partaw-e-husn ek hai aur aaina-KHane bahut
ek haqiqat ne bana Dale hain afsane bahut
ruKHsat ai chaak-e-gareban dast-e-wahshat alwidaa
baDh chuke hain ab junun ki had se diwane bahut
kho na jaen kasrat-e-asnam mein wahdat-parast
bandagi ke zehn mein hote hain but-KHane bahut
sham-e-turbat par meri aate hue jalte hain par
sham-e-mahfil par to aa jate the parwane bahut
'bismil' is dilli ke in sunsan viranon mein aah
gunjte hain aaj bhi ibrat ke afsane bahut
Ghazal
Partaw-e-husn ek hai aur aaina-KHane bahut
