ek bewafa ko dard ka darman bana liya

ik bevafā ko dard kā darmāñ banā liyā

ham ne to aah kufr ko īmāñ banā liyā

dil kī ḳhalish-pasañdiyāñ haiñ ki allāh kī panāh

tīr-e-nazar ko jān-e-rag-e-jāñ banā liyā

mujh ko ḳhabar nahīñ mire dil ko ḳhabar nahīñ

kis kī nazar ne banda-e-ehsāñ banā liyā

mahsūs kar ke ham ne mohabbat kā har alam

ḳhvāb-e-subuk ko ḳhvāb-e-pareshāñ banā liyā

dast-e-junūñ kī uqda-kushā.ī to dekhiye

dāman ko be-niyāz garebāñ banā liyā

taskīn-e-dil kī ham ne bhī parvāh chhoḌ dī

har mauj-e-ġham ko hāsil-e-tūfāñ banā liyā

jab un kā naam aa gayā ham muztarib hue

aahoñ ko apnī ziist kā unvāñ banā liyā

ham ne to apne dil meñ vo ġham ho ki ho alam

jo koī aa gayā use mehmāñ banā liyā

ā.īna dekhne kī zarūrat na thī koī

apne ko ḳhud hī aap ne hairāñ banā liyā

ik be-vafā pe kar ke tasadduq dil-o-jigar

'bahzād' ham ne ḳhud ko pareshāñ banā liyā

ek bewafa ko dard ka darman bana liya

hum ne to aah kufr ko iman bana liya

dil ki KHalish-pasandiyan hain ki allah ki panah

tir-e-nazar ko jaan-e-rag-e-jaan bana liya

mujh ko KHabar nahin mere dil ko KHabar nahin

kis ki nazar ne banda-e-ehsan bana liya

mahsus kar ke hum ne mohabbat ka har alam

KHwab-e-subuk ko KHwab-e-pareshan bana liya

dast-e-junun ki uqda-kushai to dekhiye

daman ko be-niyaz gareban bana liya

taskin-e-dil ki hum ne bhi parwah chhoD di

har mauj-e-gham ko hasil-e-tufan bana liya

jab un ka nam aa gaya hum muztarib hue

aahon ko apni zist ka unwan bana liya

hum ne to apne dil mein wo gham ho ki ho alam

jo koi aa gaya use mehman bana liya

aaina dekhne ki zarurat na thi koi

apne ko KHud hi aap ne hairan bana liya

ek be-wafa pe kar ke tasadduq dil-o-jigar

'bahzad' hum ne KHud ko pareshan bana liya
