mere munh par ye sunehra laal aanchal rehne de
achcha lagta hai aankhon mein ye kaajal rehne de
mere dil mein mat kar talaash ye duniya-daari
mujhe dilli ka wahi aawara pagal rehne de
apne iss dil mein mujhe jagah bhi na de ab
mujhe wahi barsata, bhatkta, baadal rehne de
chand roz baad bohat duur chala jaunga tujhse
mere paas bhi fursat ke ek-do pal rehne de
"bedil" maah-e-sitambar ki ye atthara taareekh hai
kahan jayega tu ghar ko chod kar chal rehne de
hum bhi aankhon mein khoon dilon mein junoon rakhte hai
dilli hi nahin pareshan saara dehra doon rakhte hai
rona dhona ik tumhe hi nahin aata meri jaan
hum bhi apni aankhon mein kai mansoon rakhte hai
tum ho kahin ke bade naamcheen shayar toh kya
hum kamron mein bandh tere jaise aflatoon rakhte hai
"bedil" ke gusse ko parkhane ki himakat na kar
tu shayad jaanta nahin hum aankhon mein khoon rakhte hain
tum bhi pareshan hum bhi pareshan dilli mein
hum do hi toh dukhi hai insan dilli mein
kisi bhookhe ko yahan koi roti nahi deta
dil chotte aur bade hai makan dilli mein
rishta banta nahi ki toot jaata hai pehle
ishq ho ya dosti kuch nahi aasan dilli mein
aate aate aaya khayal ye bhi tauba ki
maut hai mehangi sasti hai jaan dilli mein
yun toh hadse har raat hote hain 'bedil' magar
bachte nahi subah unnke nishan dilli mein
