wo jo bhi karen shikwe KHamosh suna karna

vo jo bhī kareñ shikve ḳhāmosh sunā karnā

dastūr hai ulfat kā apnoñ se gila karnā

turbat pe mirī aa kar itnī to vafā karnā

do phuul chaḌhā kar tum baḳhshish kī duā karnā

bechain rahā ab tak us but kī mohabbat meñ

hotā vo nahīñ merā āḳhir mujhe kyā karnā

sheva hī rahā apnā zid un kī uThāne kā

un kī bhī ye aadat hai apnā hī kahā karnā

sayyād na kar aisā kambaḳht sitam hai ye

bulbul ko bahāroñ meñ gulshan se judā karnā

duniyā ke sitam haiñ kuchh aise hī yahāñ 'bāsir'

be-dard zamāne meñ achchhoñ kā burā karnā

wo jo bhi karen shikwe KHamosh suna karna

dastur hai ulfat ka apnon se gila karna

turbat pe meri aa kar itni to wafa karna

do phul chaDha kar tum baKHshish ki dua karna

bechain raha ab tak us but ki mohabbat mein

hota wo nahin mera aaKHir mujhe kya karna

shewa hi raha apna zid un ki uThane ka

un ki bhi ye aadat hai apna hi kaha karna

sayyaad na kar aisa kambaKHt sitam hai ye

bulbul ko bahaaron mein gulshan se juda karna

duniya ke sitam hain kuchh aise hi yahan 'basir'

be-dard zamane mein achchhon ka bura karna
