ahl-e-zar ne dekh kar kam-zarfi-e-ahl-e-qalam
hirs-e-zar ke har taraazu mein suKHan-war rakh diye
Bakhsh Layalpuri
dard-e-hijrat ke satae hue logon ko kahin
saya-e-dar bhi nazar aae to ghar lagta hai
Bakhsh Layalpuri
ghar bhi virana lage taza hawaon ke baghair
baad-e-KHush-rang chale dasht bhi ghar lagta hai
Bakhsh Layalpuri
hamare KHwab chori ho gae hain
hamein raaton ko nind aati nahin hai
Bakhsh Layalpuri
husul-e-manzil-e-jaan ka hunar nahin aaya
wo raushni thi ki kuchh bhi nazar nahin aaya
Bakhsh Layalpuri
kabhi aankhon pe kabhi sar pe biThae rakhna
zindagi talKH sahi dil se lagae rakhna
Bakhsh Layalpuri
koi shai dil ko bahlati nahin hai
pareshani ki rut jati nahin hai
Bakhsh Layalpuri
wahi patthar laga hai mere sar par
azal se jis ko sajde kar raha hun
Bakhsh Layalpuri
