sochne ka bhi nahin waqt mayassar mujhko

sochne kā bhī nahīñ vaqt mayassar mujh ko

ik kashish hai jo liye phirtī hai dar dar mujh ko

apnā tūfāñ na dikhā.e vo samundar mujh ko

chaar qatre na hue jis se mayassar mujh ko

umr bhar dair-o-haram ne diye chakkar mujh ko

be-kasī kā ho burā le ga.ī ghar ghar mujh ko

shukr hai rah gayā parda mirī uryānī kā

ḳhaak kūche kī tire ban ga.ī chādar mujh ko

chup rahūñ maiñ to ḳhamoshī bhī gila ho jaa.e

aap jo chāheñ vo kah deñ mire muñh par mujh ko

ḳhaak chhānā kiye ham qāfile vāloñ ke liye

qāfile vāloñ ne dekhā bhī na muḌ kar mujh ko

aap zālim nahīñ, zālim hai magar aap kī yaad

vahī kam-baḳht satātī hai barābar mujh ko

inqilābāt ne kuchh aisā pareshān kiyā

ki sujhā.ī nahīñ detā hai tirā dar mujh ko

jur.at-e-shauq to kyā kuchh nahīñ kahtī lekin

paañv phailāne nahīñ detī hai chādar mujh ko

mil ga.ī tishnagī-e-shauq se fursat tā-umr

apne hāthoñ se diyā aap ne sāġhar mujh ko

ab mirā jazba-e-taufīq hai aur maiñ 'bismil'

ḳhizr gum ho ga.e raste pe lagā kar mujh ko

sochne ka bhi nahin waqt mayassar mujh ko

ek kashish hai jo liye phirti hai dar dar mujh ko

apna tufan na dikhae wo samundar mujh ko

chaar qatre na hue jis se mayassar mujh ko

umr bhar dair-o-haram ne diye chakkar mujh ko

be-kasi ka ho bura le gai ghar ghar mujh ko

shukr hai rah gaya parda meri uryani ka

KHak kuche ki tere ban gai chadar mujh ko

chup rahun main to KHamoshi bhi gila ho jae

aap jo chahen wo kah den mere munh par mujh ko

KHak chhana kiye hum qafile walon ke liye

qafile walon ne dekha bhi na muD kar mujh ko

aap zalim nahin, zalim hai magar aap ki yaad

wahi kam-baKHt satati hai barabar mujh ko

inqilabaat ne kuchh aisa pareshan kiya

ki sujhai nahin deta hai tera dar mujh ko

jurat-e-shauq to kya kuchh nahin kahti lekin

panw phailane nahin deti hai chadar mujh ko

mil gai tishnagi-e-shauq se fursat ta-umr

apne hathon se diya aap ne saghar mujh ko

ab mera jazba-e-taufiq hai aur main 'bismil'

KHizr gum ho gae raste pe laga kar mujh ko
