mere badan mein chhupi aag ko hawa dega

mire badan meñ chhupī aag ko havā degā

vo jism phuul hai lekin mujhe jalā degā

tumhāre mehrbāñ hāthoñ ko mere shāne se

mujhe gumāñ bhī na thā vaqt yuuñ haTā degā

hai aur kaun mire ghar meñ ye savāl na kar

mirā javāb tirā rañg-e-ruḳh uḌā degā

chale bhī aao ki ye Dūbtā huā sūraj

charāġh jalne se pahle mujhe bujhā degā

khaḌe hue haiñ yahāñ to buland-himmat log

thake huoñ ko bhalā kaun rāsta degā

daroñ ko band karo varna āñdhiyoñ kā ye zor

tumhāre kachche gharoñ kī chhateñ uḌā degā

jahāñ sab apne hī dāman ko dekhte hoñ 'bashīr'

us anjuman meñ bhalā kaun kis ko kyā degā

mere badan mein chhupi aag ko hawa dega

wo jism phul hai lekin mujhe jala dega

tumhaare mehrban hathon ko mere shane se

mujhe guman bhi na tha waqt yun haTa dega

hai aur kaun mere ghar mein ye sawal na kar

mera jawab tera rang-e-ruKH uDa dega

chale bhi aao ki ye Dubta hua suraj

charagh jalne se pahle mujhe bujha dega

khaDe hue hain yahan to buland-himmat log

thake huon ko bhala kaun rasta dega

daron ko band karo warna aandhiyon ka ye zor

tumhaare kachche gharon ki chhaten uDa dega

jahan sab apne hi daman ko dekhte hon 'bashir'

us anjuman mein bhala kaun kis ko kya dega
