مخالفت سے مری شخصیت سنورتی ہے
میں دشمنوں کا بڑا احترام کرتا ہوں
بشیر بدر

اجالے اپنی یادوں کے ہمارے ساتھ رہنے دو
نہ جانے کس گلی میں زندگی کی شام ہو جائے
بشیر بدر


آنکھوں میں رہا دل میں اتر کر نہیں دیکھا
کشتی کے مسافر نے سمندر نہیں دیکھا
بشیر بدر

اگر تلاش کروں کوئی مل ہی جائے گا
مگر تمہاری طرح کون مجھ کو چاہے گا
بشیر بدر
