sāroñ par na jab izn-e-nasheman mil sakā

ham ne apne āshiyāñ dosh-e-havā par rakh diye

ahl-e-zar ne dekh kar kam-zarfī-e-ahl-e-qalam

hirs-e-zar ke har tarāzū meñ suḳhan-var rakh diye

ham to abresham kī sūrat narm-o-nāzuk the magar

talḳhī-e-hālāt ne lahje meñ ḳhanjar rakh diye

jis havā ko vo samajhte the ki chal saktī nahīñ

us havā ne kaaT kar lashkar ke lashkar rakh diye

'baḳhsh' sayyād-e-azal ne hukm-e-āzādī ke saath

aur asīrī ke bhī ḳhadshe dil ke andar rakh diye

dida-e-be-rang mein KHun-rang manzar rakh diye

hum ne is dasht-e-tapan mein bhi samundar rakh diye

wo jagah jo lal-o-gauhar ke liye maqsud thi

kis ne ye sang-e-malamat us jagah par rakh diye

ab kisi ki chiKH kya ubhre ki mir-e-shahr ne

sakinan-e-shahr ke sinon pe patthar rakh diye

shaKH-saron par na jab izn-e-nasheman mil saka

hum ne apne aashiyan dosh-e-hawa par rakh diye

ahl-e-zar ne dekh kar kam-zarfi-e-ahl-e-qalam

hirs-e-zar ke har taraazu mein suKHan-war rakh diye

hum to abresham ki surat narm-o-nazuk the magar

talKHi-e-haalat ne lahje mein KHanjar rakh diye

jis hawa ko wo samajhte the ki chal sakti nahin

us hawa ne kaT kar lashkar ke lashkar rakh diye

'baKHsh' sayyaad-e-azal ne hukm-e-azadi ke sath

aur asiri ke bhi KHadshe dil ke andar rakh diye
