bahs kyuuñ hai kāfir-o-dīñ-dār kī
sab hai qudrat dāvar-e-davvār kī

ham saf-e-''qālu-balā'' meñ kyā na the
kuchh na.ī ḳhvāhish nahīñ dīdār kī

DhūñDh kar dil meñ nikālā tujh ko yaar
tū ne ab mehnat mirī be-kār kī

shakl-e-gul meñ jalva karte ho kabhī
gaah sūrat bulbul-e-gulzār kī

aap aate ho kabhī sub.ha-ba-kaf
karte ho ḳhvāhish kabhī zunnār kī

lan-tarānī aap kī muusā se thī
har jagah hājat nahīñ inkār kī

ḳhaas haiñ maqtūl-e-shamshīr-e-jafā
kuchh to lazzat hai tirī talvār kī

dair-o-ka.aba meñ kalīsā meñ phire
har jagah ham ne talāsh-e-yār kī

sab kī hai taqdīr tere haath meñ
kyā shikāyat muslim o kuffār kī

ham meñ jauhar the ibādat ḳhaas ke
kar diyā insāñ ye miTTī ḳhvār kī

mahr-o-mah ko umr bhar dekhā kiye
thī tamannā rū-e-pur-anvār kī

aur ai 'bahrām' ik likkho ġhazal
aap ko qillat nahīñ ash.ār kī

bahs kyun hai kafir-o-din-dar ki
sab hai qudrat dawar-e-dawwar ki

hum saf-e-qalu-bala mein kya na the
kuchh nai KHwahish nahin didar ki

DhunDh kar dil mein nikala tujh ko yar
tu ne ab mehnat meri be-kar ki

shakl-e-gul mein jalwa karte ho kabhi
gah surat bulbul-e-gulzar ki

aap aate ho kabhi subha-ba-kaf
karte ho KHwahish kabhi zunnar ki

lan-tarani aap ki musa se thi
har jagah hajat nahin inkar ki

KHas hain maqtul-e-shamshir-e-jafa
kuchh to lazzat hai teri talwar ki

dair-o-kaba mein kalisa mein phire
har jagah hum ne talash-e-yar ki

sab ki hai taqdir tere hath mein
kya shikayat muslim o kuffar ki

hum mein jauhar the ibaadat KHas ke
kar diya insan ye miTTi KHwar ki

mahr-o-mah ko umr bhar dekha kiye
thi tamanna ru-e-pur-anwar ki

aur ai 'bahram' ek likkho ghazal
aap ko qillat nahin ashaar ki
