jun bhi jo rengne nahin deti thi kan par
juuñ bhī jo reñgne nahīñ detī thī kaan par
kālak lagā ke chhoḌ ga.ī ḳhāndān par
maa.il haiñ zehn-o-fikr jo ūñchī uḌaan par
yuuñ paañv haiñ zamīñ pe nazar āsmān par
ārām se haiñ ūñchī imārāt ke makīñ
patthar baras rahe haiñ shikasta-makān par
arzāñ-farosh par nahīñ uThtī nazar koī
rahtī hai bhiiḌ shahr kī mahñgī dukān par
jaise badan meñ jaan hī baaqī nahīñ rahī
mahsūs ho rahā hai safar kī takān par
biphre samundaroñ pe barastā chalā gayā
aayā na abr dhuup meñ tapte makān par
dil reza reza hai to jigar hai lahū lahū
kaisī banī huī hai mohabbat kī jaan par
haañ rahravo milegī tumheñ manzil-e-hayāt
chalte raho hamāre qadam ke nishān par
ḳhuddarī-e-jamāl gavārā na kar sakī
us ne masal ke pheñk diyā phuul lawn par
'bāġhī' bhaTak rahā huuñ maiñ sahrā-e-shauq meñ
kyā naqsh us ne likh ke khilāyā thā paan par
jun bhi jo rengne nahin deti thi kan par
kalak laga ke chhoD gai KHandan par
mail hain zehn-o-fikr jo unchi uDan par
yun panw hain zamin pe nazar aasman par
aaram se hain unchi imaraat ke makin
patthar baras rahe hain shikasta-makan par
arzan-farosh par nahin uThti nazar koi
rahti hai bhiD shahr ki mahngi dukan par
jaise badan mein jaan hi baqi nahin rahi
mahsus ho raha hai safar ki takan par
biphre samundaron pe barasta chala gaya
aaya na abr dhup mein tapte makan par
dil reza reza hai to jigar hai lahu lahu
kaisi bani hui hai mohabbat ki jaan par
han rahrawo milegi tumhein manzil-e-hayat
chalte raho hamare qadam ke nishan par
KHuddari-e-jamal gawara na kar saki
us ne masal ke phenk diya phul lawn par
'baghi' bhaTak raha hun main sahra-e-shauq mein
kya naqsh us ne likh ke khilaya tha pan par
