Kabhi dekhen jo ru-e-yar daraKHt

kabhi dekhen jo ru-e-yar daraKHt
apne phulon ko samjhen KHar daraKHt

chaar-su hai inhen ka likh piDa
ye anasir ke hain jo chaar daraKHt

mere gulzar mein hain shoale phul
mere har aah shoala-bar daraKHt

sau fasad ek ishq mein uTThe
boya ek tuKHm uge hazar daraKHt

jab chala bagh se wo sarw-e-rawan
ho gae taeron ko dar daraKHt

jis ko tuba zamana kahta hai
tere ghar mein hai saya-dar daraKHt

tu KHizan mein jo sair ko nikle
mere ho jaen be-bahaar daraKHt

phal na laya nihaal-e-ishq apna
phale-phule hazar bar daraKHt

'bahr' kya nashshe mein KHush aate hain
nahr-e-gulshan ke dar par daraKHt
