ek sitam-gar ko pyar kaun kare

ik sitam-gar ko pyaar kaun kare

ziist ko be-qarār kaun kare

jab ki suntā nahīñ koī fariyād

phir fuġhāñ bār-bār kaun kare

ġham sahe kaun us kī furqat meñ

jabr ko iḳhtiyār kaun kare

kyā ḳhabar ye bhī pher le āñkheñ

dard kā e'tibār kaun kare

kahīñ 'ādat na dil ko ho jaa.e

aap kā intizār kaun kare

sunñe vaalā hī jab nahīñ koī

zikr-e-sub.h-e-bahār kaun kare

jin ko saaqī ne kar diyā be-ḳhud

ab unheñ hoshiyār kaun kare

ab kise apnī jaan dūbhar hai

husn vāloñ ko pyaar kaun kare

ham to apne meñ kho ga.e 'bahzād'

sajda ik samt-e-yār kaun kare

ek sitam-gar ko pyar kaun kare

zist ko be-qarar kaun kare

jab ki sunta nahin koi fariyaad

phir fughan bar-bar kaun kare

gham sahe kaun us ki furqat mein

jabr ko iKHtiyar kaun kare

kya KHabar ye bhi pher le aankhen

dard ka e'tibar kaun kare

kahin 'adat na dil ko ho jae

aap ka intizar kaun kare

sunne wala hi jab nahin koi

zikr-e-subh-e-bahaar kaun kare

jin ko saqi ne kar diya be-KHud

ab unhen hoshiyar kaun kare

ab kise apni jaan dubhar hai

husn walon ko pyar kaun kare

hum to apne mein kho gae 'bahzad'

sajda ek samt-e-yar kaun kare
