hum apni fikr ka chehra badal ke dekhte hain
tilism khwab se bahar nikal ke dekhte hain

suna ye hai ki bahut tez gam ho tum log
tumhaare sath zara hum bhi chal ke dekhte hain

utha ke chand sitaron ko sar pe dekh chuke
hum apne mathe pe ab khak mal ke dekhte hain

zara pata to chale husn-e-ahd-e-nau kya hai
nai nigah ke sanche mein dhal ke dekhte hain

nai hayat ki taswir dekhne wale
had-e-nigah se aage nikal ke dekhte hain

ye kaise dost hain puchhe to koi un se zara
sambhaalte nahin lekin sambhal ke dekhte hain

yahan wahan to bahut jal chuke miyan 'qaisar'
ab apne dil ki samadhi pe jal ke dekhte hain
