badla nahin hai tujh se mera dil sambhal ke dekh
le main milaun aankh to aankhen badal ke dekh

apne hi chaal tak hai zamane ka chal-chalaw
kashti pe nakhl-e-sahil-e-dariya ko chal ke dekh

ai dil na chhod daman-e-tifl-e-sarishk ko
rah jaega ba-rang-e-mizha hath mal ke dekh

daman talak kisi ki rasai jo jati ho
manind-e-ashk dida-e-mardum se dhal ke dekh

bahr-e-jahan mein naqsh-bar-ab aadmi ko jaan
misl-e-habab sare hijr ek mal ke dekh

ghunche mein gul-rukhon ke guzari tamam umr
o bu-e-gul-nasim jalae nikal ke dekh
