dekhti hai nigah pani mein
takht-e-alam-panah pani mein

hum se sailab ka maza puchho
hum hue hain tabah pani mein

kya samajhte hain aap ganga-jal
dhul gae kya gunah pani mein

main sunata hun pattharon ko ghazal
aur hoti hai wah pani mein

kashti-e-dil ko ab panah kahan
lahr hai be-panah pani mein

wo meri mamlikat mein aa hi gae
main hua baadshah pani mein

mauj hai ya ada hasinon ki
gah sahil pe gah pani mein

aa hi jaega rah par dariya
tum nikalo to rah pani mein

tu bhi tishna hai aur main bhi hun
khub hogi nibah pani mein

teri aaram-gah sahil par
meri aaram-gah pani mein

tu bata kyon 'fahim' dub gaya
tu raha hai gawah pani mein
