nazar dekhte hain jigar dekhte hain
tujhe har taraf jalwa-gar dekhte hain

wo hans kar ada se jidhar dekhte hain
zamane ko zer-o-zabar dekhte hain

yahi hain jo khud-biniyan to tumhin ko
lagegi tumhaari nazar dekhte hain

rahi jab na panw uthane ki taqat
khule aaj zindan ke dar dekhte hain

kahin aa bhi o subh-e-ummid-e-alam
teri rah murgh-e-sahar dekhte hain

palat kar wo aae hain mayyat se meri
yahi khwab hum raat bhar dekhte hain

jo mumkin nahin tere dar tak rasai
to baithe teri rahguzar dekhte hain

kahin bagh mein gar bhadakte hain shoale
to ghabra ke hum baal-o-par dekhte hain

chamakte hain jab aasman par sitare
to hum apne dagh-e-jigar dekhte hain
